Some of you may have heard about this already.   There are only 2 days left to pledge through Kickstarter.  Of course, most titles will still be available on my website after this funds, but locking in now guarantees a copy of any book listed (and sets) and will be less expensive than buying them later (and paying postage).     

Here is the Kickstarter link:

hxxp: www.  kickstarter.  com/projects/466088503/9-in-nine-a-9-day-printing-and-bookbinding-odyssey


With your help, I will print and bind 900 books, consisting of 100 copies each of 9 titles.        Each title will be limited to 64 paperback copies, 26 signed hardcover copies and 10 signed hardcover copies to be housed in a custom clamshell case.       

To do this, I will take a 9 day vacation from my job and will work from before dawn to well after dusk every day to get the massive undertaking complete by the 9th day.     

All 900 books will be laser printed on high quality text paper.        The covers will be letterpress printed in several colors on Canson Mi-Teintes paper.        Each book will be between 28 and 32 pages and will measure about 4.      25" x 5.      5".        All copies will be pamphlet sewn and the hardcovers will be quarter bound in cloth over boards.       The books will contain poetry, short stories, and art.       

I need the funds to buy the paper, book board, and book cloth to make this project happen.         

Thank you for helping to fund this project and supporting the arts.     

Authors to be included in this series:

    Soheyl Dahi - Always Love Always War (poetry)
    Henry Denander (watercolors)
    Jack Hirschman (arcanes)
    Rebecca Schmujda - From Seed to Sin (poetry) w/art by Hosho McCreesh
    Scott Wannberg w/ foreword by S.      A.       Griffin (poetry)
    F.      N.       Wright (poetry)
    Joseph Ridgwell - The Tsanta Expedition (Short Story)
    Marvin Malone - Plains Poems (Poetry & Art)
    To Be Announced shortly

I have backed enough to get the full set of HB's. Anyone who isn't aware of the quality of bospress' books should dive in and get themselves some action- you won't be disappointed.
