Message 2 Proof is in! · 8:55pm Feb 4th, 2020
Hey pones, there's something awesome I'd like to share: the message books are in!
And the back
And the thiccness of this boi
After an examination of the printing, it has passed my quality inspection and the full print run will soon begin! What this means is that I'm going to place the full order on Monday the 10th. Anyone who didn't get in on the campaign when it was first running has until then to grab a copy before the order is placed. If you haven't got your hands on book 1 or 2, you can order either or both right here: https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/message-in-a-bottle-act-2-print#/
After the 10th, it's possible I'll have some funds left over I can use to make the print run larger, but once I run out of extra books, they're gone for good. So if you didn't grab one before, now's your chance!
How many pages are there?
Looks Mightt good.
The thiccness picture doesn't have a reference object, like a ruler, that can show just how thick the book is otherwise it can be any size.

670 pages.
Very nice. Looking forward to adding this to its companion.
Neat! Glad you can make a book out of that brilliant work.
That book is THIC
What a beautiful sight.
The light colour tones work well.
Really hits you when you realise you've read two of those fat books. Really didn't feel like it was that long. After a while it worked it's way into my daily routine and I'm kinda sad it's over now. Luckily the rest of your stories are great as well and I hope you make it as a 'real' writer soon.
That Secret Jackie tag though. Secret Jackie sounds like the title of a minific or something. :P
When you posted about doing a second printing, I thought it was another run of the original Message in a Bottle. I didn't realise this is a sequel. Once I realized it was a sequel. I signed up to get a copy # 148.
Thanks for reposting the info so mY absent minded self has a chance to grab a copy.
Am I correct, assuming that I create an IndieGoGo account, that I can select 'Get Both Books (Autographed)?' The 'Get Both Books (Autographed)' option states '31 claimed,' but 'Autographed Hardcover' states '82 out of 100 claimed.' Is this to say that the 'Get Both Books (Autographed)' option is unavailable, or that the 'Autographed Hardcover' option is merely limited? The second suggestion seems goofy, because the first is also autographed and hardcover. The estimated shipping states 'February 2020,' but the blog post says you'll be ordering the printing to begin on the 10th. Is the printing expected to be incredibly fast?
Sorry for the question swarm; this passed week has been a little crazy and has left me feeling muddled

Let me go through these as quickly as possible...
1. If the options are still up on indiegogo, they're still available. I'll remove them the instant they can't be obtained anymore. I limited the number of autographs for my sanity, but I will not limit the number of book sets. The campaign has raised enough funds for me to order some extra copies to keep in reserve, but I will eventually remove the autograph options.
2. The original shipping estimate was given before Indiegogo delayed my funds by a month. The printing will be incredibly fast, but Indiegogo have made the whole campaign run a little behind. It's quite likely many US readers will get their books before the month of February is over, or March at the latest. (as well as the international orders, those will be in march too). More information about that is in the indiegogo's updates.
I am excite, can't wait! 📖

Woah, the London guys are bloody on top of international shipping this year. I don't even have the US books yet.
Greetings from the UK,

Thanks very much
It was a one time run.... damn. Anyone looking to sell their old copies of both volumes?

Thanks to the Fine Print hardcover I'm doing right now, I'm getting all the old books printed too. If you're interested in buying a copy of either of the message books, PM me.
Are you selling any of your hardcover books anywhere?

I will be very soon!
I ran out of books so stopped selling those, but soon I will have a campaign to print a Friendship is Optimal Anthology. When I print one book, I can have the printer make me some of the old books too. That will include everything I've previously published. Just keep an eye on my blog, it should start this month.
