Wow wow wow, somehow I overlooked that. As a boy I loved that cover! The only one who came close to my liking was Tom Kidd when he did illustrations for an illustrated release of the book. My dad treated his records like I treat my books so I hope to find it in good condition and will post it here.

Wow, i missed that extra too.

As a boy of 8 i think, my teacher Mr Gardner played one side a day, when it was first released.

My intro to war of the worlds. Boughtit, and Dad loved it too. Worn out so many copies, i couldnt tell you.

I bought a lovely comfy leather chair last year, (if successful) i look forward to reading every single word of that book.

Awesome.

Great pictures! Yes, that is the Hahnemühle watermark, and the sign of a truly fine paper. The paper used in this edition is Biblio, and it will also appear in the Lettered edition of I Am Legend. Here's a quick history lesson:

The Hahnemühle paper mill was founded in 1584 to supply paper to the administrative offices of the Duke of Brunswick. In 1886 the original mill was named after one of its owners, Carl Hahne; his last name is also the German word for "cockerel," which became the company's watermark.

Yes, but the press sheets are 30" x 41", which are then trimmed down to the book size, so you don't see the watermark on every page of the book.

Oh. I wasn't aware if eBay had guidelines against that sort of thing. I assumed it means that eBay can't protect the buyer if the book never materializes since the transaction will take place moths before the product arrives--outlasting the 6 month protection window. So it's a caveat emptor thing.

And I tend to agree that there’s a certain chemistry between the two books which I would be open to encouraging on other people’s shelves. What you do in the comfort of your own bookcase is none of my business. If you posted a pic of the SubPress lettered SOTL next to the exquisite Suntup Red Dragon I would approve and declare it lovely.

But my Suntup shelf is a Suntup shelf.

It's also worth adding that SubPress's lettered edition of Silence of the Lambs is one of the finest productions they've done. It's really pretty extraordinary. Shelving it next to Suntup's Red Dragon would be fitting in so many ways.

I absolutely keep my Suntups together ... but if I ever acquire a lettered Red Dragon, that's the one exception I might make.

(Just my opinion, of course. Jeff is right - how people shelve their books is their business.)

Wonderful video of the process, Paul. I hope no one loses a hand printing these splendid books, though. Makes me wonder anew where that blood splatter in Misery really came from.

I was hoping to have kept this a secret, but now the truth is out.


Cool video. I noticed he is paying attention to his fingers. He double pressed one copy for his finger's sake.

That will no doubt become the variant everyone wants.

Actually, there isn't a double impression. That lever at the right, called a throw off lever, will keep it from making a duplicate impression.

haha I drove it up a bit:)

Yeah a little bit! There's a lot of time left in the auction. I wonder how bad people will want it. It was a must-own for me.

I just want Paul to do all four. I hope Thomas Harris is impressed by his work and wants the set done for himself as well:)

THAT would be amazing. Then I could stop looking at the SubPress SOTL on eBay.

DO NOT bastardize your Suntup Dragon with that book beside it!!!! :onfire:

Yeah I know art is subjective but the SotL just looks ugly. I would love to see it done again by Suntup with the same artist as Red Dragon.

HERESY!

Unless you mean the numbered, which I personally like but I recognize that Arisman's art is not for everybody.

That said, I would love to see Suntup editions of more of Harris's books, especially Silence. My favorite is Red Dragon though so even without another Harris book I feel like the Sub Press Silence and the Suntup Editions Red Dragon have finally done his work justice after all those years without any limiteds.

Did the numbered edition and lettered edition have different art?

They both had art by Marshall Arisman, but unlike most Sub Press lettered editions, there was no dustjacket on the book because they did a knock-out job on the binding and boards. As a result, the books present quite differently. The numbered book is dominated by the Arisman dustjacket, so if you don't like his work you probably won't want to display it. The lettered one is just a beautiful design and all of Arisman's work is internal, so you can display without seeing any of Arisman's illustrations.

Ah ok. Got it. I happen to really like that artwork so it wouldn’t be an issue for me.

Maybe there's an issue at a Chicago hub. The bulk of my packages go through Chicago (or more specifically, Palatine) before they make the trek to me, and I also have not received my broadside.

That's where you get your varying degree of collector. I had many chances to buy the PS King books but I can't stand most of the art and wouldn't want them on my shelf. The only one I find tolerable is The Stand. The obsessive collecter part of me still looks at the PS versions and almost pulls the trigger but I can't. I love Stephen King but don't need the PS versions due to the art.

I'm not sure I follow. The PS Anniversary Editions have been illustrated by the likes of Glenn Chadbourne, Tomislav Tikulin, Jill Bauman, Fangorn and Don Maitz. You NEVER like their art, or only when it's published in the PS Anniversary Editions??

So you are not a King collector that is anyways shape or form a completist. Varying degrees for sure:) I will have every number and letter some day... regardless of the artwork. I love the books... cause they are Kings:)

I hesitated to cover up the Suntup name and date, but the ready-made 5x7 matting and 8x10 frame (which has a charred look that echoes the post-apocalyptic theme of McCarthy’s book) was a fraction of custom, and I think it still looks great.

Hi Paul,

I vaguely recall the lottery, but am not 100% sure I entered. I don't seem to recall the question about if you would buy both or just one, so I now have my doubts. Is there a way to double check? Is there a penalty if I enter twice?

Invisible Man only 15 numbered left. Lettered by lottery
War of the Worlds 13 left numbered left. Lettered by lottery.
They both look awesome. Get them while you can.

Update?
Well I just saw it now so I figured I may not be the only one who noticed that they were both for sale. If it was already announced, sorry for the repeat info.

Happy.

Out of curiosity, how many were made available today?

Now that the dust is settling and we have 6 Invisible Men standing around and the battle is set in the Lettered Lottery, I wonder how many complete sets will exist. How many bought the set outright like wise individuals? How many (like me) bought The Time Machine individually and then bought the subsequent two individually with the goal of a matching set?

I was one of the ones who bought the complete numbered set Jeff. No lottery or lettered of me though.

I bought the set when The Time Machine was announced, and have entered the lottery for the WotW lettered.

In other news, I received my broadside (whew!) and love it! Looking at framing options now, because this is going ip on the library wall. Thanks, Paul for the thoughtful and generous gift to us all!

I wish you good luck in the lottery Peter. And yea, the Broadside is very nice. I will have to frame it at some point as well.

Now that everyone has their broadsides, could you all shed some light on your interpretation of the quote? I haven’t read the book itself yet, so perhaps it will make sense for me when I do, but I’d love to hear your thoughts nonetheless.

It's the last paragraph of the book and to me it represents irreversible loss and a kind of hopelessness that come with beautiful memories of an out-of-reach past.


**EDIT** still don't have my Broadside, but I do have my copy of the Road with me and I just re-read that last paragraph. Like everything else in The Road it gets right to the bone.

I think this explains it
"In addition, The Invisible Man and The War of the Worlds do not include rights to a matching number or letter for our March 2020 book announcement. Only those who purchased Red Dragon will be guaranteed a matching Number and/or Letter to the edition we announce in March 2020"

I have pictures up of my framed ROAD broadside up on Twitter:

https://twitter.com/ron_clinton/status/1227988230206676997?s=21

I hesitated to cover up the Suntup name and date, but the ready-made 5x7 matting and 8x10 frame (which has a charred look that echoes the post-apocalyptic theme of McCarthy’s book) was a fraction of custom, and I think it still looks great.

Those photos are amazing Ron. Really shows the texture of the paper so well. And it looks great in that frame, even without SE!

Hi Paul,

I vaguely recall the lottery, but am not 100% sure I entered. I don't seem to recall the question about if you would buy both or just one, so I now have my doubts. Is there a way to double check? Is there a penalty if I enter twice?

Go ahead and enter twice if you are not certain. I strip out duplicate entries anyway and no, there's no penalty. (Please don't everyone submit twice now!)

I think it went out at around 25-30 copies.

In some sense, the entire book is like that for me. More than any book I've ever read, it is more a work of art than a work of fiction...to borrow phrasing from the paragraph, it hums with the mystery of humanity and its tenuous environment, of the love and fear in parenthood and childhood, of both the richness and frailty of life, in a way that no other book I've yet experienced does. It creates characters who hum with life and familiarity, yet we never learn their names...they are us, they are them, they are all we are and all we yearn and grasp to be.

THE ROAD is my favorite book by a long stretch, and while I regret I wasn't able to afford a copy of the Suntup edition when it was published, I'm so pleased that McCarthy's work received the Suntup deluxe, celebratory treatment that it so richly deserves and that Paul's broadside generosity allowed hundreds of us to join that celebration in a small way. I'm not an especially religious man, but when I read the masterwork that is THE ROAD, the experience was undeniably soul-stirring...and now when I look up from my screen and see the framed broadside upon my office wall I remember years ago when it almost seemed as though through THE ROAD I touched the hand of God.

Question for Paul:

When it comes to retaining our number, does it matter if we purchase during the public or private order window? For example, I wrestled with my internal accountant about buying the complete Wells set for so long that by the time I bought The Time Machine it was during the public preorder phase. I assumed since I bought direct from you my number for The Time Machine would match my number for I Am Legend. But a convo emerged on the social media and it woke up my anxiety (not tough to do since my anxiety never sleeps or closes its eyes or relinquishes control of my brain). So I thought I'd put the question to you here in case anyone else's anxiety needed some fuel. Does it matter if it's public or private as long as it's direct from you?

Sincerely,

Jeff's Anxiety

It doesn't matter. The owner of the previous volume will retain their number as long as they purchase each requisite volume whether purchased during the presale or the public sale.

Hello, everyone.

I own one of the 26 lettered copies of “The Bridges of Madison County,” and I’m wondering if anyone is interested in purchasing it from me. As you can clearly see, I don’t have much of a visible history on tdt.org. (I’ve been more of a reclusive lurker.). However, I have sold some fairly high-priced items directly to a few members on this site, and I’m sure they would vouch for me. Also, I’m zoohim on eBay, where I’ve made some sales and have a perfect buying and selling history. If you’re at all interested in this book, please feel free to message me.

Best,
Michael

P.S.-I apologize ahead of time if I’ve posted this in the wrong place.

Gonna go ahead and say here that I purchased an extremely rare item from Michael several years ago, have purchased several very nice items since, and not only is he a great seller but he ships in perhaps the best packaging I've ever experienced (and that includes Paul's foam inserts).

Congrats!!

I think that this is possibly the Suntup book with the best price-to-quality ratio of anything done so far. Absolutely beautiful and well done in every way - a visual and tactile treat - and at the lowest price available for any Suntup numbered. If you are or have ever been on the fence about this one, definitely pull the trigger now before these eventually sell out!!

Hey Paul, I decided to get my The Shining print signed by Danny Lloyd after examining it closely (which I should have done first thing) I noticed a ding so I thought "why not?" He and his handler were both very interested in Suntup Editions and I gave them the website and told them as much as I could about your lovely books before the folks in line behind me starting getting antsy. I might have sent some new customers your way, not sure but I hope so!

OMG--what if, through all the crazy twists and turns and byways that have radiated out from your interaction with this actor, this turns into a Suntup edition of The Shining. And before everyone groans and rushes over to my channel to thumb down all my videos, let me just say I DON'T CARE that The Shining was done by everyone in the last 10 years or whatever. I don't care. I just don't. And there's no argument you can use against that. Because it takes two to argue. And I'm not arguing. Just ask my wife.

The Centipede Press proposal of The Shining that SK turned down in 2006 should have and would have been the definitive edition. I'm sure Paul would come up with an incredible version as well but if he ever gets another SK opportunity I would love to see Different Seasons receive the Suntup Treatment. DS spawned arguably two of SK's best ever movie adaptations and is a well deserving candidate.

If it were Different seasons, that would practically double the page count of the original book. I guess with the right paper and printing it could be done. Imajica is over 800 pages to begin with so that would probably be easier to stretch to 1,000 pages. Or, that 1,000 page book could be something completely different which makes this so exciting.

I admit that I wasn't thinking of the AGEs here, which are extremely well priced considering their quality! But to me, Brother still stands out. The main reason for this is the handmade Indiana Walnut paper on the boards. And the reason that I think this is so important is also one of the main reasons that I think Dragon Rebound and Suntup Editions are the premier small press English language publishers: creative use of materials.

In my view, most other small press publishers are actually rather conservative in their use of different materials. Everyone knows that they need to use nice paper, it's just a matter of how nice. Same with sewn bindings, which most are doing, though not everyone pays equal attention to the pattern of the head and tail bands that are used. The boards are where publishers seem to experiment the most. Nicer small presses are going to use at least cloth on everything, with varying degrees of quality, and usually include some stamping. Then you get into leather, and, again, the degree here is the quality - from bonded leather to goatskin. And I think that most small press publishers are aware of the differences of all of these choices and try to balance quality and cost to hit a certain price point.

(An aside here: this is also one of the reasons that Paul's "upgrades" are such nice gestures - the books are already paid for, so deciding to add leather where there wasn't leather before, or upgrade materials, is a decision that comes straight out of the profit margins. And yes, yes we all know that Paul was a collector first and the love of books is the driving forces behind these presses, but it still very definitely deserves a mention that there have been several occasions in which a design upgrade took four or five figures right out-of-pocket. He could have gone on a fancy and well-deserved vacation, or maybe bought himself a lettered The Regulators, but instead we got quarter leather for The Road!)

Anyway, I think that publishers are very cognizant of quality for all of these items. We see different kinds of leather in various lettered editions at different price points. Sub Press has gotten quite good at reviving and revitalizing the use of marbled paper boards that for hundreds of years was probably the most prominent mark of a nicely-bound book. LetterPress took stamping to the next level with Revival.

What I don't see from most other publishers, is the type of lateral thinking into using other different kinds of materials for the books (mostly the boards). Joe Stefko at Charnel House did collectors and future publishers a solid in the early 1990s when he started experimenting with embedding things in the boards. The tarot card and poker chips in Last Call, obviously the bullets in The Regulators, which get A++ extra credit for being so crazy as to necessitate some creativity with the box, and still later with the toe tag in Appointment on Sunset. In between there were some interesting moves with mica chips, fingernail marks, stitches, and other cool stuff.

From what I've seen, DRE and SE are the only presses that have really taken this baton and run further with it (though I need to mention Zagava, and have before, but they produce a very different set of authors and come in at different price points). The embedded keys in Misery were a pretty direct extension of that style, but with just perfect design and execution, a pinnacle of the "embed-things-in-boards" technique. But the actual materials being used in DRE and SE, especially in the lettered editions, are wildly inventive - wood! stone! metal! snakeskin!

And this is where the numbered Brother comes in.

The AGEs, as fantastic and well-priced as they are, represent the more traditional differences in quality - they are good in part because they take the traditional materials, and present high quality versions of them at a very nice price. And this is elevated by the design (like the letters on the Misery AGE cloth or the two dustjackets for Rosemary's Baby). But if everything in your collection is bookboard or cloth or leather, and you've never held something truly different, the numbered Brother is going to be unlike any other book you've touched. It's going to open the door of possibility for what a limited edition book can be. And it's precisely this kind of creative use of materials that, to me, elevate a "book" into an "object of art".

I really think if you are a beginning collector, or a collector who stays in the more wallet-friendly range of collecting, or hell, even a more advanced and deeper pocketed collector who might already have a lettered edition, or two, (or dozens!), but has never seen something truly different, then $275 for the numbered Brother is really going to shake you and open your eyes to a new kind of limited edition!

So, overall, I agree that the price-to-quality ratio is very high in the AGEs, perhaps even moreso than Brother, but the price-to-book-as-art ratio (the price-to-wow-factor ratio?) of the numbered Brother is as-of-yet unmatched.

Well, that was 800+ words about the numbered Brother! Did not plan on doing that today :lol:

I've seen a few comments about people being surprised there are copies of Brother left. I can understand that, but it doesn't surprise me at all. I did not expect these to sell out quickly with the elevated print run. Although our customer base has grown exponentially over the past couple of years, it's not to the point where 500 copies of a book priced at $275 will fly off the shelves (of course there are exceptions, like a certain author we know so well.)

If you were to consider the number of units sold of this edition, it could easily be considered our most successful Numbered book to date. There were reasons behind wanting to release this at the higher print run, but as with every book release, we learn something new each time.

I'm not displeased with the sales of this edition. One of the 'good-problems-to-have' early on was that everything was sold out. So when a new customer came to the site, there was nothing for them to buy. I like the fact that there are a handful of editions that you can still add to your cart, and checkout. That's a good thing. It doesn't matter to me if it takes another 6 months or a year to sell out of Brother, but it will eventually sell. Same applies to the others that are still on hand. And when they are gone, there will be more to take their place. I guess that's the way the whole darned human comedy keeps perpetuatin' itself, down through the generations, westward the wagons, across the sands of time until we-- aw, look at me, I'm ramblin' again.

You win major points with the Big Lebowski nod there at the end. And that’s my opinion man.

Also i wouldn’t think anyone sees the copies remaining as a bad thing or a shortcoming. My exasperation is only at the disbelief that people aren’t gobbling up a treasure just sitting there. We all assume people will love what we love. By every measure BROTHER is an indisputable success. And I gotta say the raves here in this thread have me looking at it anew.

Paul, it's fantastic. Pics to come probably this weekend. And I can't wait for the March updates and release of the name of the next book.
And I will add I agree with what Paul said about going to a site and still having
items for sale. I have been to many other sites where everything is sold out and
I am upset because of that. Now, if someone stumbles on to Paul's site they can see
that there are a few things that they can get. Be they a S\L or AE. I just think all of

Thus we now know true value... Around $1500 per copy with rights. As was stated... only 2 bidders past the $1000 mark. Once that person secures his copy.. we drop to about a $1000 which is what I feel this will hold at EVEN AFTER RIGHTS are gone with next book.

No I am not... as I am a completest of all of Kings signed books but you must agree Alec... There could be so much more done with the PS lettereds as they are very close in price to the Misery lettered in price. I fear a two book set is a money grab. I sincerely do... Imagine the book they could do for $4750US! I guess we shall see...

Will not argue with the fact of being a completist and a successful one at that.
On the issue of the two book set I agree people might be divided. However to remain as a matching set (one book for each novel) I believe that PS Publishing would have had to produce a text block of nearly 950 millimetres wide. Some of their books do come up large, Skeleton Crew for instance and the expected Tommyknockers. Thereby I believe the idea of splitting the book makes sense, a text block of that width is going to drop alarmingly.
Let us not lose sight of the fact that without PS we may never have seen this book published as a signed lettered.

Alex,
I am confused too, do you actually think the PS Lettereds are worth the price in craftsmanship, creativity, quality etc....compared to other lettereds like Misery, Salem's Lot, Regulators, Skeleton Crew etc..????
If I slap a King signature page on a book and call it "A" does that automatically make it worth $3000+?? Sadly, I guess it does, people will buy it.
I love limited books but I think as collectors we should hold the publishers accountable to produce a quality product.
I wish I understood why Mr. King signed what he does, he chose to sign the PS editions probably to help them make money. That is the only reason they sell for what they do.

We have a beauty of a Stand as a signed lettered although it is the same as the numbered but it is a beauty none the less. I guess I can understand it is a different idea to do the two books although I am not a fan.. wouldn't it be cool though to see a vial with the hazard sign or what not on it... inset in the book or case somehow? I mean.. something to set it apart. I think that would be cool. I do wish that Paul was getting the amount of books signed that Pete is... I just feel more "love" would shine through my man. That was all I was saying.

No doubt! That's why I made the comment I did about The Shining earlier in this thread. I don't care how many others have done a book, I'll always want to see what Paul would bring to life. Not only is there more quality in the materials, there's more attention to the details and more heart to the concept. More honor to the work. You'll always get more than what you paid because no one cares about the work more than Paul.

He's done so well with everything so far - each book could be the landmark accomplishment of a lesser publisher - that it's impossible to feel any other way.

Hey Paul, out of all the cool
Books listed on this thread... can you say if one is secured for a Suntup production? Not which one... just tell us IF ONE is happening?

A quick scan and I see THREE that are happening.

As for the Watterson debate, there is only one way to settle that. The dice have been rolled.

Revisiting this, out of selfish curiosity. Did anything ever come of this, or deafening silence like so many others who have tried to bridge the C&H gap?

Yes, deafening silence would be accurate. I have explored a couple avenues with this, but more time is required. I am still pursuing it when time permits.

What post number was this from? I was looking for the list of titles that people were asking for and couldn't locate it

Maybe offer to publish a book featuring his post C&H landscape paintings to soften him up!

Kris and Sentinel,
Your comment ‘Slap a King signature on a book and label it A..........’ could not be closer to the truth. Probably whatever the dollars it will sell.
I suppose that is one of the many facets of collecting.
PS Publishing will sell out on this particular production, as I believe they have done throughout the series. Personally I will be delighted to own one.

I never said anything about slapping a signature on any book. I simply meant for that price it would be nice to see more “love” instilled into the book. Two books/cases doesn’t do that for me my friend. I’m sure they will sell out and yes I will get one regardless, However my excitement at this stage isn’t overwhelming. Let us see how it looks when finished. I think there is so many things PS could do with the Stand and by goodness I hope that they do something a little extra for the passionate buyers at that price:)

Lots of good comments, quips, and food for thought the past few pages, but what hasn’t been said in a while is that I’m still holding out for ISLAND OF DOCTOR MOREAU.


Hear, hear! Are you even considering thinking about giving it some thought, Paul?

Okay jeez, I'll do it! Are you happy now!?

YES! Very happy now! Thank you, Paul! This is going to be the best and only H.G. Wells set anyone (me) will ever want or need!

A few extra exclamation points I’ve been saving up: !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well, good to hear. So yes, we will do this book. It's a ways off, but will start the process. A funny coincidence happened today. I was about to hire an artist for an upcoming book, and before we got the contract started, he emails to say that he feels he might be better suited for a book like The Island of Doctor Moreau! Whether that ends up happening or not, I thought it was surely a sign.

I said the line "Slap a King signature on a book..." and we will just have to disagree.

Oh, wow! That's really cool. The fourth book in the Wells Suntup trilogy!

I have my H.G set on order but if Island was printed today it would be the fourth H.G. book of 13 titles released by Suntup. Little much isn't it?
