The book proof is here + we're fully funded
Dear supporters:
As kickstarter let you know yesterday, the book project is officially funded thanks to your support. I'm amazed and grateful. There were nearly $6k in pre-orders, provided by over 200 people which is nothing short of amazing.
The book itself is in the final stages of production. A few days ago I received a proof of the book from Lightning Source, the POD (Print on Demand) service I'm using, and it looks great (see a snapshot below). Tim and I found some small corrections and resubmitted the book last night. If all goes well, we'll receive an updated proof end of this week, and unless there are major problems, I'll sign off and the book will go into production. If you contributed before 9/1 your name, or kickstarter handle, is in the book.
The official launch date for the book is Thursday Nov 3rd. I'm throwing a big party here in Seattle and all of you kickstarter support are invited. Contact me (if you haven't already) to get on the invite list if you're a local or will be in town.
When will you get your books and prizes? My goal is to make sure you folks get the book before everyone else. Since I'm new at this, I don't know yet exactly when this will be.
For special prizes (essays, skype chats, etc.) I will be in touch about scheduling. My hope is to deliver these in the first few weeks after the book is out.
I'll keep you posted as more of the details on book delivery are nailed down. Thanks for joining me on this adventure and I hope you'll stay tuned.
