      Yes, I am sending out the packages a few at a time. Apologies if you haven't received yours yet. There is an enormous stack of half assembled boxes in my living room, it may take a while before they are all finished!

      Thanks for pledging, Anne!
      For the contributors who receive one reel, I will ask which of the three you'd like to receive when I get all of your addresses and mailing information. All three of the buildings have some fabulous interior spaces and interesting stories.

      I find old abandoned buildings really interesting so hope this project is a success! Will the backers who have selected to receive "One American Ruins 3D View-Master reel" get to choose which one they want? Candy factory sounds amazing!
