Keith Rocco's art of the French Army at Waterloo
Over the next couple of months we will be posting regular updates on the printing of the Waterloo art book and sharing sample page layouts here (like the ones below), on our Facebook pages, and to our fans who receive our email updates.
Thanks for your patience and support!
We apologize for going silent for so long. We are hard at work getting the final layout done and then proofread so we can deliver it to the printer by the middle of June. That should enable us to get finished books shipped to our US warehouse sometime in August, as promised.
Watch for more sample page layouts soon! We will continue to post them to keep our backers updated on our progress.
Thanks for your patience!
Keith, Paul, and I would just like to say THANK YOU to everyone who supported our Kickstarter.
We are now working on more add-ons to offer in our post-Kickstarter store. This will be hosted by Backerkit, and it will include some of the suggestions our backers made.
Backerkit, not Kickstarter, will send out the surveys to confirm each backer's shipping address and collect the shipping fees when we know what those will be. A sample book – called a "white copy" because it has blank pages – will be sent from the printer to us in June. We can then calculate the exact weight and shipping costs within the USA and to other countries.
More updates will be posted as soon as we have more information.
For all of you who have been following our Kickstarter campaign, please consider pledging soon. For those who have pledged, THANK YOU!
Here are a few more spreads showing how Keith Rocco's paintings will appear in Waterloo: Napoleon's Last Army – the book is a work of art in itself.
US backer John Smith asked when he might expect to be asked to supply his shipping address.
After the Kickstarter campaign ends on May 12, every backer's credit card will be charged for their books along with any add-ons purchased during the Kickstarter campaign.
About a month thereafter Backerkit (not Kickstarter) will ask for your shipping address. We should have a sample book before then (not printed, just blank pages and binding). This will enable us to calculate an accurate postage cost to addresses in the USA, EU, UK, etc.
About a month before the printer ships the books to Dana's warehouse in California your credit card will be charged for the shipping along with any additional items you want but did not choose during the campaign.
Right now we can only estimate when this will be, but we hope that's sometime in July with the books arriving here in August and then being shipped out that same month after being repacked into individual shipping cartons.
If all goes well, backers should receive their books sometime in August or early September, three to four months after the Kickstarter campaign ends.
