Howdy!

I wrote a kids book on how to draw maps. Primarily it's a children's book with a fun story and a wise old tortoise, but in the back there are helpful map making tips and practice sheets to learn how to draw mountains and trees.

Check it out!

P.S. I'm committed to delivering this project smooth as butter.

I'm looking at you 1%

There's about 100 of you who I haven't been able to get a hold of. You generously gave me your money, then didn't give me an address to ship to.  Thank you....but please let me give you a book!

If you can email me at [email protected] I can make sure you get your AMAZING book.

Best,

Isaac

p.s. I really really do want each one of my projects to have a 100% completed and delivered on-time record, but Kickstarter makes that nearly impossible. We delivered 95% on-time but this last 5% is kicking my butt. I wish kickstarter would make people put in their address and not just their card info. Anyway, it keeps me up at night

94% Shipped! But I want 100%

We are almost there!


We've shipped out 94% of all orders. Not 5 months late, not barely on time.... but EARLY!

Have you not received your book/product? Please email me ASAP at [email protected]


Now, I have a favor to ask of you. If you have liked your book, would you leave me a review? I think I currently have 0! If you click this link and scroll towards the bottom there is a place to sumbit a review. It would mean the world to me. https://lordofmaps.com/products/highpoints-book

P.S. I ordered 10,000 books thinking that would be more than enough.....well it wasn't! We have completely sold out and will be ordering a big batch coming early next year. 


P.P.S I have set aside the 200 books for the backers have not responded yet. I wouldn't dare sell all my books to other people first and neglect my backers. So if you haven't filled out your backerkit survey yet, I have a book ready for you when you do. 

BIG UPDATE....totally huge and

A lot has happened the past few weeks:

1. Books have started to arrive. I have not shipped all the orders yet, so don't worry if you haven't gotten yours. 

2. My wife gave birth to another little girl! I think she will speed up the process dramatically

3. IF YOUR BOOK IS DAMAGED, or you hate it or some other negative thing.... PLEASE EMAIL ME! I will replace the book, or refund your money. I'm in the business of repeat business. I want people to be happy. So email me at [email protected]


Now here is some sad news:

It has come to my attention that I made a typo in my book. My heart sank when I got that first comment. I am very sorry. I didn't know that there was a misspelled word until after books started arriving to customers. 

That being said, the typo will be corrected in future printings making your copy unique. Maybe even rare???? So maybe you can sell your copy in the future for tens of thousands. 

But in all seriousness, I am sorry. And for those of you curious, I misspelled Delaware -> Deleware. And in the glossary I got the puncuation wrong on Utah's Kings Peak

Best,

Isaac and Gideon

P.S.

I am in talks with the king of Delaware to get the spelling changed

The Books Have Arrived! I will now ship them to you....

The Eagle has landed

A pallet full of books and two goofs

I've been holding my breath for the past few months. Will the books be late? Is the quality going to be bad? Will we make our Christmas deadline?

Ladies and Gentlemen, the books look awesome. We are going to ship these out as soon as possible and we are definitely making our deadline!

Best,

Isaac and Sir Gideon

P.S. These are available for purchase on my website!
