Update #4: 20,000 minibooks?

Posted on May 22, 2011

Thanks to everyone's generosity, I may have enough money to print not 10,000, but 20,000 minibooks! What's not clear is whether I'll have the money to store and ship all those. Certainly 20,000 minibooks would create an interesting pressure to distribute them as widely and freely as possible; they'll be cheaper to give away than to store long term. I'm investigating whether large cartons of them can be drop-shipped directly from the printer; if so, I'll create a new "reward" category consisting of a full carton at cost, which you can seed in your city.

The book is pasted up and any necessary revisions will happen this week. The current list of included comics is below. Speak now or forever hold your peace!

Love,

--Nina
