In case we can exceed the amount of € 650.00 and reach the € 1,000.00 in pre-sales, the book will be edited with national distribution in the main bookstores.
The book will cost € 12.00 per unit. Being that to this value will add the postages of mail, that are estimated in € 2.00. In case the reader resides in the Lisbon area and wants the book to be delivered by hand, you can opt for this mode, in which case the cost will be only € 12.00.
Readers who make the reservation through this campaign will receive a numbered, signed and personalized dedication copy.
"Os que ouvirem minha voz serão únicos, unívocos, singulares. Inadequados. Mais concretamente: não crescerão. Os que escutarem minha voz recusarão o crescimento, recusarão suas sombras ofuscando o redor. "
