Do you like the idea of my book? Have you read the sample chapters or the e-book version, and do you (like me) want Brown Dogs and Barbers to have a glossy, professional finish to it?
Then please donate with the button below.
What will happen to the money?
With your help, I will commission professional artists and book producers to improve Brown Dogs and Barbers in stages, culminating in fully professional-looking paperback and e-book versions.
When we raise €250, I will commission a professional proof reader to remove any spelling or grammatical mistakes and improve the flow of the text.If you help me reach €500, I will call on a professional artist to take my placeholder diagrams and transform them into a set of beautiful images.Upon reaching €750, our artist will then produce an outstanding front cover image.At €1250, we’ll have enough to design the paperback version and make it available for sale on places like Lulu and Amazon.When we raise €2000, I’ll be able to commission the professional design of the additional PDF, ePub and Mobipocket versions of the book, with everything already mentioned (front cover, diagrams, typesetting and proofreading).
Update: Enough money was raised to meet all the goals above. Thank you to everyone who donated and spread the word!
I will keep the donations channel open, as I have ideas for further cool things to do. News on those later…
Dear Karl,
it is a pleasure to see such an (e)book coming into existence and I really like what I managed to read so far on your blog.
I would very much like to support this project with a donation – and was in fact one of the IndieGoGo supporters of it – but if I click on the donation link all it does is forward me to PayPal’s front page. I have tried this in several browsers in a time span of several weeks and I stumble upon the same issue every time.
If this is a problem on your side, please fix it and let me know; if it is a PEBKAC, I do apologise and humbly ask for directions.
best wishes,
Matija

Hi Matija,
I’m sorry to hear about the problems with the donate button, and sorry this reply has taken so long (your message got caught by a rather enthusastic spam filter). I suspect the recent changes made by PayPal to their service has broken the button. I will try and fix that.
My email address karl.beecher {at} outlook.com is linked to my PayPal account, so if you’re still interested in donating, please send contributions using this address.
Many thanks and best wishes. Karl
The Donate button seems to lead to the PayPal main page – how can I donate?
