☕ 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.

There are only 2 folks who need to fill out their surveys. Please remember, if you fail to fill out your survey before June 30, 2026 and pay any final shipping costs, you WILL NOT receive your rewards.

**NEW** FEBRUARY 15 - Art should be complete, and all items ordered
APRIL 2026 - All items (hopefully) received
APRIL 2026 - Remaining surveys charged for add-ons and shipping
MAY 2026 - Orders packaged and shipping begins
JUNE 30, 2026 - Project fully closed and rewards are no longer provided

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.

Thank you for being at the Cafe ☕
Jason & Carly K
