Update: Books Are at the Printer! Surveys Coming Soon!
Hello Backers! We wanted to give a couple of project updates: first off – the books are at the printer! We will know estimated completion date soon. Once we know the final printer schedule we will be able to distribute the surveys!
Once surveys are sent you will be able to purchase additional add on’s, update delivery address and download your pdf of BONE Part One: The Valley as well as your digital wallpapers!

Banned Books Week
It’s Banned Books Week! The annual event highlights the value of free and open access to information and brings together the entire book community — librarians, educators, authors, publishers, booksellers, and readers of all types — in shared support of the freedom to seek and to express ideas. BONE has often made the list for three reasons: violence, racism and political viewpoint.
