Update #65: Did you receive your copy of COCKY THE FOX?
We mailed them out in early June, to everyone who earned a copy by pledging $25 or more. By now, even our backers in far-flung parts of the world should have received their copy — so please let us know if you haven't.
We'd like to congratulate RICK PINCHERA for being the first (as far as we know) to read the book in its printed form. For those of you who didn't read COCKY online, please drop us a note once you read it, let us know what you think — we'd love to hear from you.
Finally, a note to the six backers who pledged $250 or more. Kristin Parker told us a while back that she'd personally mail or deliver the limited-edition prints/poems we owe you. We're guessing you've received them by now, or else that you will receive them very soon. Let us know what you think of the print/poem, OK?
Hope you're enjoying the summer,
MATT AND JOSH, editors of HILOBROW
Update #64: Books — mailed!
All backers' books are in the mail now, except for the ones we're going to hand-deliver to local friends. (That means you David and Kristine, Tom, Brian, Mandy, Nancy and Rick, Tor, Kevin, Himal, and Peggy.) Prints by Kristin Parker to follow shortly for those who pledged $250 or more...
Update #63: Hot off the presses!
After a few delays (printer problems) we've got the limited-edition run of COCKY THE FOX in our possession at last, and this weekend we'll mail copies to those backers who earned 'em! The only prize that we haven't yet sorted out is the limited-edition print & poem — a handful of backers chose that one, and we'll get it done as soon as possible...
We recently sent out requests for your updated address info — if you haven't provided us with that yet, please do so now! Unless you're a local friend, in which case there is no need.
PS: HiLobrow's next serialized novel project, by Karinne Keithley Syers, began today. Each installment includes original artwork by Rascal Jace Smith and a ukulele song by Karinne.
Update #62: COCKY THE FOX copies
The limited-edition book should be printed by Friday. Hopefully this weekend or ealy next week the editors of HiLobrow will find time to get together with James and Kristin Parker (plus Susan Roe, who has supported the project in critical ways), to mail 'em out!
In the meantime, please consider supporting HiLobrow's next serialized novel project, Karinne Keithley Syers's hollow-earth novel (with ukukele songs) LINDA. It's 63% funded with 13 days to go — please spread the word!
