Hey all! I just wanted to post a quick update (sorry for making it at 2am PST! LOL) to show you a quick video of what the collector's edition boxes look like!
SO SHINY!
They're on the way to me from the manufacturer now, then I can assemble them all myself and fill them with all the goodies to send out!! I'm really excited!!
I'm also starting to get word that people are receiving their books now and enjoying them!! Thank you so much for those who have let me know. I super appreciate it.
Just a quick reminder that 1989nk has an OFFICIAL PATREON for the production of chapter 2, please check it out! I already have some content there!
see you all in the next update and/or over on my patreon should you so choose to join the chapter 2 party!

Hey all! Just another quick update to say that I got the first batch of books packed up and ready to go to the post office.
I will be trying to ship out about 50 books per week starting tomorrow. So keep an eye out for your shipping notification! I'll be shipping by backer name in alphabetical order starting with the people who ordered books only, and working up by pledge tier level. I hope this makes sense.
general shipping time to USA is about 5-10 days, and international is 6-12 days. But I would ask that you please give shipping time at least 3-4 weeks before contacting me. If more than a month goes by since the shipping notice and the book doesnt arrive, I will ship a replacement asap. I am shipping from CANADA, so customs clearance MAY increase shipping time! I thank you in advance for your patience.
PS: more photos of the book were requested, so that will be in another update after this! I'll also be showing off more photos of the rewards and the collector's set once the boxes arrive, which should be soon now!
PPS:
If you'd like to to continue to support 1989nk as a project moving into chapter 2, I do have an official patreon for it where I have patreon only perks and sneak peeks of chapter 2. I'll have more info on the actual printing and production and funding of chapter 2 over there.
PLEASE check it out! The shipping process is the final part of my budget (and the most EXPENSIVE part), and while I definitely still have the means (i've kept the money saved!), afterwards I will be back at financial square one. So yes, I would absolutely adore any additional support you all would be willing to offer me so that I can keep this project going. If I can have patreon be the central funding base for this project, I may be able to print chapter 2 without running another funding campaign.
The drawing of chapter 2 is already underway! If I keep pace, chapter 2 should be out and ready for printing by the end of Fall this year.
Thanks everyone!!

I forgot to actually show you all what the books look like!!
The quality is amazing. The cover is a silk matte, so its really smooth to the touch - and the printing quality is incredible!! I am really happy and I hope all of you will be as well!
I hope you all enjoyed this double update in one day!
