Hi all, some people ordered the book after the campaign and don't have access to the latest Kickstarter updates.
This is a summary of all the books I shipped to date:
-----------------------------------------

Feb 9: Italy (second half)
Feb 10: Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Switzerland, Czech Republic, Hungary
Feb 11: Australia
Feb 13: Denmark, Spain, Finland, Faroe Islands, Republic of Ireland, Japan, Luxembourg, Mexico, Zew Zealand, Poland, Portugal

Feb 21: 22x UK* (all remaining backers) - 16x US* (all remaining backers)
Feb 24: All 18 remaining packages with the cards set have been sent out to the UK and US.
* A few days ago I realized that the printing facility gave me less card set boxes than I ordered.
The rewards that include the card set will be delayed by a couple of days.
All the books have been shipped!
-----------------------------------------
Now I have to ship all the books to the UK, US and Germany, that together with Italy have the highest numbers of backers.
Some statistics: the most backers came from the UK, followed by US, IT, and DE; then Sweden, Australia and France. All the other countries have less than 10 books each.
If I get an order from the site I proceed in this way: if it belongs to a country that I have already covered, it is added to the next-day trip to the post office, otherwise it is added to the queue of the corresponding country. Anyway orders from the site are very few so they don't slow the process.
From tomorrow on, I will ship every day a few books to UK, US and DE, at least 10 for each country, ~30 each day.
This is my daily schedule:
Code: Select all
10 REM *** SHIPPING SCHEDULE ***
20 $BOOKS = 191
30 HAVE BREAKFAST
40 LOAD "CAR"
50 GOTO POST OFFICE
60 GOTO WORK
70 GOTO HOME: HAVE LUNCH
80 PREPARE SOME BOXES
90 GOTO WORK
100 GOTO HOME: HAVE DINNER
110 PREPARE SOME BOXES
120 SLEEP
130 $BOOKS = $BOOK - 30
140 IF $BOOKS > 0 THEN GOTO 20
150 PRINT "ALL BOOKS ARE SENT!"
I will run this program for another week, and then I will hibernate for the rest of the winter.
I will update this post every day.
