Project Update: Hardcover proofs are here!!!!
Hi All,
I tried to take pictures, but the holographic finish did not show up as nicely as it does in person. Instead I did a quick video. (You got to see the edge of bunn-zilla on my kitchen table)

I was going to close my backer kit preorder shop on December 1st, but I am only at 58% of the surveys done. I am pretty sure I can blame the holidays. :)
So I will leave them open for an extra week, then lock down the orders, and order the books!

BookVault and Sunset Rose Books did such a wonderful job. I am so excited.
What do you think?

Project Update: Update, Surveys under review, and Survival Guide!
Hi All,
Mission accomplished, the survey is submitted. Insert evil laughter here. Once approved, it will take no time to send them. Thanks for your patience..
I also got a response to my 'where's the book' inquiry. The sprayed edge machine was down, so they got backed up on those books.
On the bright side, the machine is up and they are in the process of catching up. The quote was, "All being well your order will be shipped next week or early the week after." Is it bad I am crossing my fingers?
Thanks for your support!

Project Update: Surveys? And timeline updates...
Hi all,
Noomi asked a question on the previous update about if she had missed the survey. (Thank you Noomi!)
The answer was no....
You have not missed the surveys. I kept delaying hoping that the proofs would come. They were supposed to get here last week but the vendor still shows 'printing'. (I have a friend who used the same vendor that said hers just showed up on her door step without the status updating. I have reached out to see what's going on.)
Regardless of if they show-up, I will see if I can get the surveys approved and sent anyway. (Backerkit has an approval process that I have not done before).
Based on the proofs taking a month, I also have been looking at a delay in timelines. Without having the proofs, I'm not comfortable ordering, and I was also going to use how long BookVault took to print and ship the proof as part of the estimate on whole project timelines. Right now it has been over a month since I ordered the proofs. :(
So best guess on timing:
Let say I get the proofs Monday Nov 18th and get the surveys approved and sent out by Monday as well.
Say it takes a week to get all the responses. (Nov 25th - Thanksgiving in the US)
And a month to get the books from the BookVault.
That brings us to the week of Christmas for the books to arrive at my home.
Unless you are inn the US and nearby, Holiday shipping means I wouldn't get the books to you in time for the Holidays. I have a shot at getting them by new years, but only if everything aligns. :( Boo!
So best guess is January to get the physical books in your hands.
Just so you know, as soon as the book get here, I will get the books shipped asap.
I am very sorry for the delay in communication. I just kept hoping the books would arrive which would kick off the whole process.
Thanks again to Noomi for asking the question.
All the best!
Claudia
