I imagine the crowdfunding will run for a few months. If 100% isn't reached, the inevitable is that all the pledgers get their money back and there's no book.
If 100% is reached, there will be a print run in excess of the number of pledgers.

Last two days of the "Back December" offer: A copy of the first edition hardback at a special price, plus the ebook.
"I'm Dreaming of a Black Christmas" is still live, although officially expired on 25 December. Two hardback books so you can give one to a friend, and keep one for yourself plus the ebook.

The book is being printed in the UK, so there is still shipping to Belgium.

I for one haven't read anything by Mark Andrews except for his wonderful and remarkable articles in
The Quietus ...
so I gather, there are opinions and interests actively counteracting this release?

There's no mystery behind the 44%. That's as far as we got with Phase 1, which was focussed on FB Groups and HL. There will be a Phase 2 of crowdfunding starting shortly, so we'll see if we can get the book over the line. I hope so, but if it doesn't fund, it doesn't fund.

It was only a question, no account of what you were saying or what problems you might have or not. Nothing to do with you at all.
Only a general question. Because I wonder ... sorry for that. It just won't switch off ...
@MA Andrews,
ah, ok. Thank you for the explanation. And good progress ...

New Update added - a tale involving Eldritch, ABBA and JFK (not that one).
https://unbound.com/books/sistersofmercy/
Heartlanders who haven't pledged should do so now-ish. The book is at 48% funded. There will be a review meeting with Unbound at the end of February to see if this thing is viable.
This Sticky has had nearly 10,000 views. If 7% resulted in Pledges, the book would happen.
And a Volume 2. If this first one funds, Unbound have said they would very likely pick up the option of a second.

From context I'd guess John F Keenan (F club's promoter back in the day)
