Hi,
The postage was showing incorrectly in Backerkit.
I just investigated - both The Curse of Cthulhu books were showing the numbers as if the weight was in pounds and ounces, but it's in kilograms and grams. I've now corrected this and the postage is showing correctly.
I should have spotted this - my bad.
Speak soon and stay safe,

Want Your Image in the Book?

Hi,
I hope you're well.
A short while ago someone mentioned they'd have liked the opportunity of having their image in the book as one of the cultists (similar to what we did for Innsmouth:The Stolen Child), so, as I put the Backerkit pledge manager together, I wanted to put it to you and get your feedback.
Price would be £100 if just 1 person in the full-page image, or £50 if there were multiple people in the image - how does that sound?
Please let me know if you'd be interested in something like this by replying to this update.

Hi,
I hope you're well.
A quick update to let you know I'm still waiting to send out the surveys due to postage costs. I'd much rather have a delivery date for the books before I send the survey.
Apart from that, I'm still sorting out the full page images.
All still on time for the May 2026 delivery.

Hi,
I hope you're well.
Just wanted to hop on and say thank you for supporting the campaign - it's very much appreciated.
Whilst I wait for the money to reach me, I'm setting up the Backerkit pledge manager, and sorting out the finer details of the book innards.
I'll let you know when the pledge manager is live!
Until then, I hope you're enjoying the holiday season!
Speak soon and stay safe,
Simon
