Grateful thanks
Dear Friend and All,
Thank you so very much for your dedicated support, encouraging words and generosity.
As you may have seen YOU raised a total of $ 11,870 and it will be contributing in a fundamental way to the printing, shipping ( from Hong Kong) and distributing ( which will cost roughly another 10, 000) -- while I just spent another 10, 000 for the scanning of the slides ( necessary to design the book). Incidentally, If you wish to realize the difficulty to make a photography book these days (unless one has a big name I suppose): a good friend made a book with one of the biggest name in the industry, that cost her above $100, 000...
(Some friends have missed the deadline and asked me how to get an advance copy : simply follow the pledges in Kickstarter and send a check to : Jean-Paul Bourdier, Architecture Department, 232 Wurster Hall, University of California, Berkeley, Berkeley California, 94720, USA).
Leap Into The Blue is now in the hands of the publisher and my initial design should be ready to be sent to the printer in September.
I will naturally keep you informed of the decisive moments in our progress.
Warmest and grateful thoughts
Jean-paul
