As of this week, the Summer Eternal Anthology Volume One is officially in print!

The final draft of the Anthology is 500 pages long, meaning that our first print run will produce a staggering two and a half million pages.

And that's not all...

That's right: our Anthology has been selected as a finalist for the Zagreb Design Week 2026 Award by an international jury!

The Anthology will be exhibited at ZGDW from 15th to 20th September, and you'll be able to meet some of us at the award ceremony on 15th September.

In celebration, we're sharing the very first teaser of the Red Rooster concept art prints, included with each pre-order of the Deluxe Firestarter Bundle.

(Topmost concept art print by Nightcrow, others to be revealed on release.)

If you've been following our official subreddit or watching our Instagram stories, you may have already seen the first test prints and test binding for the Anthology.

Each of our 500 pages is lovingly crafted, custom-designed and touched by the hands of artists, writers, designers and producers with an uncompromising standard of quality and borderline alarming ambition.

The binding tests below show that the book itself is shaping up to be a behemoth -- outgrowing our initial 3D renders and thickness estimations more than threefold!

By current estimates, we are still on track to release the Anthology this Summer, and we'll send you updates regarding our release date on our newsletter, our social media and this blog.

Although we don't have total control over printing times, we are working closely with the printer to receive the books in batches, so the earliest copies can be packaged whilst the later copies are still being printed. A detailed fulfillment strategy is being planned by our experienced partners at Peregrine Coast Press, who will hand-pack thousands of Anthologies this summer.

If you want to participate in the worldwide release, when the book will be delivered to all our supporters around the world in the same 24-48 hours, there is still time to pre-order your copy before pre-orders close.

Finally: thank you for your support, which has made this project into a tangible reality. As we hold more and more of these items in our hands -- vinyls, patches, stickers, bookmarks, art prints -- we are increasingly convinced that what we're going to share with you is going to be something truly special.

Yours in every season,

Summer Eternal
