It’s one thing to work on a book for years…and a whole other thing to hold it in your hands. It was amazing and overwhelming! We’re feeling so incredibly grateful to all the backers, reviewers, folks who signal boosted to help make this book real.
Since this is our first major project, we opted to get a proof even though this meant some delay in the print schedule. Thank you for your patience as we make sure the book is the absolute best it can be. Gabi and Sheika met up to go over the proof with a fine-toothed comb. They ended up getting the exact same cafe table as the one in this photo from the very first planning session!
The bookplate rewards are ready! You can barely tell from this photo but they’re so GLITTERY. Don’t worry, the glitter is embedded in the paper and won’t come off. Gabi signed them all during her visit. These will be pasted by hand into the book.
Gabi also finished drawing the sketch-plates! These little pieces of original art have archival adhesive backs and will be placed on the title page of the book. This was a very limited number of rewards during the kickstarter. We'll update if there are any spots left for those who missed it the first time around!
