image I asked the printer how much it costs to add a slipcase to the book — I need about €3500. Unfortunately, that doesn't fit within my budget, and I feel uncomfortable asking for more funding or adding more rewards / tiers to the campaign. I'm already amazed how many of you pre-ordered a book and how patient you've been while I (try to) finish it. Your support allows me to produce the book — the money raised from pre-orders covers most of the production and printing costs. To stretch the budget I can, however, try to sell more books before it goes into production. More pre-orders means a bigger budget. That's why I added the slipcase as a stretch goal to the @Geyser campaign. I don't know if (or how) we'll reach the stretch-goal. Raising an extra €3500 feels like a stretch (pun intended) but I want to give it a shot. Nothing will change to existing pre-orders if we don't reach the goal, but if we do, all pre-orders will come with custom printed slipcase! Finally, I overhauled the campaign page. The book has changed a lot and some information was no longer up to date. Should be all good to go now! Have a look 👇 Also, sharing = 💜🫂🤙
Thinking about setting up a Kickstarter campaign to reach some stretch-goals (slipcase, hardcover edition, screen print on open spine and the edges of the paper) and to possibly reach a wider audience.
Custom slipcase for The NoGood Book. Currently way out of budget 😢 But I'll find a way to make it happen – I NEED IT! image 👇 You can help make it happen by pre-ordering a book on @Geyser 🙏
Updated cover ✨ image
Mockup of The NoGood Book's exposed spine. Swiss-bound and, if the budget allows, printed on the edges of the signatures 🤞 The block numbers timestamp the first NoGood illustration, and the last one to make it into the book (for now they're placeholders). image

Just got permission from Mike Masnick to add two chapters from his essay 'Protocols, Not Platforms' to the Context section of The NoGood Book, completing the line-up! 🥳 image
