Progress 8
Hey backers!
Hope you're all well.
We sent the books off to the printers this week and spent a long time checking proofs that they sent back and making last minute adjustments. Next week they will be printing the books for real! For REAL!
I've been told that printing, binding, and foiling will take about two weeks. I know that the estimated delivery date for the books is July but it looks like it will most likely be early August for most of you. I'm really sorry about the delay, but we wanted to take the time to make sure the books are as good as they can be, and also once the books are printed it's going to take a while to wrap and send them all.
That's about it for now. I'll update you guys with photos as soon as the books come back from the printers :D
(Below is a photo of some of the proofs, the paper hasn't been cut, they won't really be that size)

@Liz: I think the only thing Li asked for was how people wanted their names written for the Thank You pages. Otherwise it would say something over on the right, by the option you selected, about a date you filled out the survey.

So excited!
I have a question: have we given you our addresses yet? Because if so, mine has changed! How do I fix it? Or can I ignore it because you haven't even asked?
