2/2/23> announced Genesis today, a found book ("recovered" by archaelogist Eric Larson) of self-organized text > posted the opening eXcerpt on Sleepingfish + here's the cover:
> the cover's meant 2 look like the the capsule that held the Genesis tablets, but the dirty secret is that it's our tortilla pan > the printer really messed the 1st batch up, the boxes were barely intact (+ thus sum of the boox damaged) + the margins off-kilter, some to the point where the text frame eXtends B-yond the edge (U can tell b/c the edge of the book shd be white but in some of them below it's black):
> the printer's making good on it + sending a new batch, but what 2 do w/ these? Some are salvageable (if interested in an ARC let us know) or if U don't mind the margins being slightly off (not damaged or extending to the edge like the ones above (those 1s are freebies going in2 our Liebury boox), they just have a bottom margin of less than 1/8th of an inch (all the textframes are there)), U can get an advanced imperfect copy if U paypal us $5 (+$3 postage) using this button:
