Glacier Bay Books Kickstarter Campaign Progress
The last 9 days of the campaign, and we've just blown past 95% of our funding target...
Hi everyone,
Welcome to the next installment of Glacier Bay Books’ newsletter. I’m thrilled to announce that we’re in the last 9 days of the campaign with over 360 backers and having reached ~95% of our campaign funding target! The finale is within reach!
If you’re considering preordering our new lineup of titles and haven’t yet, I want to encourage you once more to check them out!
About the New Books
Available through the current Kickstarter campaign, we have ohuton’s Flatland-influenced sci-fi coming of age story SEASIDE BETA
Aoi Mukoubi’s mysterious new graphic novel TO THE SEA about a girl who vanishes into the night
Kijitori Byu’s massive new collection of surrealism-tinged short stories ONE HUNDRED VIEWS OF REALITY
the second volume of Sayaka Mogi’s epic fantasy adventure drama, FINAL TESTAMENT TO THE MOON
the new collection of alternative slice of life Sci-Fi short stories from award-winning author Natsujikei Miyazaki, the very first of their books to be published in English
and the first part of Yoruno Hitsujigumo’s quiet slice of life mystery THE OTHER SIDE OF THE CLOUDS
We are also reprinting Shinnosuke Saika’s DREAM ANOTHER DREAM which collects the first three Sleepy Child stories, and is available for simultaneous preorder through the Kickstarter campaign including to international backers.
Speaking of international backers - we’re partnering with Sendai in Portugal to assist with international shipping for the new books which means just for this campaign, we are able to offer international shipping options which are much cheaper than those usually available, especially within the EU. We are not able to offer these shipping rates after the campaign, so I want to encourage international backers to take advantage of this.
Please note: because these books will ship separately out of the EU, it does mean that these international rates can’t be used / combined with the rest of our titles as that inventory is located in the USA)
Other Rewards Available Through The Campaign
We have a couple special bundles including packages for retailers (ask your local comic shop / bookstore to order some!), but the big non-book reward we have is a special Glacier Bay Books T shirt!


This is the Glacier Bay Books “Saika” design T shirt we did a small run of last year. It features a small design on the back (shown in the right photo). We will be doing a limited reprint for the Kickstarter campaign on an extremely soft heathered-lavender shirt (like the original run). We are also making a second “Beta” design for the campaign (based on ohuton’s SEASIDE BETA).
I’m also trying to put together a couple other special items for the campaign, we’ll see if they can materialize in time..!
Well, that’s all for now! Let me know if you have any questions about the campaign, and hope to see you there! We’ll also be sending out one more announcement in the last couple days of the campaign!
Thanks,
Glacier Bay Books
