I have a couple of questions and I totally understand if you don't have the answers yet. I was wondering if you have a more concrete release date yet and if you are going to limit the zines and/or bundles at all?
Hello! Thank you saying hi!
The release date is set for early March, but I do not have a set day yet. The reason for this is very simple — we want to put out the best possible product we can as quickly as we can, and this means taking time to layout the book with a thorough, in depth approval to a proof before we open the store. This will hopefully cut down on any errors in the books when we receive them, which means a shorter turnaround to you getting your copy!
If you want as close to a hard date as I’m comfortable giving, I will say plan for around March 1-5, and we will close the pre-orders three weeks after we open. We will take a two-week break to order everything and get it in stock, and then PDF sales will open for another three weeks.
Now, as for the quantities — books will be unlimited. We’re printing to demand, so not a problem there! The book itself is going to be printed on #100 stock for its cover and #80 for its pages to make it feel a bit more like an artbook than a magazine and is perfect bound.
Merch is also going to be unlimited and we’ll be selling a merch-only bundle should you want a PDF copy of the zine as opposed to a book! I know some people don’t have space for many books, but feel they miss out on the merch options since they’re bundled together most times, so we’re not limiting the merchandise that way.
For the record — the merchandise consists of two acrylic charms, an A6 sized sticker sheet, and four postcards by our merchandise artist, @kaelonial! They’re all super amazing if I may say so, and worth the splurge!
I hope this answers your questions! Thank you again for your interest and please keep following us here or on Twitter to keep up with announcements!
