Terrific News to Share! — Clove St Press

Holy mackerel, I just got a final price estimate for the 2-color foil-stamped with emboss tuck case for the Jane Austen Playing Cards from Clove St Press. This is the printing house that does all the letterpress work for Dan and Dave, and so much other beautiful work. We'll be able to print the tuck cases at Clove St Press right out of the gate. No waiting for a stretch goal for the fancy tuck cases. I am thrilled and hope you will be too! Spread the news.

Trista Edwards wrote a piece about the Jane Austen Playing Cards for the on-line publication Luna Luna Magazine. She called the cards "lovely." Ms. Edwards is clearly a woman of uncommon taste and refinement! Take a look. Like the article. Share with with your friends! Thanks, Trista.

New Solution!

Thanks to the suggestion of backer, Robert W., I closed the original Early Bird Special for a Half Brick ($62 with $22 shipping in the US) with the incorrect US shipping which should  have been $7. The new reward level titled "Early Bird-Half Brick Correct Shipping" is set to charge the correct US shipping. If you backed the original early bird special, you can change your original pledge to this new version. You'll be charged the correct amount and I will not have to send a refund with the shipment. Perfect!
