I'd like to thank everyone who backed this campaign and outline the path forward. I've already reached out to the artists and over the next week will be compiling a list of the art I'll be needing based on the current layout. While we didn't hit the two high-level stretch goals, I've had a couple of backers reach out to me asking about the sewn binding, in particular. We're *close* to the initial 10,000 stretch goal. Let me figure out the art budget and exact printing costs based on the number of copies I'll be ordering, and I'm going to see if I can't squeeze in one or the other stretch goals; I'll likely be doing the sewn binding rather than ribbon bookmark, just because I think the sewn binding makes a huge difference in quality and durability.

Again, thanks everyone for backing. I'll be updating periodically with progress reports and posting art as it comes in.
