I just wanted to say a huge thank you (woof, purr) to everyone who has come and supported the project. And please, I do understand we're in the middle of a recession and times are hard. The one thing really would appreciate, even if the funds are not available for chipping in on this, is posting links to
http://savethedragons.nu/ I'm heartened and humbled by the support.
I also wanted to emphasise that we are keeping track of all the people I owe the Hardcover of SAVE THE DRAGONS to already. That's looking more likely with every pre-order (because that's what you're doing: pre-ordering and getting an e-copy to read).
For those who may be interested Francis has put up a Livejournal community -
