My house has 2500 cardboard boxes in it, ready to be stuffed with literal tons of books! That means we need to make sure your addresses are correct. Your addresses will all be locked in tomorrow (Tuesday), so be sure to double check that they're accurate!
You can easily change your address in BackerKit. A few of you have had a bit of trouble with interacting with BackerKit, but simply click here if you have any questions or concerns with how it works. If you need to edit anything else further, please don't hesitate to PM me on Kickstarter with other questions. I will be working in my house all week on fulfilling orders in a timely and organized manner, which includes frequent checks on the ol' KS.
My goal is to have all pre-orders shipped within a week! I'll have a larger and more substantial update soon so you can be kept abreast of any developments, see pictures of the packing process, etc.
As for me, it's back to folding boxes and making the hand-drawn art (60+ to go @_@)...

I will have all the books in about a week! YOU will have your books in a couple weeks!

Hey everyone! Sorry about the longer-than-usual quietude--it's been kind of crazy for me lately, with a death in the family, the arrival of my third child, and a sickness scare across the whole family that also affected my baby (but he's okay now)!
Here's where we're at: 3,000 hardcover books are barreling towards me as we speak! I should have them sometime next week, and will promptly begin mailing them out to all you lovely backers. Local (US) backers can expect them about two weeks from that point, while international fans should receive them sometime in later March. I'll make a picture-filled update when I get them as well.
Apologies for those who've sent me a message lately--I'm going to answer all of them today! Your PDF should be accessible through your BackerKit profile, under Digital Downloads. If this does not work, please PM me so I can give you a hand with that! Which I will also answer today!
Okay, I think that's everything. Stay tuned for the final pre-book-release update very soon!
Your digital Waluigi book has been sent! Merry Christwaaaas!

Well guys, the long journey is coming to an end. Why not snuggle up with loved ones this season and enjoy a heartwarming story of how Waluigi copes with being left out of Smash Bros? Your PDFs have been sent out, so it's up to you if you're ready for an injection of purple nonsense this year or if you'd rather wait a couple months for the physical book!
If you have trouble accessing the file, please double-check your payment! Some credit cards haven't gone through for various reasons, and the file won't be accessible until they do.
Sometimes it felt like the production of this book was an actual April Fools joke, so thanks for all your support and patience! If you'd like, feel free to share individual strips online, but please don't share the full book with others. Waluigi (and Wario) wouldn't advocate sharing things, after all. HOARD IT ALL TO YOURSELF
Merry Christmas!

Table of Contents and the book's proof! Also, all BackerKit Add-Ons/preorders will be charged tomorrow!

Here's the proof of the book (mostly the Table of Contents)! A book proof is a pre-published set of unbounded pages (with extra space around it) that I can check to make any last-minute changes before thousands of these things get manufactured. I had my mom read it. She was stymied by most of it but enjoyed the saxophone comic. As it turns out, I was mistaken about the book measuring one gross--it's actually a plump, purple 156 pages long!
For anyone who purchased an Add-On or a preorder for the book through BackerKit, your orders will be charged tomorrow!
And of course, as we get closer to Christmas, I'll be sending out the PDF to everyone who backed at that level, so stand by. And good luck on whatever finals or exams you may have coming up!

Quick update--the book is being manufactured right now!

Just as the title says, the design work is done, manufacturing is underway and the book should be at your door within a few months. That's all. WAA!
Oh, also any add-ons through BackerKit will be locked and charged by next week! Make any changes now if you want!
And since I've had to delay this due to previous mishaps, how about I release the PDF of the full book soon? Would make for some heart-warming Christmastime reading, wouldn't you say? Stay tuned!
