Update-Thanks to a late surge of pledges, a new edition of Crap Hound #4 will be going to the printers!

About a month ago Karen wrote about Chloe Eudaly’s (owner of Reading Frenzy) efforts to print a revised and expanded 2nd edition of Crap Hound #4: Clowns, Devils, and Bait! Well the fundraising drive, which was conducted through Kickstarter, has received pledges from 251 263 Backers and is now 90% 93% 95% of the way towards meeting its goal of $12,500. But with only 3 days left for pledges to be made, the project is still about $1,200 $1,000 $800 $600 short of being fully funded.

So can you help push this effort over the top by pledging your support?  Your pledge may inspire some of the existing backers to up their pledge just to make sure all of this effort wasn’t for naught.  As Karen noted in her previous post, this isn’t solely about reprinting Crap Hound #4 either.  It’s also about supporting Reading Frenzy, as Crap Hound is the store’s “bread and butter.”  I just pledged $50, will you make a pledge today?
