Hello! Any chance your new shirts will be for sale at 221bcon?
Yes, they will be, but we will not be offering the same shirt options. There will be limited sizes and probably no ladies style shirts, although we will offer some limited ladies tank top styles in different colors, if we are able to meet our sales minimum before the con.

WOW we have hit 92% of our fundraising goal with only 7 days to go! If we hit 100% by the end of our fundraising campaign, we will give all $75 tier pledgers a free bookplate signed by TPPers! We only need a few more pledges to make this happen! https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/the-three-patch-podcast-book/x/38366889#/
We are over 80% funded and you can still join in to get a guaranteed hardcover copy of this book on Three Patch Podcast and BBC Sherlock fan culture!
Pledge here: https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/the-three-patch-podcast-book#/
For today's Buy Nothing day, consider pledging to the #TPPBook because it only involves only small businesses in Los Angeles: for printing the pages, we have partnered with a small printing shop in LA, and the hardcover book binding will be done by a small business that was impacted by the CA wildfires.
There are only 17 days left to pledge! https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/the-three-patch-podcast-book/x/38366889#/
There are only 18 days left in our Indiegogo campaign! We cannot guarantee we will continue selling books after the campaign ends and if we do, the price is definitely going up to $70+ AND WILL NOT INCLUDE ALL ADDITIONAL PERKS, like shout-out on the podcast. So if you're interested in a copy of the hardcover book, consider pledging asap for the best deal!
As a podcast that highlighted the work and very frequently involved fandom members in the podcast, the podcast and the book is a time capsule of Sherlockiana of the past 10 years. For this next set of teasers, we want to highlight more fandom folks who are quoted in the book! In these teasers, you will see some familiar names, including (BUT DEFINITELY NOT LIMITED TO!)
Remember, there are only 18 days left to pledge at the current price points and perks! Pledge at: https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/the-three-patch-podcast-book/x/38366889#/

The book will officially have MORE THAN 150 pages!
When planning and publicizing this campaign, we were careful to write that while we are planning a 150 page book, we warned that there was a risk that we wouldn't be able to meet that. Well, we shouldn't have worried, because we are officially OVER the 150 page mark! In fact, this book is turning into a 200 page book...
Well that's great for Indiegogo contributors! With a nearly 200 page book, we will need to go back to the printers and get updated quotes. Undoubtedly, the cost will go up, but for now, we are not increasing the prices for this book....yet. IF we ever sell this book in-person, it will likely be a $70+ book (it is currently at $65/hardcover book).
So you are getting an INSANE DEAL by pledging through this Indiegogo campaign. We just need ONE more contributor to hit our 70% funded mark. AND you will be helping support us at this important, early stage.
To entice anyone who is still on the fence, just a friendly reminder, this is definitely a book that contains explicit sexual content :)
For our 60% funded announcement, we would like to point out that we had a *ton* of Sherlock fandom guests on our podcast over the years, and many of them are quoted in our book! Here are some teasers that include quotes from some folks you may recognize: @doctornerdington @meiringal @khorazir, Iwantthatcoat, @geekoncaffeine-blog, and fandom scholars Bertha Chin, Lori Morimoto, and Candace Epps-Robertson.
Our Indiegogo campaign ends in a little more than 2 WEEKS and we will likely NEVER print this hardcover version again, due to how costly and complicated the production is. So reserve your copy today! >> https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/the-three-patch-podcast-book/x/38366889# >>
PRICE CHANGE ALERT:
Due to the LA wildfires and a miscommunication about a production detail, the cost of the book has risen dramatically. On 2/11/25, the cost of Tier 4 (Hardcover book) is going from $60 to $65. If you were planning on getting this tier, get it now! https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/the-three-patch-podcast-book/x/38366889#/
For full transparency, here is how the price change breaks down:
NEW cost breakdown:
Short-run digital printing 100 qty, 150-page book = $6,000 Taxes (9.5% for Los Angeles, California) = $570 Cost of proofs = same as before ($65/copy) Estimated shipping fees = same as before (around $500) Indiegogo platform fees (5%) plus transfer fees, etc. = same as before (around $500) ISBN registration = same as before ($125) ESTIMATED NEW TOTAL COST = $7,860
ESTIMATED PER BOOK COST = $78.60
As you can see, even with the price change, it doesn't cover all of our costs. We will rely on e-book sales and other cost cutting measures to come closer to breaking even, while also attempting to keep the book as affordable as possible.
