I apologize for the delay in providing this update, which should have reached you weeks ago. For those who may be unfamiliar with me, I'm a graphic designer, entrepreneur, and collector, managing my company single-handedly. I do everything from graphic creation to conceptualizing projects such as these books, as well as the sourcing of antiques, and the logistics of shipping.

When I initially launched these three books, I never anticipated the overwhelming response and workload associated with hunting for antiques and selling them, as well as my other projects like the letterpress calendar. However, I'm pleased to announce that I've now stabilized the situation and can fully focus on developing the books. The (very) good news is that I've unearthed a treasure trove of photos, catalogs, and typographical gems that will enrich the content of the books. Over the past few weeks, I've meticulously scanned hundreds of images to incorporate into the project.

The Backerkit Surveys are now finalized and ready to be dispatched. Following this update, you can expect to receive a request for your address information shortly. While the books won't be ready until summer, as previously indicated during the campaign, completing this step will finalize your pre-order. Rest assured, addresses can still be modified until the final moment before shipping. IMPORTANT : the email will come from Backerkit, not Kickstarter and will look like this:

For those who ordered the first collection of books, they'll be shipped with the new collection, unless you opt for separate shipping by covering additional costs.

I want to highlight an important aspect regarding shipping costs. The charges quoted during the campaign are for standard shipping without tracking. If you prefer your books to be shipped with tracking, you'll need to cover the additional charges based on the quantity of books ordered. Did these icons to help you to determine the corresponding charges for tracking? Don't add anything if normal shipping is ok for you. 

Should you have any inquiries or uncertainties regarding your order, please don't hesitate to reach out via email at [email protected].

Once again, I extend my sincere gratitude for your patience and unwavering support. Subsequent updates will feature more visual content as the book's development progresses.

I want to express my heartfelt gratitude for your support of this project. Bringing an idea to life is truly my passion, and your support has made it all the more meaningful. I also want to extend my thanks to those who have shared the project, as your enthusiasm and love for these incredible creations from the past have been truly inspiring.

I am committed to keeping you updated on the progress of the books as frequently as possible. If you're not already following me on Instagram, I highly recommend checking out my profile as it's the best way to stay in the loop. Additionally, you can subscribe to my newsletter for updates.

Looking ahead, we have a brief waiting period of two weeks before the next steps unfold. Kickstarter requires this time to arrange the transfer of funds. During this period, I will be working on Backerkit, the management platform that will benefit both you and me.

Backerkit offers a range of conveniences, including the ability to:

  1. Add items that you may have missed during the campaign.
  2. Enter a temporary shipping address as needed.
  3. Resolve any payment issues that may have arisen during the Kickstarter campaign.

I cannot thank you enough for your continued support, and I am excited to embark on this journey together.

Fabien
