@Stephen: glad you like your books! The clear plastic booth was not a joke but if you have a full sound studio you'd like to give us we'd be happy to start over.
Creator Stephen Jansen on March 16, 2012
Love my books! Thanks!
Please tell me that the picture of you recording vocals in a clear plastic booth was a joke - you'll never get any quality audio out of that!
Here's hoping that the real audiobook pieces are done in a better recording environment (and with a higher quality microphone!) - please?
Thanks again for the excellent concept!
Creator Diani&Devine on February 21, 2012
Thinking about Louis C.K. is never a bad thing, Michael.
Creator Michael Kaneko on February 21, 2012
I wish I could say that I finished reading your interpretation but I haven't quite had the time. I am enjoying it, as it has been a while since I've read this book, but I have to say how completely jarring it is to see "Robot" and have to translate that, again and again. I find it hard to get any kind of flow going when I'm reading and spend most of my time thinking about Louis C.K.. https://www.youtube.com/watch…
Creator Diani&Devine on January 9, 2012
If you're just checking out the project now the book is available at http://dianianddevine.com!
Creator Diani&Devine on December 23, 2011
@Michael Richmond: the ebook link was emailed out a few weeks ago. Check your spam filter or send us a private message through the Kickstarter system.
Creator Michael Richmond on December 22, 2011
My copy of the adventures of MechJim looks great.
Now that the books have shipped, will you be sending a download link for the ebook version to Cyborg Job Level backers?
Creator Diani&Devine on December 21, 2011

Wonderful, two books received, and we love them!!! Question... Are those of us who purchased physical copies of the book entitled to a PDF copy that we can read on our Kindles?
Creator Christian Skorik on December 17, 2011
Book looks great guys, waiting for my physical copy but I've been reading the PDF on my Kindle. Very polished, I'm really impressed!

I got my illustration as well, and super excited to get the book. I am glad to have been a (small) part of this, and great job to everyone!

Just got my illustration. Can't wait til I get the book :)
Creator Diani&Devine on October 19, 2011
@Stephen: We're very close but no dates yet. Still hoping for pre-Christmas delivery. Stay tuned...
Creator Stephen Jansen on October 16, 2011
Really looking forward to this! Are there any foreseeable delivery dates set yet? Will I be able to give these away as Christmas gifts this year (fingers crossed)? Thanks!
Creator Diani&Devine on July 13, 2011
@Jacob: scroll down the page until you see the "Diani & Devine" profile on the right hand side. You will see a link to "Send a Message." Click there to send us a private message with your new address and we'll make the change in our records. Thanks.
Creator Jacob Sarb on July 13, 2011
I have recently moved and filled out the survey before the move was even forseen. How do I go about updating my address so my book will come to me instead of to my old place?
Creator Jonathan Lynas on July 6, 2011
Super keen looking hardback D&D...can't wait to donate the first one to my local library!!
Creator Trevor Mouw on July 5, 2011
The mock up looks amazing! Now I wish I'd bought more copies! Great job.
Creator Shelly Dwyer on June 17, 2011
I am just so damn excited!! The illustrations are fab...the whole idea is so wonderful! Can't wait to get my copy.
Creator Diani&Devine on June 16, 2011
@Matthew Hall: From Kickstarter regarding the survey: "If that backer logs into the Kickstarter account they'll see a big banner at the top of their project directing them on where to fill it out." Hope that helps.
Creator Diani&Devine on May 29, 2011
Thanks for the recommendation, Frank!
Creator Frank Beissel on May 29, 2011
If you are still looking for a literary introduction, I would suggest Dr Anatoly Liberman from the University of minnesota. He is the funniest expert on word origins in the world. I would definately buy a print copy to read his intro.
Creator Diani&Devine on May 25, 2011
@Matthew Hall: Very excited you're excited about the book! We'll check with kickstarter about the survey link. Do you have any emails in your inbox that might have a link in it? You can also email us directly and tell us your address and we'll make a note next to your file.
Creator Matthew Hall on May 23, 2011
I can't find a link to the survey. As a university English instructor, I'm very excited to get my copy. what do I need to do to make sure I get my copy of the book when it prints? Thanks, and congrats.
Creator Diani&Devine on May 12, 2011
@Pat: The illustrator is still working on the illustrations (over 40!) and after that the designer will have to put it all together in a lovely package. After that it will need to be proofread before it goes to the printer, we'll need to review the galley copy for mistakes, and then print them up. We're hoping for a late summer/early fall launch for the book. Thanks for your patience. We're working hard to make a quality book for everyone.
Creator Pat Hughes on May 12, 2011
When are you expecting the books to ship?
Creator Diani&Devine on May 11, 2011
Yes, William! Send us an email through Kickstarter with your new address and we will make a note of it.
Creator William on May 1, 2011
is there any way to change my address after the survey i will be moving in a bit
Creator Chris Wyatt on April 18, 2011
@Diani&Devine - I still can't find anyway to get Kickstarter to complete my funding. What should I do. Can I send the money to you directly?
Creator Jón Kristján Kristinsson on March 30, 2011
I tried taking your survey yesterday, and apparently the site was having problems since when I pressed the "Submit info" button at the end of the survey, I got an Internal Error message.. Now the survey is gone. Can I assume you got my answer despite the Kickstarter Server problems?
And congrats on the $30k! :)
Creator Randy Padawer on March 26, 2011
Hi, I was trying to add another $5 for shipping as well. Went directly to Amazon Payments and tried to send more money to "Underoak Studios" but it needed an email address rather than the company name. I can also pay via PayPal if that would be convenient. Anyway, let me know how to get that additional payment over to you, and I'll do it posthaste! Thanks.
Creator Diani&Devine on March 26, 2011
Thanks for following up, Nathan. Unfortunately we know of no way to add money after the kickstarter collection period is closed. We will be adding a paypal account to our website in the near future and will let you know how and when you can add the $5 for shipping.
Creator Nathan Castle on March 26, 2011
Hi guys, how can I add $5 to my pledge for international shipping? I can't see an obvious way to alter the amount...
Thanks
Creator Brian Edwards on March 25, 2011
Wooo! Put my order request in. Can't wait.
Creator Diani&Devine on March 24, 2011
@Chris Wyatt: Try adding another credit card to your account. If that doesn't work let us know and we will ask Kickstarter for help!
