      Very nice indeed.

Update #7: The book is printing!

Posted on March 30

After a long battle the book is finally with the printer! I expect to get a full proof within a couple weeks and if there are no problems (fingers-crossed) books will be shipping pretty soon after. This also means that I will finally be able to handle the other rewards! So—look for those soon!!

Thank you all for your continued support and patience!
