News from the Kickstarter campaign to print Pepper&Carrot books 1 to 4 in English and Italian: it's going well after three days! It was fully funded in just a few hours, and the hardcover+artbook tiers have now been unlocked. Great!https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/sillystudios/pepperandcarrot-1-4Transparency disclosure: This campaign is owned/managed by the publisher Silly Studios, which uses the CC-By sources of Pepper&Carrot, but they respect the material and license and I also earn 10% of Silly Studios' revenues, so :yay: .

Edit: I removed the "already in hardcover" part of my message because I just saw on the Ks page it will be unlocked after crossing 4K €, and the campaign is not there yet (src. see Stretch Goals on the table of content of the page). Sorry for the inaccuracy, and I love the "edit button" here to offer me to fix things like that. 😅

@davidrevoy I think this might be the most complicated Kickstarter reward tiering I've ever seen.

@proedie Yes, 12€ the softcover and €52 for the five (book 1 - 4 and Artbook) so less than 10,50€ , hard to beat, especially within Europe (the shipping cost are excluded, so think of this additional cost too).I got bad luck with the print-on-demand auto published version I manage: their print booth closer to Europe is in England, and since Brexit, the price of paper and export made the whole deal really bad. The hardcover is at $26.99 right now...

@landelare Same. Even the way multiple books are presented. They could really simplify things, imo.

@montaropdf Hey, it's not a version Silly Studios wants to make because another publisher does it way better: check the version printed by Glénat in France. It's in all bookstore and online shop at 11,50€ , with a larger format, deeper color and better paper and hardcover. A price/quality only a big publisher like Glénat can get with the volume they sell (Book 1 crossed the x10 re-printing)

@creideiki @landelare True, I wish here they had a single 'reward' for the English artbook at 12€. It's a product the French owner of the Glénat version with already the four books don't have and could be a good deal with the shipping cost from Italy. I'll try to tell them about it, maybe something they can get on their regular eshop after the Ks.

@raven Thank you! Oh yes. They really tried hard to put all their other series as part of the 'packs' and it really makes things more complex. I even read a comment by "Renée" about it on the Ks page...

@davidrevoy I would love to be able to buy these books without involving Kickstarter. Last time I backed a project, I spent three months slapping down the spam that came from *somebody* harvesting the email addresses of everyone who backed the project. Not saying it was KS, but someone got the addresses and spammed the backers.

@TrimTab :blobcatheart: Thank you! I hope they'll deliver quickly after the end of the campaign and without any bad surprise.I have no doubt the quality will be good (I reviewed it here https://www.davidrevoy.com/article1118/welcome-to-silly-studios-a-new-publisher ) and according to what I see from their previous Ks (eg. Silly Gods) they took a couple of months between the Ks (July) and the delivery of the books (1st Dec). They might even be quicker this time, it's not their first Ks anymore.

@davepolaschek Hey, I'm sure just wait a month or two and they'll appear on the regular Silly Studios eshop. https://sillystudiosofficial.com/shop/As everyone can see, this "Kickstarter" (with a first Tier at 500€,lol) is only a 'marketing' way to underline the novelty of what they are launching, and just a front-end for pre-sale.Same, I don't do Kickstarter, and I was really suspicious when Silly Studios announced me they would use this method. But I learnt to meet them https://www.davidrevoy.com/article1118/welcome-to-silly-studios-a-new-publisher

@davidrevoy Hopefully you’ll post a note when they’re available, as my memory is not what I remember it being.

@annun Thank you, and oh yes. The FAQ https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/sillystudios/pepperandcarrot-1-4/faqs mentions that Silly Studios do not include shipping and will only be charged at the end of the Kickstarter, and the price fork they write:5€ Italy5€ to 10€ within Eu10€ to 25€ rest of the wordSo the final invoice can grow a bit.

@remymosZ It's the decision of Silly Studios, one of their "enhancement" (always suggestive) to the series. I was ok with it as long as they are not touching the speechbubbles and dialogs . They'll just change the font to their.
