Fallout Equestria 5th/6th Edition – May Pre-Order Updates

Hey folks, 
It's my great pleasure to finally be able to share finished photos of our latest printing of Fallout Equestria! If you haven't seen them already, check out the updated product page here!

This has been one hell of a journey, and it's incredibly exciting seeing it come together at last. Of course this is the same Fallout Equestria everyone knows and loves, but thanks to changing manufacturers, we have been able to create an even more special version of the book than originally planned. 

Every book now features a real leather cover. Our vegan leather was an extremely nice material, but real leather just has a slightly softer feel that I really appreciate. Of course this was something we pursued for the limited Black Book edition, and we're now able to include it with every copy of FoE. 
Every book now includes a proper slip case, custom built to match. The paper dust jackets were a great option to help protect the books, but the slipcase takes that to another level. 
Every book now has EXTRA THICK spine hubs, for your pleasure, to better match the proportions of the book.
Every book now has rounded corners to match the rounded paper. Again this is one of those small touches that our previous manufacturer simply could not do. I love these small touches that really help set the books apart, and I'm glad this is one we were now able to incorporate. 
The books now feature a thicker paper, with a less glossy feel to help with readability. Because of this change, the books are now about the same size as MN7. That's about the upper limit we envision, and this gives us some good ideas for the future. 

There's also one more change I would like to call attention to: on the copyright page this will be listed as the 6th printing. To go back in history: we were having the communication challenges with our first manufacturer all of 2025. In November/December we started the RFQ process with other companies, finalized our quote late December, and signed our PO early January. This contractually obligated us to two manufacturers at the same time. It was a risky move, but it was the only way to keep the project moving forward. 
In this situation our worst-case scenario would've been both manufacturers printing slightly different books at the same time. So to head off that potential complication, we revised the new book as "v6". Of course, this has now resulted in its own complication. But it was the safer of the options we had. And considering our first manufacturer did not cancel our PO until mid-February, it was the right choice. 

Overall I'm extremely excited to see this printing finally approach the finish line, and I can't wait for everyone to get their books. Right now we are finishing binding, then they need to be shipped across the ocean, then shipped across the country to our warehouse, then we can finally ship them out to everyone. 

We're expecting those slow-boat shipping times will be pushing us into June, and we will keep everyone updated as we have more info.

As always thank you for your patience and understanding throughout this process. It's been a heck of an adventure, and we're getting close to the finish line. 

Cheers,
