As a thank you for your preorder I have offered different levels of extras only available at preorder. They are explained below!

This book was inspired by words and prints which I started creating in 2024. I’m now ready to start taking preorders and there are a number of levels at which you can contribute, which will enable to me predict print numbers and fulfil purchases as quickly as possible.

**This book is not due to be printed until 2027**

Level 1 preorder • 1st edition signed book - all preordered copies will come signed by me and full of my love and appreciation for your faith in this project.

Level 2 preorder • 1st edition signed book + glimmers - those who choose this option will have their book signed but also will have me add extra golden foil details by hand throughout the book to make it extra special and a total one-off. 

Level 3 preorder • 1st edition signed book + glimmers + artwork - those who choose this option will have their book signed but also will have me add extra golden foil details by hand throughout the book to make it extra special and a total one-off. They will also receive a set of printed artwork from the book to gift or frame as a reminder of the story.

I will post regular updates on progress and artwork created on my website Blogibidu but I’m saving the full story words for when we read through the proof together. If for any reason no book is printed I will refund ALL payments for this product.

Printing specifications (these can could change depending on various factors but the current aim is this):

The Beautiful Boat is dedicated to my gorgeous family who I adore. Remember your boat doesn’t have to look like other boats or even be very good at floating some of the time. Doesn’t mean it’s not a beautiful boat.

This book is written and illustrated by Cat Regi and is due for completion in 2027. Those who pre-order will be kept up to date on progress throughout printing and distribution. 

Thanks so much for your support.
