Hypergamouse Coffee Table
There is a one-week window of availability if you want a book
One of the elite rewards of the Hypergamouse campaign was the Coffee Table Book, which is a large horizontal edition with only two panels per page, thereby spreading out each episode to two pages and permitting larger panels and higher resolution art. This backer’s edition is now available at the Arkhaven store to those who missed the campaign for one week only and features the first 100 episodes of the popular comic as well as the nine episodes of the original black-and-white comic drawn by the original illustrator.
UPDATE: The Coffee Table edition is also available at NDM Express. This is recommended if you have credit card issues at Arkhaven.
That’s why, although the coffee table book is 222 pages, the content is exactly the same as the 115-page hardcovers and paperbacks that have already shipped out to all of the backers, including both essays by Vox and Lacey. It also has the special gold Arkhaven logo that is reserved for first editions.
The price of the book is $169, which includes shipping. It’s a uniquely collectible and historical book; imagine owning an elite edition of the first Peanuts collection or the original Calvin & Hobbes. Unfortunately, the window of opportunity for this is one week, since the print run is going to be small, limited, and ordered very soon. If you’re having trouble with the Arkhaven store, don’t worry, you can also buy it at NDM Express.
With regards to the leather editions, we just received the brass stamps for the cover this week, so we’ll be getting those made at the Bindery and shipped out in August. Unfortunately, it will not be possible to order a leather book if you didn’t back the campaign because the book blocks and leathers have already been ordered and delivered. If there are any extras left, we will make them available.
We received our paperback copy recently, and the quality is excellent!
I wanted to be very careful with it, but I chose to leave it out in the living room where my three teen girls could see it. Sure enough, one by one, they picked it up, asked, "What's this?" and silently pored over each page until they had read the whole thing. They have no idea, but I consider Hypergamouse and the lessons contained therein an essential part of their home education.
Awesome. Hoping I can grab a copy, I'm not too familiar with the comic besides seeing some posts on this blog.
Pondering back the past few years on how positive my life is because of changes I made inspired by Big Bear who's voice was able to reach me cuz of Vox's platforms, just wanted to say I'm very grateful that your projects result in awesome things being made and good values back in the world.
Great stuff
