Having come into a large amount of antique paper used in bookbinding, the idea is to create books for sale via a website and events and fairs (book fairs, science fiction conventions, crafts and handwork events, etc.). I plan to start with hand-bound, traditional-style, illustrated, numbered and signed hardcover copies of my own science fiction novel (with a better cover, too!). After that I plan to make blank books, books of poetry, and perhaps illustrated (with my own illIustrations) books of public-domain classic poetry and literature. In order to do this I will need an ISBN, and equipment for the binding process (for example a trimmer for the pages, glue, clamps, bookboard, etc.). I will also need to pay for printing the interior pages, of course. Living as we do very, very close to the edge finacially (and sometimes just over it, to be honest), I am unable to acquire these things at this time. I hope some of you out there in the wide, wide world can help!
Perks

I will happily send all contributors who request it a copy of the novel in the e-book format requested. It is a science fiction novel about a neuropsychologist who, while trying to save his fiancee, has invented an interface which restores gestalt processing in brain-damaged individuals, and which begins to offer glimpses of an entirely new kind of human interpretation, plunging the inventor into an incredible adventure in which he confronts the dawn of human consciousness itself.

At this time I honestly cannot say how long it will be until copies exist. I am still working on the illustrations, which will take quite some time, and of course I don't have the equipment yet-- that is what this campaign is about. I also do not yet have a very concrete idea of how many man-hours will go into each book. Copies WILL exist, though, and the FIRST TEN PEOPLE to donate 150 Euros or more and claim this perk will get one! The picture is a sneak-preview of one of the interior illustrations, the one I am working on at the moment.
