Thank you for the update Paul! Wicked excited and I like the surprise factor as well. But glad you teased just a little
Where did July go!? And this year is also rushing by fast!
I wanted to give you an update on the project. About half of the books have been completed. The bookbinder tells me he is working nights to get them done. Each book is being individually rebound by hand and it's not something that can be rushed. He's going to be traveling for part of August, so we're looking at about 4 weeks for the rest to be completed. We're running a little behind schedule but making good progress, and it will be worth the wait.
Thank you all for your patience.
Thanks for the update Paul! Are you shipping all at once OR as you get them in hand?

"A real limited edition, far from being an expensive autograph stapled to a novel, is a treasure. And like all treasures do, it transforms the responsible owner into a caretaker, and being a caretaker of something as fragile and easily destroyed as ideas and images is not a bad thing but a good one...and so is the re-evaluation of what books are and what they do that necessarily follows." - Stephen King
Thanks for the update Paul. Very much worth the wait!

If you do, I'll be sure to have a six pack of beer ready for you.
I gotta get on here more. Totally missed the update. Oh man, this is going to look fantastic! Thanks to you and Mr. Bookbinder for all the hard work Paul.
Hey Paul,
Any monthly update on this one?
Thanks Lori...
Josh yes, been planning to update at the end of the month. The bookbinder has been away most of August as I'd mentioned so he has been unable to finish off the rest of the books this month, but he will be back Thursday this week. He tells me he's 75% done.
I took longer to give him the green light because I went through two sample stages to refine the work which I hadn't considered up front, but I felt it was necessary. I wanted to make sure it looked good before he made them all. That whole process took time.
We're getting there and I don't feel it will be much longer. Thanks for everyone's patience. It's a big project with each book being bound by hand. There's also the hand marbled endpapers that had to get done, the slipcases and of course the rebinding of the book.
I've already started ordering in the packaging materials to ship the books so I'm prepared for when they arrive.
As soon as I have another update I'll let you know.
Again, thanks for your patience! We're close now.
Thanks Paul!!!
Thanks Paul! The excitement on this one is killing me!!!
Update from the binder:
"I'm hoping to have them all finished in the next week or two."
Didn't think I'd see the day....... well, I did... it was just a long time in coming...
That is the shipping notice for the books!
Spoiler:
Yes!!!!!!! I can't wait to see mine!
