.@flarup's iOS App Icon Book was easily one of the most beautiful books to be made in recent years

The Mac variant is an insta-buy for me!

@b3ll also 25% more expensive than the first one, even if shipping is cheaper now 🫠
i’ve still bought it but still, seems greedy

@radu @b3ll always up for sharing those stories. Greedy is definitely not the word I’d use to describe the cost ratios of self publishing 😂

This book costs the same as the first one though. iOS was 60+29 shipping. macOS is 69+20. Same price in a rising cost environment. Pretty happy about that.

@flarup just to talk facts, it’s €99 vs €79. both physical + digital

backer #6 on the first one, #39 on the new one - i’m a fan!

however I was not aware of the raising costs, I was ready to bet it’s cheaper now knowing exactly what to do and who to work with.

thanks both for providing details!

@radu a bit of an unfair comparison as the digital edition wasn’t part of the first campaign, it was a gift we sent everyone after and now it’s sold separately.

I also see that you have an early bird discount which was awarded to the first backers. We don’t have that in the new campaign.

The base price of the hardcover book + shipping remains identical across both campaigns. 😊

@flarup thanks for clarifying, i’m a fan anyway just curious about the pricing and these details
