If you're here, you probably already know what this is.
Yes, this is the Background Pony print. There are many people that have expressed interest in it. Many have participated and obtained it during the first run. Others haven't due to a variety of reasons, yet still want to, and I am ready to provide it for them. As gathering funds has become somewhat of a challenge, I am opening a campaign where you can fund the printing yourself.
The end goal is the minimum for the print to go through, as it has been negotiated with the publisher. You can contribute after it is met, no problem.
What's New
Exclusiely for this run, the book has been submitted to over 150 hours of meticulous manual proofreading. Numerous layouting and typesetting errors discovered after the commencing of the last year's release have also been fixed.
Short Summary
The book will be cloth-bound (Savanna 5170 and 5601), with cover elements embossed on it in silver. It is split in two tomes of 550 pages each, set on 60x90 1/16 (220x150 mm) 80g paper. Due to high cost of color printing required by the story, a B&W version will also be available, with colored elements replaced by equivalent typesetted representations.

Risks & Challenges
I live in Russia. We love books here, and that's why I've started this in first place. But, as Russia is currently not at best terms with the rest of the world, a lot of organization-related things have been very hard to make right. Right now, I hope that we'll be able to make it. Don't worry, there will be no issues with shipping.
Other Ways You Can Help
If you don't want the book yourself, maybe you know someone else who does! Please share information about this campaign with anyone who will love a great read to accompany them into the new year. Together, we will accomplish anything.
And that's all there is to it. If you have questions that haven't been answered here, I can be found on Discord: https://discord.gg/Dg8Jpht
