The kickstarter was a definite success, each of you deserves a massive thank you from me for your support. The fundraiser reached 152% of it's goal and I am extremely grateful to everyone who donated funds. it's going to be a great book, one that wouldn't exist without a community effort, thank you again for making it happen.
The book is already at the printers and if everything goes smoothly the process of sending rewards can begin by mid April or sooner.
