“The book is designed and typeset with love and we will use digital offset printing to ensure the best quality. The original novel has over 50 illustrations. The printed edition will contain a handful of new illustrations that I did not get to do the first time around. The book also contains a number of maps and diagrams that give context to the story’s setting and teaches you a bit about the geography of Finland.” explains author Niraj Kumar.
Niraj Kumar wrote and illustrated Jörgits & the End of Winter. After a successful campaign on Kickstarter for his interactive version of Jörgits & the End of Winter he decided a printed hardcover version would be a nice edition to the collection.
In order to get more exposure for the book and to reach stretch goals, Kumar has set up an InDemand Indiegogo campaign. The hardcover version of the book is available to order along with prints from the novel, and other fun perks like custom, signed illustrations of Jörgits and his friends.
