Update #5 · Apr 11, 2012 · 6 comments

Hey everyone! 

Thanks to all your efforts, we're now 23% over target! 

Just a reminder, there are now only 6 of the Custom Edition rewards left - we won't be increasing the limit after they're gone. 

Since last update, Li has quit her job to work on the project full time, and to focus on making Exocomics sustainable. 

We've started working on the books, selecting stocks and thinking about the internal layout of the pages. There's a lot of work ahead of us, but we're ready to work really hard to make them as awesome as possible. 

Also a quick note: If you've pledged for the digital rewards ($9 or $25), you don't need to add shipping to your pledge amount, because your rewards are downloadable. If you are in these tiers and have adjusted for shipping, you can un-adjust it if you like :)  Hopefully I've managed to contact all of you already; I don't want to miss anyone.  

I'll be updating again in a few days, see you then! 

- Li and Jordan
