Update #30: Crap Hound No. 8: Superstitions Kickstarter!
Dear Crap Hound Backer,
Just a quick update to let you know that we have launched our next Kickstarter project to raise funds to print the all new Crap Hound No. 8: Superstitions! As usual we're preselling copies of Crap Hound and this time around we're offering a new round of rewards including tote bags, rubber stamps and wrapping paper!
If you enjoyed Hands, Hearts and Eyes chances are you're going to love Superstitions! Thousands of superstition related images as well as the popular random pages and copyright free typefaces. We hope you'll take a moment to check out our new project and consider backing and/or sharing it!
If you are one of our subscribers look for you final issue in late August/early September. We will contact everyone closer to the arrival date to confirm mailing addresses.
Thanks,
Chloe
P.S. If you have any questions or problems, please do not leave a comment on this update -- send us a message via Kickstarter.
Update #29: Crap Hound #4 Update & Our Latest Kickstarter Project! Please Read!
Dear Backers,
By now, if your pledge was successful and you provided your mailing address, you all should have received your rewards for our Crap Hound #4 Kickstarter project. Note to subscribers: the last issue in your subscription will ship this summer! If you haven't received yours, either we don't have your address or your package was lost in the mail (this seems to happen a couple times per project). Please contact us at info @ readingfrenzy.com. Include your name, mailing address, and what level you pledged at and we will follow up on your order ASAP. Leaving comments on our project updates or elsewhere is not an effective way to get in touch.
Sean is hard at work on the brand new Crap Hound! No. 8: Superstitions, which will come out this summer! While No. 5: Hands, Hearts & Eyes has always been my favorite (and our best selling) I think Superstitions is going to blow everyone away! We'll be launching a Kickstarter project to cover printing and shipping costs in June.
Our current project can be viewed here: http://kck.st/i51uqw . We're raising funds to put out the next three prints in our Reading Frenzy Print Series! These prints celebrate our favorite pastime by some of our favorite artists, and the proceeds help support our shop! They make great gifts for librarians, teachers and avid readers of all ages. They're each limited to editions of 250 so grab one while you can! Our first three artists are Carson Ellis, Aaron Renier and Nikki McClure and this summer we'll be rolling out a print by Kate Bingaman-Burt! The prints are pictured below! Please consider becoming a backer and sharing our project!
Finally, we're pleased as punch to have a Curated Page on Kickstarter where we get to plug our favorite projects! You can view our page here and view the other Curated Pages here.
Keep Reading (and Sharing and Pledging)!
Your Faithful Proprietress,
Chloe

Finally, please help us spread the word about our project ~ share it on Facebook, Twitter and Tumbler, grab the widget for your blog, email your friends! As soon as we meet our goal we can turn it over to our printer ~ if we're lucky we'll get to go to press before our Kickstarter project ends!

Update #23: Crap Hound No. 4 Available Now!
Our Kickstarter project has ended, however, you can get your very own copy of Crap Hound at Reading Frenzy. I think we'll be putting button sets and few left over prints up on the site (we printed too many) soon. Subscriptions and other rewards are NO LONGER AVAILABLE.
If you're a distributor or retailer interested in carrying Crap Hound send me a message and I'll set you up.
Thanks!
Chloe

Update #20: It's settled then.
Just a quick note to let you know that we have resolved our dispute with our printer. They ran off 5000 of these errata sheets today (and extended a generous discount that will be applied to the next issue) and should be shipping everything out tomorrow or Friday. That means they should arrive late next week. Some of you will look at the cover and shake your head at the travesty of print quality, some of you will shake your head and wonder what the fuck the big deal is. All of you will glory in the beauty to be found inside. Either way, we thank you for your patience and support!
Sincerely,
Chloe

Sean actually designed this handsome package which contains a reproduction of the original vinyl album, and also includes two CDs, an 11 page booklet, and two prints. These sets are still shrink wrapped and nearly mint condition except for the fact that the UPC code on the bottom side of the box has been exed out since these were comps. They're currently selling for $225-$250.
Pledge $230 or more
DISTRIBUTORS/STORES ONLY!!! We've decided to offer just 10 cartons (30 issues per carton) of Crap Hound #4 for wholesale accounts only at a 40% discount + shipping. It's very likely the cover price will go up on this issue as our printing bids are coming in a little higher than expected, so your 40% discount could turn into a 50% or higher discount as you're locked in at the $12 per issue rate! We'll also throw in 30 buttons and 30 stickers to give out to your customers and you'll get a thank you with a link to your site on our blog and Facebook page! This offer is only available for resellers (you'll be asked to provide some proof if it's not obvious), and only to those in the continental United States.
