Wow – $40 KS + $25 POD + S/H for print. Pricey.
Yeah; I kinda want this, but it’s EXPENSIVE. =/
It’s a really big book
How are you planning to distribute the finished product? And any idea just how ‘really big’ the book will be? What dimensions, at least?
I guess the split between KS and POD will make it easier to hide from my wife…
It’ll be 8.5″x11″ format. In the past we’ve always underestimated our page counts, 80 became 124, 280 became 365 and finally 120 became 424. So I won’t hazard a guess just yet, because stretch goals will bloat it. But consider 30+ poems from the Poetic Edda and the main and beefy Prose Edda, alone that’s a lot of content. Then add copious artwork and a bunch of new sagas.
I have several of the previous kick starters from Andrew and his crew. While yes, they are pricey, without a doubt some of my best looking books. The art is beyond phenomenal.
