While scarcity might make my particular copies more valuable, I'd rather see the bindery succeed. That's why I backed in the first place. The more sales and revenue, the better. Go for it.
"If any have toiled from the first hour,
let them receive their due reward;
If any have come after the third hour,
let him with gratitude join in the Feast!
And he that arrived after the sixth hour,
let him not doubt; for he too shall sustain no loss.
And if any delayed until the ninth hour,
let him not hesitate; but let him come too.
And he who arrived only at the eleventh hour,
let him not be afraid by reason of his delay.
For the Lord is gracious and receives the last even as the first.
He gives rest to him that comes at the eleventh hour,
More impressive than the laser cutter, able to cut a print run of letter in a day is this: solving the problem space, and not as single applications. Much more effective and flexible, and at least as efficient for individual runs.
Yes, that was one reason we were looking for a better solution. This allows us to produce any number of cases, from 1 to 10,000, and set the size up very quickly instead of having to have dies made.
I've been having problems with communications getting through, I sent an email back in July about an 1873 King James Bible that needs rebinding. Can you let me know if that email arrived?
I just discovered castalia library not long ago and somehow it is the most gratifying and encoraging project I heard about in a long time!
Is there more information available somewhere about the background of the project? For example, organizational, technical, and financial details. Like e.g. what is the calculation for a library edition book? How comes it is not that much more expensive than many other books with way worse quality, probably much higher degree of automation and many more copies.
I've found a few updates here and there, but nothing in-depth.
Sorry, that came across wrong. Not that I wanted to read your balance sheet. I was just wondering if it's largely based on volunteer work and enthusiasm, or if it's profitable and maybe even provides a living for people. Since you somtimes share a bit of technical background I was hoping for organizational one as well.
One more question, if I may: As far as I can see, there's only one book available in German so far (Heidi). Are more planned? While I would personally not buy a translation of an English book, I would be very interested in a German version of classics such as the Meditations or Rhetoric.
I will be buying Guns of Mars if the sale is opened up.

No, why would we ever publicly discuss the details of our operation?
We run a very lean operation that focuses primarily on quality. This means we have very long delivery periods, but the wait is always worth it.
We also don't see any need to gouge the customers; we genuinely focus on providing high value because we intend to be doing this for a very long time.
