Update! The goal of $35,000 was reached on April 16 and the project finished far above its target, with three stretch goals unlocked for extra things (an audiobook, extra ebook, and custom bookmarks) for existing reward tiers. You can still get in on the campaign via Late Pledges, a Kickstarter feature to enable additional support/quasi-preordering.

I am entering the last week of crowdfunding for the new, affordable edition of Six Centuries of Type & Printing, my look at technological evolution from before Gutenberg to the present day! You can back the campaign to get an ebook, print/ebook bundle, and special higher tiers.

With some optimism about meeting the goal, I’ve added two stretch goals: at $40,000 (about 115% of the goal), I’ll record and release an audiobook that will be free to all backers at the $10 (ebook) or highter tier. At $45,000 (about 130%), everyone at that tier or higher receives a copy of my $15 value Not To Put Too Fine a Point on It, a 116-page collection of my essays and reported articles on type, printing, and language from 2017.
