Project Update: Get Your Illustrated Maxims Now!
Greetings Backers!
A quick update for you today!
TL;DR: Downloads of the illustrated maxims 1-48 are now available to anyone who has filled out their survey. Please fill out yours! If you haven't received one, you can Click Here and login using the email address you pledged with. Your next full status report will be the week of April 15-19.
Please fill out your survey!
Thank you to everyone who has filled out their survey. I'm still waiting on 240 surveys. Getting accurate counts of how many things are ordered is very helpful in placing orders. I'm already confident how many books we'll need, but still need to calculate for posters folded, posters rolled, and the pocket reference.
Pre-orders available
If you're getting this update because you're a follower and you'd like to become a backer, you can place a preorder now! https://70-maxims.backerkit.com/hosted_preorders If you have a friend who missed the project, they can still be part of it!
Seventy Maxims book sent to printer
I uploaded files to our book printer yesterday. I also mailed them a copy of the existing book so that they can match the reprint to what we had before. I expect at least two weeks of back-and-forth plus paper ordering before the printer can give me a timeline on when books will be done.
Maxim / Mandatory Failure combos in progress
I'm working my way through combining orders. I hope to have all of the combos I know about done by the end of this week. I'll also be sending out an email to people who requested combination but who don't seem to have Mandatory Failure order.
Illustrated Maxims now available!
The images for Maxims 1-48 as they were created for calendars are available for download to any backer who has filled out their survey. The system should send you an email with a download link, but if it doesn't you can just use the survey link from your email. Because of file sizes I had to create four downloads. It was fun to revisit these images. (Yes Howard would like to finish illustrating all 70 maxims, but he can't even think about doing that until he delivers on the Mandatory Failure project. )
Those are the updates for now. Your next full status report will be the week of April 15-19.
Thanks for backing our project!
