Ready to print!
9 days ago – Wed, Apr 22, 2026 at 09:23:37 AM

Hi all! Thank you all SO much for your patience with this project! I have just recieved the final image from Tom, and today I have finished the whole inside designs of the book and its ready to send to print! I have been waiting a while to get most surveys in so that everyone who paid to have their names in the book, would be in the book. I cannot wait any longer though as theres a lot of people waiting on this book! I have now set the orders to lock on Backerkit- meaning you all have 48 hours to make your final changes, then cards will be charged straight after :) If you havent done your survey by this time, it will be too late if you needed your name in the book as it will have been sent to print. 

Thank you for your support in my work & this project, and again, I am so sorry for all of the delays this time around, theres been a lot of factors this time. :)

Book printing and orders.

Hi everyone! Lil update, thank you once again for everyone’s support and patience. I would like to apologise for the wait time on the books you have all been waiting for. They will be going to print next week!! The delay was caused by myself as unfortunately there have been life complications whilst trying to get the last illustrations finished. But the finish line has been crossed, the books are going to print next week and within the next month they will be with us and ready to send out to you all! This project has been a first for myself and I greatly appreciate everything you have all done for this project and the patience you are showing!!

surveys!
about 1 month ago – Wed, Apr 01, 2026 at 03:00:08 AM

Hi all! I am still waiting on some people answering the survey, I cant order the books until this is done, if you havent yet, please get this done ASAP. 

I will be doing one more sweep of peoples surveys this week to see if all the postage is correct, but its looking correct so far! if you have a price you think is wrong please let me know so i can go in and check it one by one and see if it's correct. The higher tiers will have higher postage due to the parcel being 4KG :) but again, I will be double checking this week! 

I have one more illustration to finish and the books will then be sent to print! As the campaign reached such a great number I decided to add some special add in illustrations for you guys! <3

Shipping on backerkit fixed (?)
2 months ago – Wed, Feb 25, 2026 at 03:46:39 PM

Okay so; it appears that for some orders such as the name in the acknowledgements section it was charging for the hardback book weight but for some reason it added the same weight for the name in the acknowledgement (even though this is obviously in the book and not a separate book!) should be all fixed for those pledges now! I’m still working away at going through everyone’s orders and making sure it’s assigned the correct shipping, but I have double checked the weights and all seems fixed there. Let me know if your shipping still looks insanely high please :) 🙏 

The shipping weights to the USA do include the import fees etc which is why they’re set higher than previous campaigns, books used to be free to ship without fees- but that all changed recently :( but it should be £28 for express tracked delivery to the USA from the US including import fees and the protective packaging. Sadly I can’t change that too much at the minute unless I can find a cheaper way to send them, but I’d always vote for the most reliable speedy service so your books don’t get damaged :)
