An update for the second edition group! <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\n

Short update today – <\/span>the books are now being printed! <\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

If you contacted me about which cover variant you preferred,<\/strong><\/span> I should have replied back to everyone and confirmed your preferences last week! If you sent me a message and haven’t heard back, please reply to this email letting me know. <\/span><\/p>\n

If you didn’t let me know your preferences,<\/strong><\/span> you will receive the Matte Laminate cover, which I think you will be equally pleased by! <\/span><\/p>\n

This rest of this email covers info about<\/span> printing<\/strong><\/span>, a <\/span>shipping update,<\/strong><\/span> and a<\/span> note about <\/span>customizations <\/strong>for orders with signed books <\/strong>and\/or postcard thank-you notes. <\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Printing Time + Shipping Update <\/span><\/h2>\n

I approved both books for their full printing today! Below is info about the printing time for both books. <\/span><\/p>\n

Printing Time: Main Book<\/span><\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

My printer for the main book takes 14 business days to print this full order. They will be printing both the Matte Laminate and Rainbow Holographic Laminate variants for the main books! <\/span><\/p>\n

Because they only work on business days, this means both weekends and holidays – such as next Friday’s holiday in the US – are not included as part of these 14 days. I realized I didn’t factor in holidays for my shipping estimates! <\/span><\/p>\n

Additionally, because of the successful Rainbow Holographic cover test and gathering everyone’s cover preferences, this added an additional week to my original shipping estimate. <\/span><\/p>\n

The updated <\/span>shipping estimate for the main books is the second half of July 2026,<\/strong><\/span> with <\/span>delivery to you still expected between July and August 2026. <\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

But <\/span>I suggest expecting them more toward August,<\/strong><\/span> to factor in shipping times to further locations. I will send you an email with tracking info once I ship your order! <\/span><\/p>\n

Printing Time: Bonus Booklet <\/span><\/h3>\n
\"\"<\/a>
Bonus Booklet: Front Cover<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

My printer for the bonus booklet is also expected to send me their books at roughly the same time as the books for the main order. This means the shipping estimate for the bonus booklets is the same as the main books! <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Postcards & Book Customizations <\/span><\/h2>\n

As both books are being printed, I’ll begin assembling parts of the packages I can do ahead of the books’ arrivals. This should help with shipping to you as soon as I can, after receiving them from my printers in July! <\/span><\/p>\n

If you selected any customizations<\/strong><\/span> – such as a signed book or postcard thank-you note – I’ll contact you during the next few weeks asking if you have any preferences for your order. <\/span><\/p>\n
