I know: It's a long time coming. I appreciate all the support, enthusiasm, and patience as I figured out what the hell I was doing. But it's here, it's gorgeous, it's pretty cheap, and you can buy it now.
Just visit shop.seanpatrickcain.com.
If you order before November 1st, you can get the book for $11.
Great question. Roughly half of that $11 will cover printing costs, shipping materials, & service fees. The other half will be split as follows:
Every purchase will contribute five digital community copies to the itch.io store.
I like this model a lot. I hope you do, too.
Yup.
My top priority: Getting you a beautiful book at a reasonable price. My second priority: Doing some good with your money. After that: Sure, let's do some stretch goals.
Back in the spring, I told folks I would be offering a print-on-demand version of the book & sell it at cost. After many headaches, I just couldn't find a print-on-demand offering that I found acceptable. Blurb got the closest -- the book looked beautiful -- but their customer service was a nightmare. So I decided to order a print run & handle it all myself.
A single Blurb book would cost you $10.23 for printing and at least $8.99 for shipping.
I'm selling copies for $11 + shipping ($3.50 for US). I think that's pretty fair. However, if you need/want to cut that price down, just send me a message (on here, Twitter, etc.). I'll provide you with a coupon code that removes my share of the profits from your purchase, but maintains the money that will go to fundraising and community efforts.
