Given the odd nature of the call we should explain ourselves a bit. The anthology will live in a few different forms. Each dependent on funding, see .

Backers will get the version they paid for. Any funds that go beyond operating costs will allow us to create additional copies to be sold, funding future operations.

Depending on funding the following levels of idea will stack. This is in order of cheapest to most expensive:

1. Base softcover run (“standard” literary anthology) with transcribed copies of mailed in originals.
2. Base hardcover run, same as softcover, but hard.
3. Typeset (aka old-school letterpress) run with transcribed copies.
4. Typeset run with one original handwritten piece inserted and bound.
5. Typeset run redesigned with a layout that closely follows original handwritten stories’ eccentricities.
6. Typeset run with above plus illustrations.

Additional goodies are on offer for backers on kickstarter, you should go there for a complete and updated list but the rough ideas version includes:

• bookmarks
• signed copies
• additional art
  • illustrations that didn’t make it into the final piece
  • bracelets
