Very happy to see Brian's email this morning regarding the interior font size for Leviathan and to know that the LE will have the larger size. Most of the time, I don't have an issue with the font size of Lividian books, but there have been a recent few that felt like murder on my eyes. For example, I have the LE of Fracassi's A Child Alone with Strangers and keep moving it down my tbr pile due to how small the font seems and knowing it's going to be a struggle to get through because of it. Personally, I'd prefer to pay a bit more overall and have the slightly larger font for my LE purchases but I'm sure there are others who might balk at a price increase.

It's refreshing to see Brian address this issue head on, and, pledge to keep doing so going forward. As Ron said above- most of us (I hope!) do read our expensive, nice books. Or, hope to anyway! It ain't all about cover art and slipcases. Glad to see the readability aspect implemented.

Same (though I had no issues with A CHILD ALONE WITH STRANGERS). Too small font, too-bright white paper, etc...ultimately, for those of us who do read their limited editions, it's all about the reading experience, and if it's not done right that experience is easily undermined. I picked up Midworld's BLACKTOP WASTELAND when it came out, and after struggling through the reading of that book with its tightly condensed and bold font -- oddest choices I've ever seen in a deluxe edition, and it very literally hurt/strained my eyes to read -- I had to sell it as the reading and collecting experience was awful and I knew there was zero chance I'd ever pick it up again. Sometimes it's the little things that make the biggest impact.

Just saw Brian's email this morning. Am only a basic Partreon member; so, I'm not always as knowledgeable as others with what is in the pipeline, but one of his hints sure caught my eye. If this is for "Speaks the Nightbird", I think my head might official explode in happiness.

* This might not make it out this year, but this month we're signing a deal for a Limited Edition by one of Lividian's most published authors and it's a book no one thought we'd be able to get. It'll allow us to properly complete a multi-book Limited Edition set the way it always should have been done.

It HAS to be Speaks the Nightbird! I am VERY excited!!

Very cool! I'm holding out for the LE and am very jealous of those who will know the ending before me.

I am only through 4 books in the series so there is a very good chance you will finish before me. It looks like the ARC will be shipping next week, but I am not sure when the limited is shipping. The good news is that Brian keeps to a schedule so the release date should be pretty accurate!

Received my signed trade from Brian's Patreon on release day. Beautiful production. Now I need to catch up and finish the series!
