Notes
The first issue had an original print run of 1500 copies done in April 2013. 700 copies were used for advance copies, family and friends. However, the remaining 800 copies were accidentally destroyed in a fire before shipping from the printer. The subsequent "Fire Printing" of Book 1 (as noted in its indicia), is in effect the second printing, and contains art and editing corrections. This was the version available at retailers in wide-release.
The creative effort around this series is a person who self-references as, Farlaine the Goblin. (He?) variously signs his internet posts with either @TreeGoblin (twitter) or @FarlaineTheGoblin (facebook) or just Farlaine the Goblin (kickstarter). Studio Farlaine is listed as the publisher, and is assumed to refer to the collection of one or more creators who are due credit for various roles in production.
Beginning with Book 5, there is a pen name of Pug Grumble in the credits.
