The first shipment of books from the Castalia Bindery to the warehouse arrived today. These included:
The Cambridge History of the Byzantine Empire Vol. I
The Cambridge History of the Byzantine Empire Vol. II
Hypergamouse Vol. 1
Ayla Rin Vol. 1
We’re also extremely pleased to be able to say that the last two volumes of THE JUNIOR CLASSICS are now being finished and are still on schedule to be shipped to the backers in November. We’re going to give those who have purchased the set of Vols. 1-8 a few days to buy the last two if they like so that we can make one big stocking order and get them out to everyone as soon as possible. We should have the products up in the usual two places tomorrow.
For those who haven’t had an opportunity to acquire the set, or for those who would like to acquire additional sets for their children or grandchildren for Christmas, we will be offering the full set as part of the annual Thanksgiving sale. We anticipate the last two volumes being completed for the leather set backers in the March timeframe or thereabouts.
And finally, since we decided that our first attempt at doing a Coffee Table Edition HYPERGAMOUSE book was too small, we have ordered a larger version that is 10.8 by 8.5 inches from the printer for the backers and will be making the smaller gold-logo editions available to anyone who would like one during the Thanksgiving sale.

I am so excited to have the yellow Poetry book. They all look fantastic.
excellent. looking forward to the final volumes in my original backer deprecated size... :)
i recall some time ago there was someone doing a chinese translation of some hypergamouse. any idea if that has halted or continues?
also, now that the bindery is building up to its final form, are color plates going to be easier/cheaper in the future? I saw some of the iirc 50's junior classics with a ton of color plates and IMO (and at least 1 child in family) it honestly adds quite a bit to a children's tale to have splashes of color to fuel their imaginations.
