OT: Mouse Book Club

Not exactly fine press, but I know there are some linkages with the small press world. Anyway, has anyone heard anything from Mouse Book Club lately? They finished their first African American Literature Box Set last year and were planning to start on the second (focusing on the Harlem Renaissance), but seem to have gone quiet since. I'll probably email them and check in, but wanted to see if anyone had some inside skinny.

>1 Shadekeep: I backed their Kickstarter, and while I recieved my orders, from what I've been able to tell they stopped shipping and went silent right around the time the founder took a new job. I think if you have a Kickstarter account, you can see all the comments of people trying to reach them for 8 months now.

>2 NathanOv: Thanks, yes, I backed that as well. I was in talks with them about the second volume, too. I emailed them yesterday but no reply yet. I didn't know about the job change, that may have spelt doom for them since they were such a small effort. It's a shame, as they seemed to have an outsized impact, would have liked to see that continue.
