Allies, Contacts, Enemies & Rivals update

At the time of this post, I am working my way through the ACER manuscript with a view to having it finished in the next 24 hours. I’ll post the sections that I think are done and dusted up as PDFs on the private section of the Spica Publishing boards.

Career Book 2 Print Edition has left the building

The last of the print edition orders of Career Book 2 were handed in to the Royal Mail today!

Each box contains a print edition of Career Book 2 and the free 2d6 Spica logo dice; also everyone has had their free PDF eVoucher sent to them. I consider the CB2 print order to have been a success, and customers seem to like, and appreciate, the freebies! Thank you to all of our customers who bought CB2 – we’re sure you’ll like the book and the free dice when you receive them!

Career Book 2 is still available to buy as a print edition from Spica Publishing’s Lulu store, on a print-on-demand basis.
