Here's the tally, with the amount of people who pledged!

personamount of pledgerstotal amount
Kate Downham  15 people$770.00
Leigh Tate  10 people$247.00
Scott Howard  2 people$200.00
Chris McClellan  5 people$135.00
David Huang  2 people$130.00
Remelle Burton  1 person$10.00
R Ranson  1 person$1.00


Watching the previous kickstarters, it's fascinating to see how the amount will often go up, even if the amount of people pledging hasn't. People really do raise their pledges as we get closer to the finish line, and as more stretch goals are reached. The last days of the kickstarter get really exciting!

Hi Kevin!

The rewards for this kikcstarter haven't gone out yet, but you can access the rewards from last time! You have links to all of them in your My Stuff section here on permies. Just click this link and then click the tab for "DM threads - I own" and then also "DM threads - gifts I manage."

Here's a tutorial: How to access Digital Market Goodies and Gift Codes

I hope that helps!!!

I noticed we still have new supporters coming in....with just over 6 hours left it might be good to drop a note wherever anyone put their links reminding folks that the window closes today.  Can't hurt, right?

Down sick with The Covid here and am taking advantage of a meh situation to do some long-overdue rabbitting in the permies warren.
Totally forgot about this kickback thingy and don't remember hearing any more about it. Not that that's an indication of falling trees making noise at all, at all.
Looked in the handy-dandy how permies.com works thread to see if I could figure it out, but alas, the answer is either not there, or I am just too addlepated to see it.
Who can enlighten me on how kickbacks work? Here in permies world, that is.
Thanks muchly,
L

The way it worked on this kickstarter was that if your kickback codes brought in more than $500, you get to go home with 20% of the total.  If you get past $10k it bumps to 30%.  Looks like you were shy of the $500 so you didn't earn a kickback.  Thanks for helping and sorry it didn't take off for you!

Oh! Thanks Mike - guess the fine print escaped me; didn't really know what to expect. I'll be more pushy next time, haha.

Question. This is probably answered somewhere and I didn't see it. Approximately when are the physical books scheduled to be sent out? Thanks

If you check the support forum you will see details.  The short answer is that books have been getting shipped out for a month.  US orders just started to go out a week ago.
