Hi Everyone!
Yesterday afternoon, in the final 48 hours of this campaign, y'all helped us push over the line for our final stretch goal! $400k, wow. That's humbling, to say the least. Thank you all so much!
So, with that stretch goal secured, we'll be able to upgrade the colored page edges on each of these books to be fully illustrated, with the art coming from Tom Jilesen! As we get that work commissioned from Tom, we'll be sure to post updates of that here for y'all to take a look at, stay tuned!
How do I Change my Pledge?
Now that we'll be getting illustrated page edges, we've seen a bunch of y'all ask about changing your pledges to upgrade to both books. First of all, thank you for that! Second, please review the links below for Kickstarter's guides on how to manage your pledge.

Issue With Mobile Pledging...
In our last update, we mentioned an issue about mobile pledging that Kickstarter was looking into. We're told that the problem has been fixed! If you encounter any further issues with this, please don't hesitate to send us an email at [email protected] and we'll see what we can do to help!

Hi there folks!
If you've already pledged successfully, you can disregard this update. This is only for folks who have not yet pledged.
We've gotten word from several of you this morning regarding an issue with the Kickstarter mobile app.
Currently, attempting to back this project via the mobile app will automatically assign incorrect shipping costs. When trying to complete your pledge you'll get an error message stating: "Validation Failed: Amount Sorry, please enter a pledge amount greater than or equal to [Dollar Value] to ship this reward to [Country Name]"
We've been able to replicate this on our end and have contacted Kickstarter Support for assistance. We'll post another update once this issue has been resolved.
We also want to mention that this issue does not appear to be impacting Kickstarter via web browser, so if you're encountering the problem above, try accessing it from your computer or mobile web browser.
Thank you all for your patience as we sort this out with Kickstarter! <3
$250k Stretch Goal Reached!

Hi everyone!
Shortly after we left for the weekend, y'all helped us cross the $250k stretch goal! Thanks so much! With that threshold passed, the dust jackets for each book will be printed on thicker, higher-quality paper. This has been a highly requested addition to our books, so we're excited to be able to add that to these gorgeous editions.
Next up, at $400k, each book will get custom-illustrated printed page edges rather than the current one-color page edge printing! Let's see how quickly we can get there!
Another stretch goal down and an incredible start to the campaign!

Holy smokes everyone!
After logging off for the day yesterday we had no idea what we'd come back to this morning, and we were nothing short of shocked at the turnout for these books!
At the end of the day yesterday, y'all helped us blow past the $150k stretch goal, securing our ability to continue this special line of books next year! Thank you so much!
Next up, at 250k, we'll be able to upgrade the paper on the dust jackets, ensuring— like the books and bookmarks— that they are more durable! Y'all already helped us get a good way there, let's see how quickly we can make it the rest of the way!

Hi everyone!
Y'all have made it a wild morning for us! In less than 3 hours, we have smashed through our funding goal as well as our first three stretch goals! The most recent of which is our $100k goal, which increases the interior paper thickness of each book! This upgrade will not only make the books more durable, but will give them a more premium feel!
Next up, reaching the $150k stretch goal will help us ensure that we can continue adding titles to this line of books, starting next year with 2 more SPFBO winners! Let's see how fast we can get there!
