 The very small publishing company that's undertaken to bring our next book to life is struggling to meet the production costs.
This is partly due to the fact that it's a much bigger project than they'd anticipated, but primarily it's because they insist on having it printed by a small UK based (Scottish) company rather than export the whole job to China - admirable ethics, but unfortunately they come at a price.
Therefore they've launched a crowd funding bid to help cover the costs.

We think that the rewards for pledges represent very good value, but if you feel it's not for you please help anyway by circulating this request among other social media sites you may be involved with.
Thanks for reading.

Agree. If this is half as well written and useful as your sheep book, it will have been money very well spent  .

[ladyK]

I agree too - well worth the money!

There is a 'remind me' option on kickstarter that will send you an email 48 hours before it ends

I don't like giving my credit card details to an organisation that's going to hang on to them, and kickstarter don't offer PayPal.  I'd been going to buy the book with a bit of a donation on top... any suggestions?

It's great to see the funding build up so nicely - well deserved! 

I don't like giving my credit card details to an organisation that's going to hang on to them, and kickstarter don't offer PayPal.  I'd been going to buy the book with a bit of a donation on top... any suggestions?

They are 'hanging on' to the details because they will not charge anybody if the goal is not reached - not sure this could be done any other way.
I guess the only way around it is to 'pledge' just before the campaign expires?  Or you could give/send (or rather promise) the money offline to someone who would be happy to put down their credit card on your behalf?
