Hi there,

So another 150 going out tomorrow. That is then ALL the UK, ALL EU, ALL non-EU - both signed and unsigned. There are 114 more to pack for the RoW - these will be going out Wednesday.

I will send out the EU signed posters tomorrow to avoid the 1st July customs charge.

Lots of people chasing - just me and the Mrs packing these this time, so I did say it would be slow and steady as we have magazines to send out as well.

Over 1,000 books now sent out. Will hopefully have everything sent out this coming week.

Thanks, Chris

New Kickstarter: Memories of Rainbird and Beyond Software book...

Hi there,

Over 650 Ocean books now sent out, and from Social Media I can see that many have received their book - hope you like what we did with it!

We are now running a new campaign for a similar book on Rainbird and Beyond Software. Same number of pages, hardback and if we hit a £40K stretch goal, each will come with a slipcase. This will look nice on your bookshelf with the Ocean book!

Please Pledge here: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/zzap642021annual/memories-of-rainbird-and-beyond-software

And the stretch goal:

Thanks, Chris

Hi there again,

So the magnets came yesterday, so the first 150 or so books will go out today. There are about 1,100 books to pack and send so will send as quickly as possible, with everything else that is going....the aim is to get at least 100 sent each day if not more.

So please be patient - all the books will be out in the next 10 days or so or less, then I will look at the other perks, if not before.

And here is that magnet - a little bigger than I thought!! Everyone will get one of these.

Thanks, Chris
