Just pressed 'print' on 700 cards! 0_0
Thank you everyone for your enthusiasm! They should arrive by Saturday and I will start packing individual orders. As the printers work in increments of 100, there'll be extras, so I'm keeping the shop open for now, but will close it as stocks dwindle.

Also, head on over to MY shop at ko-fi.com/tealin/shop to pre-order some polar-themed midwinter cards so I know how many to get printed!

I'm ordering cards tomorrow morning, so this is your last day to get orders in if you want a guaranteed number of them, in time for you to send out in December!

One of my friends in Antarctica had brought a paperback of Worst Journey to re-read while there. He discovered his colleague had never read it so he tore it in two from where he'd got to and gave the first half to his friend to read. It's one of the most touching things I've ever seen.
One of the posts that got me flamed back in the old place was when I said I didn’t fetishise books as objects and wasn’t bothered if their owners wanted to rip them in half to make their baggage lighter or chuck them in the recycling once they’ve read them or whatever. Some people went ballistic
The veneration of Books As Objects misses the point entirely. If you're reading a book, turn the corners down, break the spine, spill soup on it. It's your book, go nuts. A pristine, unread book is a tragedy in a way that a beloved, much-read book that looks like the dog's been at it could never be.

Comics! Antarctica! I loved interviewing @twirlynoodle.com for this article about her Eisner-nominated graphic novel adaptation of 'The Worst Journey in the World' about Captain Scott's final expedition.
I've been interviewed by Swoop Antarctica about my journey to Worst Journey and how I'm approaching the material! www.swoop-antarctica.com/blog/worst-j... I'd like to think Antarctic travel folks will Get It, but hopefully other folks will, too.

Merch!
I have put together a couple of Worst-Journey-themed designs for Midwinter Cards – because Midwinter is in June in Antarctica, they can't really be Christmas cards.
