Into the Nanten Hand-Bound Leather Journal – Kickstarter Reward

Last year the highest reward to get snagged during my Kickstarter for Journal 2 of Into the Nanten was the hand-bound leather journal I made as a reproduction of the one Marceles is currently lugging around the jungle. It was a lot of work to format the innards, from mud splatters to skewing and moving individual lines of text (you want it to feel hand-written after all). It was also totally worth it.

I took my copy of the journal with me to conventions around the country, and each time it got plenty of “oohs” and “aahs.” It’s the only intrinsically expensive reward we’ll be offering again, purely because it is that awesome and I want you to have a chance to get your hands on some serious awesome yourselves.

I never took photos of the journal before now for some reason – I guess I was too busy sitting on airplanes, and the lighting in a passenger jet is notoriously bad for product photography.

We highlighted it in the Kickstarter video (which I just finished) and I wanted some good stills to share in the Kickstarter campaign as well. It only seems right to give you a preview of what you’re getting for a whopping $750 down. Trust me, it’s worth every penny. At least the four of us who have copies of Journal 1 think so.

There will be ten on offer during the Kickstarter, which launches on March 4th. You can check out the artwork on display at Coeur Coffeehouse here, which is where we’ll hold the official launch party on the 4th. If you can make it, we would love to have you. We’ll have sweet prizes on offer along with live music.

Whether or not you can make it down for the party, mark your calendars for the campaign itself so you don’t miss the early-bird specials! You can join the Facebook event here if you need the reminder – and that way you can invite all of your friends as well!
