I hope by bringing this to light after futile attempts to redeem my backer rewards and possibly bring into question the character of someone prominent in the Tech/Design circles in SV. Designer Founders (http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/785344186/designer-founders-stories-by-designers-of-tech-sta) was the 1st Kickstarter project I put my money to back. It started out as a promising idea that eventually did not fulfil its full potential. The book is still a work in progress and the backer rewards for people who put more than $60 were never delivered. You can see backer complaints under the comments tab.

It’s been more than 15 months and even the Pebble watch, a project that closed its funding later has delivered most of the watches to the hands of its backers.

My initial worry was that they got my mailing address wrong but a tweet verified otherwise. "sorry they're sitting in our closet waiting to get mailed, @blumenfeld is working on it"

So I guess he passed on that responsibility to someone else and its someone else's fault now? Frustrated, I personally emailed Enrique thrice, 1 week apart to request for help on the backer rewards. Not receiving a single reply, I decided to ask for a refund and gave an ultimatum. The entire saga made me think about how someone this prominent in SV can be this irresponsible. I've never met Enrique in person and can't be a judge of his character but I do think he owns all backers a written apology and should either process requests for refund promptly or just mail the rewards out.

If you'll like to help, kindly upvote this thread so the matter could be resolved.
