The World of Warcraft Diary: 2nd Printing

Hey all! Great news, the books are officially at customs and should be on their way to us any day!

We had to source some of the rewards from different suppliers so there might be a slight delay with some of the rewards showing up at different times, but they're on their way too!

As soon as the books get in we'll have John come sign everything and can start shipping the rewards we have everything for!

I'll keep y'all posted once they're in the warehouse and send pics!

Thank you again for your patience and support!

Hey folks!

WoW Diary is still on its way! When I thought to myself it should be here by now and went digging into it today I found out that there were some massive delays at the port the books were shipping out of. AND no one thought to tell me about it. So, when I said they were shipping I was wrong and I am so so sorry. It was never my intention to mislead anyone but I was told they were on the water by my contact and that was false, they were at the port and have been stuck there up until about a week ago.

This doesn't impact the timeline too terribly because we were going to have to wait on the slipcases and deskmats which were always going to come in after the books anyway. Now they'll all arrive around the same time for fulfillment.

All of that being said I'm certain y'all are not thrilled by this so next week I'm going to get in touch with the logistics companies and get Container #'s/Tracking #'s on everything and pass them along to y'all so you can follow along with their transit.

That's all for right now, but you can definitely expect another update from me next week and many more between then and the books arriving to you. 

Thank you so much for your patience with us.

All the best,
Nolan

Hey all! I got my wires crossed with the last update, that's entirely on me for misreading the timelines laid out. My understanding was the factory was done last month but they were just getting started.
Here is where we're at:

What is finished:
Quoting with factory
Quoting of special metal bookplates with other factories
Book design and pre-press for hardcover and softcover versions, Slipcase design and pre-press
Bonus post-mortem book design and pre-press
Extensive revisions and proofing
Production on all books nearing completion

What needs to be done:
Bookplates will be hand-signed and adhered
Digital rewards need to be sent out
Campaign Fulfillment

It's looking like everything will arrive in mid/late October and we'll begin fulfillment right away! I'll work with John on distributing the digital rewards asap!
 

Hey all! 

Wanted to give you a quick heads-up, in 24 hours we'll be locking addresses and charging cards for shipping because we're heading to print!

Make sure your address is correct and if you have any issues after that just reach out and we can get y'all taken care of!

Thank you all so much for your patience and support! 

Hey all!

I wanted to give y'all a quick update on our timeline. We're running a bit behind but everything is starting to come together!

Where we're at:
We're in the proofing process with the printer, we've submitted files and just waiting to make sure everything is copacetic before we pull the trigger. With paper prices fluctuating so much it's taken a little bit longer to nail down the right manufacturer, but we have now and we're moving forward.

What we're waiting on:
We still need to finalize the layout for the slipcase and signature plates.
I'm still scoping printers for the deskmat. I have one ready to go, but I wanted to get a few more options before firing that off as well. Luckily they'll print and ship much faster than the books so it won't affect the overall timeline.

Once the proofing is done and the layout for the slipcase is finished we'll be golden to get this into print and fulfilled!

The new timeline:
July 21st Layout Finalized
July 28th Proofing finished
August 1st everything is in production
September 1st-15th will be the new fulfillment date!

I'll be checking back in regularly and will update y'all if anything changes but we're nearing that point now where everything starts falling into place!

We'll be hitting the comments here soon, and catching up on support emails. So, if you've got a question outstanding feel free to drop it here or bump the email thread. We'll make sure y'all are taken care of. 

Thank you all so much for your patience with us on this while we get this book produced!
