If the print run is 100 for the first edition and 100 people sign up above, that’s effectively a preorder promise. They get edition one, only printing. All black with yellow ink. The symbol edition. THE DEFINITIVE field guide.

Everyone who signs up after that will be put down for edition 2. Bloodorange with pink ink. Good luck in the abyss, your field guide is not COMPLETE or DEFINITIVE

After that, matte gunmetal with red ink. Godspeed, this may as well be a bootleg. Who the fuck gave you this and told you it was a good idea to come down here?

The total printrun between three editions will be no less than 100 for edition one, no less than 200 for edition two, and no less than 250 for edition three.

Total print run for all three editions will not exceed 750
