Final Shipping Waves imminent, release event 12/14 at Ghost Gallery, Capitol Hill, Seattle

Hello!
First of all, if you haven't received your rewards yet, my apologies. I had made arrangements for the remainder of rewards to be shipped by a colleague while I was traveling on business. However, my credit cards were compromised while abroad making it impossible for them to charge shipping costs and causing a delay for some of the remaining rewards. It was essentially a perfect storm of inconvenience. Thankfully, I am now back in Seattle and have sorted all of the issues out with my bank. Shipping will recommence next week in 1-2 more waves. Please accept my apologies for the delays if you haven't yet received your rewards. While the book will go up for sale in the Strix Publishing online shop this weekend to take advantage of holiday sales, backers will still have their copies of APOCRYPHA processed and shipped before new customers.
With that said, I'm pleased to announce that we will be having our release event in Seattle, this December 14th, at Ghost Gallery on Capitol Hill. Jason and I will be present to sign books and talk about the project. If you haven't yet received your rewards and would like to pick up your stuff on the 14th (or on December 3rd at our Black Owl Market event) PM me and I'll make arrangements and reimburse your shipping costs when you receive your rewards from us.
Thanks again for your patience and support, and if you're in the US, we hope you have a great Thanksgiving weekend.
Cheers!
APOCRYPHA has arrived!

As many of you have no doubt noticed, APOCRYPHA has arrived and shipping has begun!
As of this afternoon over 50% of rewards have shipped to backers and should start arriving in the next few days depending on your location. The remainder will ship in several waves over the coming weeks. If you have not yet filled out your survey, please do so here: https://apocrypha-the-art-of-jason-soles.backerkit.com/
If you'd like to pick up your copy locally and your rewards haven't shipped yet PM me and we'll make arrangements for a Seattle-area handoff.
As a final "thank you" I've created a special coupon just for Backers in the Strix Publishing webstore. Use code: THANKPOCRYPHA through 11/01 to enjoy 10% off all purchases. This is in addition to the current 15% Halloween sale on select items, including Unhallowed Metropolis, the gasmask-chic role-playing game of neo-Victorian horror, the brainchild of Jason Soles himself, and the newly released horror collection, Never Bet the Devil & Other Warnings, by Orrin Grey.
Thank you again for your tremendous support (and patience!), we're excited to get the book out to all of you.
Thanks again, and happy Halloween!
Quick update

Hello all, just a quick update to let you know we currently anticipate the delivery of the print run on 10/22 and for rewards shipping to begin shortly thereafter. With the other rewards produced, our shipping supplies here, and the books on the slow boat from China there is not too much else to say right now!
Pre-orders will end Friday 10/13, and your mailing addresses will be finalized in Backerkit on 10/15. Please take this opportunity to review your mailing addresses before that date and update if necessary.
As well, we're currently running a campaign for new alchemy pins expanding the symbol line successfully released earlier this summer. These new symbols should ship in early December, just in time for holiday gift giving.
The original set of pins from the first Great Work Kickstarter are available now. All orders through the Strix Publishing web shop are 10% off through the end of this campaign on October 10th as a "thank you" for your support!
Finally, while the books won't be here quite in time for the fest, I will have the advance copy of APOCRYPHA at the H.P. Lovecraft Film Festival in Portland, this coming weekend, 10/06-08 and will be happy to let you take a look in person.
That's all for now, thanks again and we hope to have your books and rewards on their way to you before the end of October!

Hello all, I hope you're all having a great summer!

As you can see, this is taking longer than we'd hoped. That said, I've worked with this printer before and expect no hiccups at this point. While the books are still en route, all of the sculpted rewards have been done for some time. I'd like to once more offer to send your sculpted rewards now, or offer in-person delivery at any of three upcoming events which will be attended by Strix Publishing.

Thanks again for your patience, I should have more news in just a couple of weeks!
