      Dear Brom and John,

      I hope I wasn't to late to respond to your mailing request.

      Thanks for this wonderful opportunity...Wish I could have pledged more.

      Hi John, I original backed for the $70 and was going to have someone in the States get the book for me and hang onto it, but that plan is no longer something I can do. I'm in the UK and have completed the survey with my own address as of June 2013, but I think I'll need to add the extra cash for shipping. Not sure how's best to do that (this is one of my first backed projects). Is there some way I can add the shipping cost for international delivery?

    8. Brom-photo.small

      Creator Brom and Flesk Publications on April 26

      Hi, Chris,

      I have the note down already that you pledged extra for a second book. Go ahead and send me a message with the details (cover choice, personalization) and I'll add the information to my notes. I'll make sure you get what you pledged for.

      Thanks,

      John

      Hi, Diesel,
      Thanks for the offer. It's actually easier for me to mail the book to you since I won't be at GenCon. I know Brom will be there, but I'll be handling all of the orders. Plus you'll get it sooner.
      Thanks,
      John

      Hi John/Brom. I just left my backer info. However, if you want to wait and hand over the book at GenCon I am fine with that. Saves you a few bucks on postage. Thanks - Diesel

      Got a dumb question I am within a month of moving so I just got my survey and since I won't know a for sure on the place I am moving for another week at most, I am hesitant to complete the survey is there a timeframe you need this back by?

      Howdy. I saw the listing of the supporters, and didn't mean for my name to be in quotes.
      so not "Glen McFerren, M.D."
      but Glen McFerren, M.D.

      ah well, thanks much....and hope to see you again at NYCC.

      @fredgiblet: Well, Larry does mention Brom and this VERY successful campaign, so I'd say yes. Larry will also be getting some of my money since, just like at this KS, the stretch goals have been amazing.

      @Dudu: Call your bank. They might have a hold on the payment since it's an international one by way of Amazon Payments.

      Can't wait. $49 is a great price for a hard cover art book, let alone having that cover the price of shipping too. Going to need to save up to get the poster matted and framed....Always wanted to buy one of his books, but art books aren't cheap.

      In addition to my reply to Caz, every book I have published (38 to date) was printed with soy inks and the paper is from a sustainable source. The materials used for "The Art of Brom" will follow my same guidelines and requirements.

      Chris, --A great idea to get the prints framed. It means a lot to Brom and me that you would feel compelled to join in without having been familiar with his work before. Thanks!

      ArtOverlord, --Ha!

      Caz, --I'm a vegetarian also (for 22 years) and make a point to not use any animal products in the books I publish. I'm with you! (The funny thing is "Flesk" translates to pork in Faroese.)

      Martin, --That rules byakhee leather out!

      @John Flesk: Thank you.

      Regarding cover materials, I believe Chaosium were planning on using faux-byakhee leather on their steamer trunks... I assume real byakhee leather has associated supply problems as these servants of Hastur live in interstellar space. :)

      Creator Caz Draven on October 4, 2012

      Another backer here who was unaware of the brilliance of Brom who could not resist pledging for the signed fantasy edition with sketchbook and loving the additional prints!

      One comment I would like to make is that in regards to the updated book binding, as a vegetarian I would like to suggest that real leather is not used in the improvement as there are synthetic materials that do a fine job without needing to alienate potential customers/backers.

      Ultrasuede with metal button embellishments would look a treat but I will be happy however it is bound as long as not in animal skin :-)

      Creator Chris Holt on October 4, 2012

      I'm with Ashley, I'd never seen the art or heard of Brom before but randomly browsing through Kickstarter, I found this (at the beginning of the campaign) and was instantly taken by the few images posted on the page. Really looking forward to seeing the finished product. I'm also thinking of a frame design for the signed prints: because everyone knows that signed art belongs in a frame, and not in a portfolio.

      :)

      Cheers, keep up the good work.

      We would like to thank everyone for the suggestions we have received so far! Brom and I are already reviewing premium binding samples, and look forward to surprising you with our final pick in one of our future updates. We plan on sharing updates through Kickstarter and the Flesk Publications website at the beginning of each month. We look forward to keeping you all up to date!
