Updates on the WRD Book project
Apr. 6th, 2011 08:52 amAll right people, time for some interesting news. Well, news that I find interesting, at least.
So, I've gone over the material again, and gone over the pricing, and everything else.
Looking it all over, it looks like there's two good bits of news:
1- If I keep at it on the same schedule, I should have the book for the Windrow-Ravenswood Deck finished in late July or early August. It'd have all the original divinations for the cards, the pseudo-history of the deck, a specialized method for using the cards as a fortune-telling tool, and at least a solitaire variation. Also a (text only) guide to the Lost Arcana. It'd be in perfect-bound format, and weigh in around 180-200 pages (roughly).
2- That's close enough datewise that I could go ahead and set up a preorder page for interested folks. Prices for preorders would indeed be less than final retail (probably 14.95 as opposed to 16.95. that depends on whether I'm able to bulk-order stuff or not) and once again, we'd be looking at separate shipping rates between domestic and international orders.
Factor #2 depends entirely on interest, though- so, folks, let me know on here, on twitter, on wherever- is this something you'd be preordering right away if the page went up for it? Is it something you'd preorder anytime before, say, mid july? Comments count here folks, because setting this up takes time and careful planning on my end, so if I'm going to do it, I want to make sure there's enough interest that the project doesn't shoot itself in the foot. So, comments?

Quick update on the WRD book information.
Apr. 6th, 2011 01:36 pmOk, that was waaaay faster a response than I'd expected. That said, I'll be cobbling together a preorder page in the next couple of days, once I finish the mock-up cover and a few other projects. If you're desperate to get your preorder in for the book in the meantime, you can always just send it directly through paypal to dmitri (at) tormentedartifacts.com
Here's what the price rates for preorders (note, retail price will be different) look like.
Domestic- 14.95 per copy, plus 2.95 for shipping (.75 cents added for each copy ordered after the first.)
International- 14.95 per book, plus 6.95 for shipping. (same additional increment per book after the first)
