A 500+ page sci-fi hardcover by Iván Brandon & Nic Klein—rebuilt as a single designed object. Pledge early to be printed in the book.
I have the world's very first copy of Drifter Lux (I think? Maybe the printer built an igloo out of a hidden cache).
I knew it was gonna be pretty, but it's a hell of a thing to hold in your hands.
I don't seem to be able to upload videos here, so:
Hi there- you should have your survey by now, but if there's an issue of any kind, please reach out to [email protected]. We're still adjusting a couple things, but please let us know if you see something we miss.
ALSO: if you used Apple to sign in with "hide my email" you unfortunately will have to contact us to change it, as those temp emails can only receive mail from wherever you initially signed in (in this case, Kickstarter) . So backerkit emails will (and probably already have) bounced. If you send us a private message here, or contact us at the email above, we can update your email and send out your surveys.
Here's another teaser of the Lux book which will hopefully be approved in the next week.
If you got your surveys you may have noticed the shipping was high on a couple countries, there was an error in setup and we adjusted it.
We're hearing some dismay over INTL shipping costs and want to make it clear this is almost a 4 KG, 8 lb shipment and thus even with the heavily discounted options we found for european fulfillment, there is no cheap way to ship a book this big.
For what it's worth, the price to ship them from the US would have probably caused permanent trauma, which is why we haven't shared it. But for the EU nations the final price is MUCH cheaper. For the UK, we had to settle for a 25% discount as we're shipping from Germany. (And from Asia to Germany before that)
We don't like these costs any more than you do, it's just the nature of modern shipping. Some of you may find some cool stuff in your box to offset the pain of higher costs.
Tomorrow Backerkit will start a limited "smoke test" so some of you will get your surveys and be able to finalize your order. Once we're sure we haven't made 1000 mistakes on the test run, the rest of the surveys will go out and we can finally get this show on the road.
In the meantime, if you're one of the many people who've been asking for our preorder store, we've added it on the main page and you can find it here.
Youse (I'm bringing youse back) are exceptional humans, every one of you. Thank you.
we're still finalizing the surveys (I swear we're very very close) but just so you can see PHYSICAL PAPER
Here's a sneaky peek at the Lux case and its die cut cover. Keep in mind these are mockups, not 100% print quality, they're just to make sure everything lines up, but I think they're pretty exciting.
Next update: SURVEYS AND STORE OPENING.
