Mine was a signed copy and Jon was waiting till after the FFF to post those, so mine will be in my hands by October most likely. In the meantime I have the Kickstarter backer's pdf to read.

Managed to persuade my wife that YOU Are The Hero and the four Blood Sword books wouldn't make very good Xmas presents, and that I should really have them now. Result? She handed them over. Wey hey! Time to have a good read.

Currently sneakily reading it at work when I should be playing with plasma. Fantastic book, so much lore and interesting tidbits of info. The emnity hinted at between Livingstone and Joe Dever surprised me.

^ Ooh scandal! Like the gamebook equivalent of TOWIE.
Really looking forward to receiving my physical copy, had a flick through the PDF and it looks awesome.

where's the free pdf version located? A link was sent out to all the Kickstarter backers. Not sure if non-backers can use it. My hard copy arrived this morning! Pity I need to endure work before I can look at it. |

The project was run on Kickstarter (a site similar to Indigo) back in Dec 2012-Jan 2013. You can find it here: It took Jon Green quite some time to write and put together the book, hence why backers are only getting stuff now. If you want a copy, you'll need to order it (like from the Amazon link in the first post). |

A tad late to the party. Does anyone know where a body can locate a hardback of this? Does Mr. Green frequent this forum? Is there a way to contact him and beg for a copy?  |

He's a member of this forum but certainly not a frequent visitor! Still, if you were serious about asking him, his profile makes him easy to track down. |

I PMed Mr. Green, but I don't know if he'll reply here. Unfortunately, I don't have a membership to LinkedIn, Twitter nor Facebook.
