Good morning! We're monitoring the situation as the county is repairing the bridges that got washed out on our property last weekend.

Sending out the next batch of these for printing this weekend. You can reserve one at the Kickstarter Pre-Order page (pinned post) for a couple more days!

It’s one of the most beautiful bindings of Beowulf. I know I’ve had a few people ask me where I got mine. Check the link in the OP.
