I wondering about the kickstarter shipping philosopy. Brandon is primarily a author. Why then should fans wanting the book have to wait for everybody who wants the trinketry and glass beads? According to the updates the books have been waiting on the shelves for months. First the customers who want the book have to wait for the non essentials, and then they are put last in the shipping queue. I love leatherbound books, but many hate it do to vegetarian-ESG even if its gonna last a century. At the same time they love trinkets which will find the bin in a few years. Its amazes me.
