Earlier this month, after finalizing the main print book for The Harbinger’s Path, I was contemplating whether it was possible to put together a “bonus booklet” with some extra material I ran out of space for in the main print volume.

I thought it was a low possibility, because ~1 month before the convention was a little too close scheduling-wise for my taste. However, thanks to fellow artists also tabling at Manga Ichiba later this month, I learned about a new printing company, MCE Printing. Like my main printer I used for the The Harbinger’s Path (Fireball Printing, located in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania), MCE is also a domestic, NA-based print shop.

MCE prints from Kirkland, Washington, and they have a specific focus on NA-made doujinshi! How cool is that! 

To my amazement, they were able to both print and ship my “bonus booklets” in record time. Even better, I am so pleased with their print quality. Thank you so much again to Mike for shipping my booklets out in record time, and with such beautiful print quality! I am beyond pleased with their print quality, especially as this was the first time printing with them, and there wasn’t time for me to check a physical proof before having them printed. 

Above are two preview photos! 

More photos (including the front cover) + info added to the full post for the interest-check group from earlier this month! (Scroll down to the new “Bonus Booklet” section.) 

Booklet Specs

• Original black & white version of The Harbinger’s Path: Chapter 1, plus “even more extras!”
  • Extras include additional bonus art I wanted to add to the main print book, but ran out of space more due to page count. 
• Book Dimensions: 5.5 x 8.5 inches (slightly taller and skinnier than A5). 
  • Same as The Harbinger’s Path main print book. 
• Page Count: 36 pages + Covers (16 comic pages, centerfold artwork, front/back/interior covers, front/back matter, and bonus art)
• Binding: Professionally Saddlebound (high-quality saddle-stitching – I love how the thickness of the covers turned out!)
