Transforming Collections Project Update
My Transforming Collections book project has taken far, far longer than I expected. But I’m now within sight of the end of the book and I think I’ll be able to send the PDF to Kickstarter backers tomorrow for review. After that it’s the editing stage and then finally off to printing. It has seriously taken longer than I anticipated, but all of the project backers have been amazingly supportive and encouraging and I think the final book will have been worth the extra time.
You can learn more about the book — which is designed as an introduction to third party Transformers toys and accessories — at the Kickstarter page. This is a 48-page hardcover that would not exist without all of the support of the backers and everyone who reads battlegrip.com. Thank you, everyone, for helping me make this book happen.
Pre-orders will be closing right before I send the book to print.
UPDATE: The book has shipped and pre-orders are closed.

How long will editing/printing take?
@Marv – The editing will be a week or two (it’s mostly photos) and then printing is roughly five weeks. The printer is in Dallas so that speeds things quite a bit.
Made some great progress today and I still think I am on track to send the PDF out tomorrow to the project backers.
Thanks for the update. I love books like this and I cannot wait.
