Ebook/PDF Update & Final Print Edition Covers!!!

Hey, everyone –
I'm still trying to get everything finished on the layouts/edits to wrap up the ebook/PDF editions to send out to all of you, and the finished interior files to send to the printer. I'm still cranking away on it, just running a few days behind.
When the ebooks/pdf's are done and ready to go out, I'll send another update so everyone will know to look for it in your email. The files will be going directly to the email you signed up with.
I do have one more bit of GOOD news: this morning I received finished copies of the final, color-correct, gorgeously printed covers for both the hardcover and art editions. I wrapped one of the dustjackets around a bound sample book and it fits and feels PERFECT; and the color plates for the art edition covers are a perfect match as well. My printer Jeff knocked it out of the park!
Thanks for being patient with me. The next update will be the announcement the ebooks are going out.
Best,
James
The Dragon Knight PDF and bonus ebook

First, thank you so, so much for your patience. This has been a far more difficult and long path than I ever expected, and I can't wait to finally cross the finish line.
The PDF version of THE DRAGON KNIGHT will be going out to everyone on July 1, 2020. At the same time, the files for the interior pages will be going to our printer, and later that week I will be posting an ETA on the print editions, with an estimated ship date to you all for those and all of the extras you ordered.
In addition to the PDF, we will also be including an ebook edition, which can be read on any device or ebook app. The PDF will look exactly like the book, but the ebook will be easier to read conveniently, and we felt that adding that (which will be going up for sale after we've fulfilled the Kickstarter) was a small gesture of gratitude to all of you who made this book possible.
I'll be posting another update shortly showing some of the interior layouts and the table of contents – then the next update you'll get will be a link to download your books.
I hope you are all well, and keeping safe in these turbulent times. Thanks again for helping me to keep adding a little to the light we all need to see.
Your friend in moxie,
James & Team Dragon

As promised, the second update today is a look at the slipcase design. It uses the original map we created, which has been part of the cover design of EVERY Imaginarium Geographica book. About to sign off on it and send to the printer first thing monday. Hope you like it!

Finalizing the covers

Hey everyone –
We're right now in the process of finalizing/fixing the covers on both the hardcover and Art Editions. This is less a matter of perfectionism as it is just fixing some production flaws (some incorrect color files, including an incorrect letterform on the jacket, and a too-narrow spine) but we're working hard with our printer to get them done, and get them good. I do have a couple of images to show you, though: the first fully-bound dummy copy (to help us size the paperboard slipcase properly) and a look at the unjacketed hardcover stacked with a copy of the previous book, THE FIRST DRAGON. I'll have another update with the slipcase shortly, and then, fingers crossed, the PDF of the completed book and a printing and shipping update.
Thank you, as always, for your support and patience.
James & Team Dragon
