At long, long last the Regular and Deluxe hardcovers of Riyria Revelations have left the printer! They d are on their way to the shipyard. The boat will be fully loaded and setting sail on July 6th, and is scheduled to arrive in Baltimore on August 14th. It will take a few days to unload the ship, pass through customs, and then be shipped to us so I think we “might” have books as early as August 22nd.
Here is what’s coming
- 18 pallets of books with 640 cartons
- 10,240 books & 1,728 slipcases
- 6,496 deluxe editions & 3,744 regular editions
One of the things that I love about this particular printer is just how well they package up the books. Their cartons are extra thick, and inside is waterproof bags that the books sit in. The pallets are solid wood and strapped down tight such that nothing will shift during the journey an the whole pallet is wrapped in stretch wrap. If this shipment is the same as the others we recieved, when we open this container up again, nothing will have shifted at all.
In other news, I have some a separate shipment of books coming to me via FedEx so we can determine weights and the size of boxes to order for shipping. For those who aren’t familiar with this project, here’s the covers of the books:
And if you missed the Kickstarter, you can pre-order them from our online store.
It’s all very exciting.
