☕ We submitted our order for the comics, and the softcovers are already on the way! The hardcovers are in production. We'll share a photo of EVERYTHING once the hardcovers are here.

As such, with everything almost here, we're locking addresses in the next couple days. You should have received an email about this, so if you need to update your address make sure to do that ASAP! Once shipping has begun for the physical editions, all digital editions will be distributed.

Also, if you're looking for more Cafe goodies, please check out Collectors Guild Cafe on Pin Pavilion. ☕

☕ We have had to revise our timeline for submitting the files for print. Our artist is 1/3 of the way done with the anthology pages, and working hard to finish them all. There are still 46 pages that need to be lined and colored, but we're ALMOST DONE, AAHHH! Thanks to pre-orders that have come in, we now get to produce over 200 copies of the book. THANK YOU! ☕

For anybody who missed pledging to the survey, you can pre-order your cafe books and goodies! Please check it out at the pre-order store. This will only be open until Jan. 31, 2026. I also just went in and made sure all pre-order folks are also getting the digital copy of the book.

The alpha books came in a while ago, but I wanted to show them off again! They turned out AMAZING, and there are only a couple of edits that need to happen for the final prints. We hope you like this preview! The entire book is printed in full color. The pages are glued AND sewn in. The covers are full color and have a matte soft touch finish. The pages are SUPER thick too. You're going to love these books!

Once again, THANK YOU SO MUCH for being part of the Cafe's first book! Please let us know if you have any questions. Our next update will be in about 4 weeks, hopefully about submitting the files for production.
