I wouldn't worry.
This project was so over-funded, there is no sparsity argument against producing it. Taylor White should be able to afford to print deluxe editions and still have money left over.
The fear is whether there is any real focus on following through.

If they're costing near $100k to print, is it safe to assume they will be full colour/glossy?
Not as per the original plan but In all of this long delay debacle they should come around to at least do it in full color.
It's probably the best make-good option available, and might actually mollify people, at least somewhat and maybe significantly. Imagine if the years later lookback is "There were some huge hitches, but they ultimately got it just right; it's a beautiful set, and I love looking through it," instead of "Fool me twice, shame on me" with pages and pages of black-and-white reminders of all of this current nonsense.
It's a good idea, Amer.

Well, like we have been saying the last couple years, "we have to wait and see".

Lets hope for the best, David. Some what small steps in the right discussion so far. But a little shark in the tank can create the right jostle and momentum.

I've known Jeff since the '90s when we had a great phone convo about Alex North's Dragonslayer (I was working on an article for FSM analyzing the score).
Somewhere along the line, with all the drama from CF Publishing and this KS, I forgot that. While I have never laid an iota of blame at Jeff's feet, I feel I should have probably just stayed quiet about all this stuff as I can imagine the negativity still impacts him.
So I'm respectfully tapping out here. I will leave it to the KS folks to sort out this last stage of the printing process and get to the finish line.

For sure this can be intentional. It's probably a graphic design idea that they had.

I was thinking the same, Mikael.

Hey DC, JB's rep is unimpeachable and that's something on which we can all agree. It's just an awkward situation what with him being paid while the ones doing the paying sit around forever wondering when/if their payoff is coming. Ugh. Nobody needs this.
Does the Goldsmith estate have anything to do with this?

I'm not interested in winning a competition for "Worst treated Kickstarter backer."  I just want the books.

I think we've all been quite patient and there's no reason to say, "Well, it could be worse (compared to this other project that's even more poorly run)!"

It's unbelievable that weeks have gone by again without an update. Didn't someone ask about the accuracy of the shipping addresses? This only happens when the project is completed and shipping is imminent...
