Here are the perks not listed on the Indiegogo site.
I’ll make sure they’re removed as soon as they’re claimed.
Since these are mostly one of a kind items, I’ll award them to whomever’s email I receive first. You can use the email through IndieGoGo or email me at Stefan@readercon.org
All rewards (except one or two enormous ones) can be mailed or picked up at Readercon. Some, like the monster, must be picked up.
