Welcome to the Crowdsourcing Mornings segment! Every weekday morning, Geek Alabama talks about and features one crowdsourcing project from crowdsourcing sites such as, Indiegogo, and others.

A decade has passed since the doom of Troy, and Odysseus, King of Ithaca, still toils to return home to his wife and son. A host of forces work against him: a beguiling nymph, a treacherous witch, monsters of sea and of land, and—greatest of them all—the will and anger of Poseidon, who knows how to hold a grudge.
Meanwhile, on the rugged shores of Ithaca, Penelope, faithful wife and queen, struggles to keep a horde of impatient, ill-mannered suitors at bay, all while worrying about her son, Telemachus, who sets out in search of the father he’s never known and whose shadow he cannot escape.
Embark with Wraithmarked Creative on a new journey to make their own special limited edition of Homer’s unabridged The Odyssey!
As with all Kickstarter campaigns, however, we need your help to make this special print run a reality. Our goal of $10,000 covers the manufacturing and fulfillment costs of this project, as well as additional cool art and tidbits you wouldn’t usually find in your average book!
We are putting everything we can into making this special limited printing a beautiful addition to your shelf! The unabridged base book will be printed in a ~6×9 in (~15.2×22.9cm) format, and is designed with top quality in mind with high-end offset printing using acid-free paper, a Smyth-sewn binding, and gold metallic gilding on the page edges.
It has an embossed dust jacket with metallic foiling, a reverse dust jacket illustration, and a printed cloth-bound case, all featuring the art of Eleonor Piteira.
Unlike many editions of The Odyssey, the interior layout of this edition is also fully customized, featuring a unique design by STK Kreations. Additionally, it may also feature interior illustrations from Eleonor depending on our Stretch Goals!
We are offering three Kickstarter-exclusive items, meaning these will never be available for purchase ever again! Two custom dust jackets, and one custom protective bookshoe!
As of August 10th, this project has raised $122,000 of their $10,000 goal. This project has 11 days left to raise as much as it can. For a pledge of $65, you will get one hardcover book. For a pledge of $95, you will get one special edition dust jacket book. To learn more and to pledge money, go to: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/wraithmarked/odyssey-1?
