mailing books & prints

Lure of Labrador Project Backers-

I am very pleased to announce that I have in my possession all 400 copies of my photo book, The Height of Land, and will be mailing rewards this week! I just picked up all of the copies this past Thursday from the binder in Philadelphia, PA.

Those of you who pledged $50+ will be receiving a copy of the book and a photographic print. Most of you (#90/150) have completed the recent survey and selected your photograph and specified if you'd like your book signed, personalized, etc. If you haven't done so already please check through your email and look for the survey request and reply as soon as possible. A few of you didn't enter your first and last name on the form so I have no way of knowing who replied. If I have not heard from you, or if you didn't complete the form in full, I will be emailing individuals throughout the week and requesting this information. Mailing these rewards and organizing all this information has been challenging to say the least and I do not want to further delay fulfilling my obligations to you. I apologize if you've received multiple requests or redundancies, just trying to complete my obligations as efficiently and professionally as possible. I really look forward to you receiving your books and artwork and hearing your feedback. This has been a great experience, thank you again for your support and for your patience.

All the best,

Ryan Arthurs

Lure of Labrador Project Backers,

Here are 11 images for you to choose from for your photo Kickstarter rewards. I will be printing your images shortly so please reply as soon as possible. I have addresses and contact information for almost all of you, but many people haven't replied to my survey or email requests so please take the time to do that if you want to receive your rewards.

I am picking up the books from Philadelphia on Thursday, Feb 21st. I hope to mail the prints & books the week of Feb. 25th. You will have everything shortly. Thanks for your continued patience and I look forward to sharing my hard work with everyone shortly.

Best Always,

Ryan Arthurs, ry.arthurs@gmail.com

It's here! The Height of Land, by Ryan Arthurs

Picked up a handful of copies of the book earlier this week from Philadelphia, PA. Unfortunately the opening reception that was schedule for Friday, Feb 8th at Aviary Gallery was delayed due to the blizzard. Re-scheduling the reception for Friday, Feb. 22nd from 6-9pm. The good news is that I will have all of the books by that time. Heading to Toronto to the Wilderness Canoe Symposium later this week, then driving through Philadelphia to pick up the remainder of the books.

It is my hope to mail out all the books and remaining Kickstarter rewards the week of Feb. 25th. Thank you everyone for your patience. It's been a very busy and exciting time for me and I really look forward to getting the books into your hands shortly. More to come shortly.
