Hi John, in response to your previous question on whether to go with the light option. It really should be go big or go home. The goal should never to be to publish just for the sake of publishing. You can absolutely do the light option, but so can everyone else via self publishing platforms.
Imagine what that book will look like in its print for detailed from front to back in its art rendered glory. If for some reason you don't make it to your funding goal, you can always try again and again but personally . . . if this is your first book then you should absolutely try to hit that big goal.
If this is your second or third, then yeah, go for the light option. But for a first time? Make a splash and make it epic.
