Philips has a net worth in the billions, $20.67 billion as of July 12, 2023. (Source link) Yet they decided to create a kickstarter, charging “early bird” buyers these earphones that’s designed for wearing while sleeping, basically the same as any other earphones, just slimmed down and cables running around your head.
What’s infuriating is that there’s dumbasses who actually gave them money to make a product ($500 million in total), so Philips is most likely not taking any risk making this, but will enjoy the profits.

I thought the whole point of a kickstarter was people with a product, but lacking the funds to get the project actually going getting a kick start to get going… Not for billion dollar companies to beg for cash.
You might be to late to join the kickstarter but you may be able to get the fancy special edition books. Here is the latest one it is a really good book and has some fantastic art I’m excited to see in the physical book.
If you don’t need the special editions the traditional publisher gets to put out their versions later on so I think you can get 1 and 2 already.
