    Low-key, i'm treating these books as a fix for even wanting to ever consider collecting G1. Financially and spacially economical.

    Never backed a Kickstarter before but know how it works...mostly. How does the payment work? I know it's not charged until it's a "go" but what payment do they allow? Paypal hopfully? Just hate giving out CC#'s although I could probably whip up one of those "Virtual" ones if I had to.

    iirc, you can use Paypal. Try checking out and you'll see the options it provides.

    I wouldn't sweat it, the slowest time is typically in the middle of the time window for a Kickstarter. Have you posted to all the TF-related Facebook groups?

    Perhaps someone could start a list here of known TF fb groups to help @Hyperoptic out.

    Duuuude! Thank you for this. I've been looking for high quality scans of those for ages! So much nostalgia there :drool:

    ...i spent soooo many hours wistfully poring over those catalogs in my youth, but seeing the original paper catalogs in my hands now, let alone the archived scans online side-by-side against ocular echo’s sample images, the upgrade in visual fidelity and completeness represented by these books is just staggering...

    ...the crowdfunding campaign is two-thirds toward completion so i’m fairly confident that they’ll succeed with some room to spare; these books will make stunning reference tomes likely coveted for years afterward...

    Even low res the pics look nice..I really like the inclusion of stuff like the decoys. A nice add in would be to add pics of the inserts and stuff. I still enjoy looking at those when they come up...and by the way,BUMP ;)

    You got some spelling mistakes.

    But I'm super excited about a digital possibility

    Real quick:
    Realm, peek, veil of reality, existence

    Maybe more.

    Nearly 80% with 19 days to go! That was a nice little bump since I checked last.

    Not sure when that updates. I backed it and it shows a lesser number than I was given so it's probably closer to goal than it appears.
