Project Update: Update: Trade Hardcover Has Arrived In The Warehouse & Personalizations
Hey Everyone,
The printer sure took their time -- I approved proofs way back on February 5th, if I recall -- but I received two editions of The Preferred Dark Thorn in the warehouse this last week. I received the trade hardcover, as well as about 250 trade paperback copies that I also had produced.
What does this mean? First, the "bad" news: the Signed & Numbered, Signed and Lettered, and Rare editions of The Preferred Dark Thorn are not done yet. Their elements have been printed, and those materials were shipped to the bindery who then puts the book together. This is something the printer can't do up to my standards, so I use a bindery to add the bells & whistles. In short, I'm still waiting on those editions to arrive in the warehouse. I'd imagine they might be finished by the end of July though. Fingers crossed on that.
The "good" news: I will start shipping orders that only have the trade hardcover of The Preferred Dark Thorn. This will help when the special editions arrive as I will be able to just jump in and begin shipping them out.
If you are one of those people who only ordered the trade hardcover, I need you to look at this:
1. Mailing Address: If you have moved, this is your chance to change it. I imported orders yesterday into my shipping software, so whatever address is locked on your Backerkit order right now is the one I'm shipping to. Send updates to [email protected].
2. Personalizations: In one of the updates, I offered everyone personalizations. If you want me to personalize your trade hardcover copy, do send me an email at [email protected] with the name on the order and the personalization that you are requesting and I'll make that happen.
I'll be sure to share an update when the Signed & Numbered, Signed & Lettered, and Rare editions get the warehouse.
And as always, thanks for your patience!
With Magic,
Shawn Speakman
