Currently on Kickstarter with the GN priced at £25.plus an estimated £10 P&P. As it is currently on £1.4M raised it is crashing through the stretch goals. With such a talented team and coming from the publishing arm of the Terry Pratchett Estate, it couldn't have a better pedigree.

ooof, some of those packages get expensive fast, and the shipping is pretty pricy too.

One of the things that puts me off backing Kickstarters is the packaging costs - being in the UK can often almost double it for American projects.

yeah often the shipping it taking the piss, £10 to ship a book is pretty high imo

Yeah, I'm not a superfan so would possibly pick up a mass market release and the fans can go all in on the goodies - with the stretch goals it should be a nice object and if you can then get it signed at a fan event...

Why does it have to be on a Kickstarter? Publishers should be jumping at the chance to publish it.

It seems the Terry Pratchett Estate wanted to do everything themselves, which I understand. What I don't like is when big companies use Kickstarter.

I do hope that they allow a softcover edition to be produced that is more widely available for everyone else.

Cheers, looks like something went wrong removing all the referral crap. All fixed.
