So, everybody who donated, gets a free book? The author keeps all of the money , minus commission and printing expenses?

THere were donations from $40 and up, and you could donate more if desired.

Everyone that donated gets at least 4 books in at least one format.

$40 got you 4 eBooks
$60 got you 4 books in eBook and audio format
$160 got you 4 premium hardbacks and one of the other formats
etc...
Up to $500 getting you 4 books in all 3 formats plus 8 boxes of swag that relates to the books. So for this you receive something every month for a year.

plus he donated to 316 other kickstarters that all related to publishing.

When he's done this in the past, the folks that work in the warehouse get short term work, but this is so big that he's planning for them to have an entire year's worth of work.
