It's funny how you can go for ages without knowing something like Kickstarter existed, and then you hear about it 3 times in less than 24 hours. This was #3: a link to Craig Mod's blog, which has a quite lengthy essay on how he used Kickstarter to fund the second printing of an art book. He includes a nice analysis of the funding price points that were the most successful, and even a few observations on setting the right length of the fund-raising campaign. I also enjoyed reading it for the descriptions of the assorted print shops he used. http://craigmod.com/journal/kickstartup/
