@gingerbeardman I was only a 'tyre-kicker' when I visited the project originally but the more I read, the more intrigued I became.
I ended up going for the £80 Premium DVD Edition because (a) I wouldn't have had any questions to ask and (b) I thought the DVD would be interesting to watch, and (c) it's no more than I may have spent (RRP) on a triple-A PS3 game in Aussie dollars 12 months or more ago.
The free international shipping for the print edition was the first hook and I kind of progressed with my pledge amount from there...
Edit: Another update - the total is now £2 shy of £44500, and £5502 to the target. Number of backers - 926.
So how many Nintendo LIfers have looked at this?
There must be some more people on this site with an interest and the funds besides myself and @gingerbeardman?
Anyway, a bit of an update.
Eight days to go at the time of posting this, and a total of just over £42,000/US$65,000 - that's just from less than 900 pledges!
@TheChosen @Yanchamaru - someone obviously cares more for the stories than the personality of the author because the single £5,000 tier pledge has been taken.
@Damo - just to add that for entry-level copies of the book, a pledge of £12/US$18.50 gets the an e-book, whilst £25/US$62 gets you the print edition shipped. Not a bad price for an almost "niche" subject, particularly when the print edition pledge includes international shipping
Even if you couldn't afford £12, a £5/US$7.70 pledge gets you an honorary mention in the book's credits.
Higher pledge tiers include e-book and print copies, print copies with 'extras'. and there also a "making of" DVD planned.
If you've been thinking about pledging for some time, now's the time to commit before the time runs out.
