Tran Nguyen Book Updates! Spectres and Ambedo Collections

Hi, eveeryone,

Our Spectres and Ambedo: The Art of Tran Nguyen Collections Kickstarter campaign runs until May 22nd! These two luxurious hardcover books collect the very best paintings and drawings by Tran.

These two art books are offered as a hardcover edition for only $39 (the cover price is $49.95). In addition, we have a signed edition of Spectres that comes in a slipcase and is limited to 500 copies. We also have two premium signed prints available.

I have good news to share!

We had Spectres and Ambedo done and ready for the printer before this campaign was launched. With the successful backing by you all, we went ahead and sent the books to the printer right away. The printer then made a set of proofs for us to review. We always request high quality proofs for all books that we publish. It’s costly but guarantees that the press team has a visual guide on hand to compare the pages coming off the press to. It also gives us a chance to tweak or adjust any colors that may not look exactly the way we expected before the book goes to press. We have approved the proofs and sent these sheets back to the printer.

At this point the books are entirely in the hands of the printer. They will be printing, binding, applying the gilt edges, spot colors, foils, and making the slipcase for the Spectres deluxe edition over the next 4-5 weeks. Once they are done, the printer will send us two copies of each edition for us to review and approve. Once approved, the books will be packaged and shipped to us from Hong Kong. The transit times are typically another 6-7 weeks. We’ll keep you updated on how everything goes.

Thank you so much for supporting us! We’re grateful to you all for helping to make these books a reality.

Enjoy,

John
