Here is the link to the newest KS from Frog God Games.
From what I can gather there is a new team doing the work up. The text basically stays the same with few updates but the artwork is updated. The primary reason is the 2nd printing is nearly gone.

I love the cover! It was what got me to pledge. I have never bought into an OSR rule set so - yeah, love the art all around.
Will the leather cover of this printing be the same design as the leather covered version of the 2nd printing?
Same text with minor changes to game play examples. But there will be two new adventures included.
I'm looking forward to the stretch goals, as this thing funded in less than a day.
I meant the cover. The regular version's cover is changing. Does anyone know if the leather version will be different?

I was just commenting on the kickstarter itself. But Bill Webb wrote in reply to a comment:
"Leather book comes with a regular copy, but no, it is silver foil stamped."
I think that means it will have a reproduction of the new art cover.
What's the approximate page count?
Which leads to thus, what's the (approximate) international shipping? Since Bards Gate was $65 by itself..... so it'd be annoying if this ended up similar.
Here's a post on the Kickstarter which I wrote for BlackGate.com.
Shipping (and stretch goals) isn't up yet. My current Complete Rules is 144 pages. I can't imagine this reprinting, even with two additional adventures, is going to be too much longer. This thing shouldn't be half the size of Bard's Gate.
If you want an approximation of shipping, I'd go to frog gods website and put the current edition in your cart, and make like you're going to check out. It will provide a shipping estimate. If you get just the hardcover (no add ons) the shipping price should be pretty close to that. I am guessing in the 20-25 range for Canada.
Several stretch goals have been added - they've already unlocked the first one (reproduction of the new cover).
