Obviously, I don't expect anything to happen quickly, just a long-term idea. I think I subscribed on month 3 of the Castalia Library launch, so I'm accustomed to waiting for good things. Always prioritize the pursuit if craftsmanship and artisanal quality over punctuality. You guys are crushing, the impatient ones will regret missing out on all those first editions one day when your machines are all dialed-in and your operation is running at full strength.
Since we're accustomed to waiting two years for a book, might it be possible to make a prepay option for books we missed like Thucydides and Edda?
Show a preprint purchase option for popular books and when 500 or 1000 people buy it a reprint gets queued-up?
At some point, yes. Right now we're just focused on production and catching up to the backlog.

Is there a way to purchase it now? Or just for prior backers
The ebook and audiobook editions are available now on Amazon. Just click the link on the image. The Signed First Edition is not for sale yet.
The print editions will be available in about a month. We like to give the ebook readers a few weeks to spot typos and whatnot before we lay them out.
When can a non-backer order a copy of the leatherbound book?
We'll provide the link when we're ready. Probably in a week or so.
Is it available as an EPUB somewhere or is the ebook limited to an Amazon copy?
Ebooks are available only on Amazon. We've tried three times to sell them independently and there just isn't a sufficient market.
