How does the timed-release model work?

The Collector’s Edition is sold in a limited-time window, creating urgency and demand.

• Once sales close, the edition is no longer available—no reprints.

• Buyers must secure their copy within the release period, ensuring exclusivity.

• VIP collectors may receive early access before the public launch.

This model guarantees that each edition remains rare, valuable, and highly sought after.

The level of involvement is up to you and your team, but you’ll be actively engaged at every stage, from initial concept discussions to layout approval. We provide regular updates and are always open to your feedback at each milestone, ensuring the final product aligns with your vision. Our goal is to keep communication clear and ongoing throughout the process.
