Suntup Editions

[Randall Flagg]

I love The Dead Zone, (not signed by King, but Easton Press Did A limited), but Different Seasons would be my First choice, Pet Sematary next.
Of course if Paul lucks out, the decision rests with him, and more importantly with Mr King.

I'd like to know about this Joe Blow that Kris mentioned in an earlier post -- his works, possible limited editions, etc.

I'd like to know about this Joe Blow that Kris mentioned in an earlier post -- his works, possible limited editions, etc.

Somewhere I heard his best selling book (at least 10 copies), was JOE BLOWS DALLAS.
Paul can look it up, but personally, not my thing.

:wtf: Ten copies is certainly a limited edition. :wtf:

I was using the figurative name used by Needful Things (Bruce) to describe another writer other than King. Hope that helps.

We now return to seriousness, no...really.

Remember when Steve Allen always said, "And now, all seriousness aside?" on his great TV show way back when? I loved that show.

[Ari_Racing]

Thanks for all the suggestions for a limited book. We have taken note!




That has Ari’s name written all over it :evil:

I hope you're right! :)

Don't worry everyone, if Ari wins, I'll just choose again... :evil:


Now that Suntup got such advertising and funding, I wonder if there will be more DRAGON REBOUND books?

Dragon what?

Kidding... I would like to do more, yeah.. time permitting.

I have never had more fun opening books than I have with Suntup Editions! It's a nice treat, and I'm sure that it really adds up in terms of extra costs and time...

[FlyerPhan0826]

Mine showed up today as well... Absolutely incredible item. So glad that the Misery pre-order made me take the plunge.

Can't wait to add more Suntup items to my collection!

Couldn't agree more. I've always said I'm not a portfolio collector and had no interest in buying any more cardboard/manila folder portfolios. But this one is stellar and has made me a believer in portfolios!

The Lettered Portfolio is perfect. Beautiful.

The portfolio is a pain in the ass.



I'm terrible at unwrapping something, and then attempting to put the wrappings back on properly. Had to ask for my wife's help to return it to its original wrapped condition. :crow burp:

[Dr. Dawg]

I got all of the way down to the paper wrapping and then put it all back together without opening that final layer. I'm waiting until I have time to unwrap and rewrap carefully, but I'm already impressed with the care that was taken putting the package together!

very nice, paul!!!!!!!

[stroppygoblin]

Beautiful.
Also I should formally thank Paul for posting his covers images, without that Misery cover 'sans title' my latest slipcase design wouldn't have been anywhere near as good. It allowed me to see so much more detail (around Annie Wilkes' hair in particular) than the much darker book cover allowed. :thumbsup:

[Beverly Marsh]

My EOTD portfolio arrived yesterday and WOW. How had I not heard about the napkin before? I absolutely love that extra along with the entire package. Which I could also not wrap back up properly so the paper has been folded neatly and placed gently in the box :coo3l: So happy to have this gorgeous item!


That Misery painting is awesome.

[amd013]

Yes, why can't he just do a normal job of wrapping things, so we don't feel guilty about disposing of the packaging. :P

Don’t worry. For the next release, I will just throw it in a cereal box. :smile:

I really hope we get final number. Curious if that number will set the bar or if there will be hype like the IT movie caused on the books and it will drop once it's all out and done.

I think, considering the production quality and limited number, a Misery lettered will easily fall into the ranks of Firestarter, Regulators, Salem's Lot (Centipede) in value.

Hi Paul,

Can you comment on if your next Lettered edition will be for a SK book or not? This would greatly influence how much, if at all, I will bid on the Misery at Betts. I would probably add a little if I knew that got me the rights to a SK book, but other wise, I can't see myself forking out 4K for the next book to hold onto the rights for a potential future SK book.

Thanks,
Mike

I am talking about the next book. If I buy this book for whatever price, and I want to buy the next SK Lettered, but the next Lettered is not SK, then I have to fork over possible 4K for a book I don't want, just to maintain the rights, so there is less incentive to increase my bid for this book, if it doesn't help me secure my next book.

That's why I want to know whether the next book is SK or not.

Paul, is there anything you can tell us about the Barry moser print for the lettered edition of misery? Aka, how you got him involved, subject matter and/or any details about the print, etc.?

This inspired me to open my own copy last night. I had good luck opening the paper wrapper at just one end and sliding the portfolio out that way- I think I got it back together pretty close to how it was shipped. I really enjoyed the intro, afterword, and even the colophon (which pointed me back to appreciate the drop cap illustrations). I didn't realize that the Palladini biography was also signed and number, and I think that is a nice, unexpected touch!

Anthony, thanks for asking this. So much to be said about this piece, and Moser's involvement. I knew very early on that I wanted to include a woodcut in this edition. I love the artistic style of wood engravings, and also that it is one of the most ancient forms of printmaking. You can read more here if you haven't already: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wood_engraving (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wood_engraving), https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Woodcut (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Woodcut).

Barry Moser is a master of this art form, and one of the most celebrated. His works have been displayed in such places as the British Museum, the Metropolitan Museum, Harvard, and the Library of Congress. Look up the illustrations he did for Lewis Carroll's Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking-Glass, or just Google him, and take a look at the engravings he has done in his career. Amazing when you consider these are engraved into a block of wood.

So I contacted Barry way before the book deal was approved, and told him what I had in mind. We had a few more discussions, and he agreed to do it.

I gave him complete creative control and provided almost no direction. I wanted this to be a Barry Moser piece, without any input from me. When he sent me the 1st rough sketch, I made no changes, and the finished piece is perfect. I absolutely adore it.

It is letterpress printed on a semi-handmade Japanese paper called Kitakata, and is tipped into the book on the page facing the title page, which is the traditional placement for a frontispiece. The Arches paper of the book creates a visual frame around the buff colored Kitakata, and the result is very striking.

Here is another picture of him working on it, and then the final piece.

[St. Troy]

No - keep that hat where it is please...

[firemonkey66]

That engraving is awesome and also spot on! I can see why you opted to make no changes. I had been wondering if he would do a portrait of King for the frontispiece, since he does a lot of portraits, and I'm glad to see that he went with an image related to the story, and such an iconic one at that! The wood engraving process is incredible in general, it seems like it's kind of where the world of sculpture and the world of drawing meet for coffee before going their normally separate ways:) It complements the edition on multiple levels.

Fantastic stuff! Thank you for sharing:) I've been poking around the internet looking at Moser's work, he's incredibly talented. I especially like the engravings he did for Mark Twain's Book of Animals. So finely detailed.

I'm a big fan of Escher, too -- I have posters, t-shirts and even a necktie with his designs on them. He's sort of the patron saint of crystallographers because so many of his works show symmetric close packing of identical objects, which is how crystals are arranged.

I was just about to say this! I am not a fan of the 52 letters. Either stick with 26 or just do like 50 and use Roman Numerals and call it a "deluxe edition"...

You are correct. That is indeed a real thing I've seen.

[Randall Flagg]

Perhaps people are missing that King himself may not have wanted , or would agree to 52, 70, 104 "lettered copies". There rarely is a magic number that pleases all parties in rarity, cost access, etc,

Opinions seem to be split regarding 26/52 lettered runs. The only way for more collectors to get in on a future lettered is to run 52 copies. Two things will impact that decision. One is that I have always been against doing a 52 copy lettered, and the other is that the author may not want to do it. I will say though that I do like the idea of allowing more people to enjoy a lettered book. If I ever decided to run 52 copies, it would not be an easy decision to make.

I too favor 26 over 52 but the real key to me is what you are producing. I really hate publishers that put on a new dust jacket and a 'pretty box' call it lettered and charge ++++$$$$.
The lettered edition has to be unique, extra features, extra value, additional art & copy etc....otherwise why bother. For instance, to me, there is no such thing as a "lettered Cujo" they are all the same numbered or lettered who cares? Why on earth would you pay more for the exact same thing because it has a letter?

[biomieg]

I agree. To be fair, the 'classic' lettered editions were never intended for sale so they didn't need to be different. But yeah, it is sort of strange to pay more for a lettered Cujo than for a numbered copy (same goes for Gunslinger and other limiteds from that era).

[Ari_Racing]

My two cents here:

I have my doubts regarding the extra contents of a lettered. More art, in my opinion, doesn't make a difference. TOP art makes a difference. As a matter of fact, somehow I started to grew tired of books with too many illustrations. There are books that I end up not even looking at all the illustrations. I'd preffer a lot less illustrations but from a top artist. And I have one example in mind: Robert McCammon's I Travel by Night/Last Train from Perdition. The books only have one extra plate, but these (and the covers) are from Michael Whelan. If the lettered edition would include two or three more plates from HIM, I'd really make an effort to buy it (and I'm not a lettered edition collector). We reached a point where there are just too many illustrations. Do buyers care about more? Or would it be the same if the book had 5 less illustrations? Last Tuesday I opened Cemetery Dance Salem's Lot's Artwork Porfolio, an item I LOVE. My amazement is bigger with each of David Pallumbo's pieces and I just skipped Glenn Chadbourne's ones, but then I saw one that I never saw before by accident when I was placing all again back in the folder. And do you know something? It was a really nice piece by Glenn Chadbourne. Why didn't I notice this piece before? Because I've seen so many illustrations by Glenn in the last ten-twelve years that I simply grew tired of his works and my brain just skips it. I really would love the publishers risk more when it comes to artists. Show something different! New artists! David Pallumbo is a great example: his pieces for Salem's Lot made the edition even MORE BEAUTIFUL!

I agree that the rest of the production values SHOULD make a difference, but in a balanced and smart way. What Paul imagined for Misery is one GREAT example. It's not only top materials: there's an original idea behind it, a syntony with the story (and it doesn't have to do with the story itself: The Regulators is not one of King's best novels (far from being one...), but the lettered edition (even the signed edition, in this case) has originality, harmony with the story, and is visually appealing to any book collector). But it has to have balance! If the edition has 50 different features all together without balance, harmony, well...most of those features will be lost.

As an alternative for the 26-52 copies, I'm not really sure about how much would a lettered book cost without King's signature, but I do know that, if the price is right, I'd definitively jump in for a lettered edition of Misery or The Regulators without King's signature. I know I'm probably the minority, but I also know I'm not the only one (after all, Dragonbound is not that far away from this idea). Maybe an unsigned lettered edition? Would that be something King won't complain (since he won't have to sign anything)? Would the 26-52 make a major difference in the collectors' point of view in unsigned editions?

Having King's signature in a limited edition is not the driving force behind my collecting habits. For me, it's the book itself. A chance to own (and to enjoy reading) the most deluxe copy available of my most favourite books is what drives my collection.

As an example of this, I recently pre-ordered CD's Artist Lettered edition of The Stand. The fact that this edition is not signed by King, did not faze me. It's one of my favourite King books of all time, so having the chance to own a super deluxe copy of this with the extra production values attached to it, was a no brainer.

Would I purchase an unsigned Lettered edition of Misery if ever given the chance to do so? In a heartbeat and without any hesitation!!!

I'll third this.

My issue with the 26/52 is very superficial: I just don't see the need to use letters as a designation if you're going to do more or less than 26 copies. Just use Roman Numerals or something. But clearly that's not what the market is into, so I should just get used to it.

I am firmly with T-Dogz - what I really enjoy is the composition of the book. The signature is nice, sure, but it's definitely not what drives my collecting. For example, Canterbury Classics reprints works that are in the public domain and their average price is $20-30. Cheap books. But they have done some really pretty ones! Their H.P. Lovecraft compilation is on a stand on my bookshelf because it's cool-looking and well put together. Granted, at $20/book they are not going to have some of the other luxuries of nice books, like paper with a great texture, or marbled endpapers.

http://www.thedarktower.org/gallery/data/984/medium/IMG_52181.JPG

On the other end of the spectrum are Paul's books. The Dragon Rebound books are a great example of the bookbinder's art. All of the parts are just perfect, and the sum of the whole is much greater than its constituents. In fact, it was hearing about Dragon Rebound that caused me to make a major shift in my collection. I decided last summer (after having initially missed the boat on DR) that I so greatly enjoyed having quality books, as opposed to having many books, that I decided to start selling a chunk of my collection and dedicating the proceeds to procuring a smaller number of excellently-produced books. I do not regret my decision! And the lack of a signature in the DR books is not important to me at all.

I think there is a great argument to be made for making more copies of the deluxe books so that more people can enjoy them! Is the value eroded with twice as many copies around? Probably. But I don't collect as an investment and I fully expect my family to get ripped off when they sell my books after I die (because I'm sure not selling them while I'm alive unless something catastrophic happens, or my tastes change significantly). I've been wanted a lettered Regulators forever, and I would happily purchase one without the signature page. And I wish there were more copies so that it would be easier to find one! And in this vein I also find it distasteful when a collector sucks up multiple copies of the same lettered edition from the market, but that's a different rant...

All of that said, I of course respect the wishes of the author and publisher. If an author will only agree to a limited edition of 26, so be it. If a publisher wants to make a truly spectacular, but scarce, edition, so be it. I am just along for the ride :cool:

[swintek]

Agree. More beautiful books for everyone- no limitation. I think it's a real shame that only 26 people- with enough disposable income- will get to put that amazing deluxe edition of MISERY (and, a bunch of other incredible books as well) in their collections. Even more of a shame that many of that select group will not even READ that beautiful book- the whole point! It'll be locked away in an air-tight, no-light-can-penetrate vault until that person dies. Just never made sense to me as a true bibliophile. I know- lots of folks feel differently. It's cool.

Here's a wild idea: Why not make 500 copies (or, whatever the market dictates via the usual pre-order, pre-pay current system) of a signed "deluxe" best-it-can-be edition at $300-$500 a pop. Then offer an unsigned "gift" edition that looks like a great "numbered", say 1,000 copies (or, again, whatever the pre-orders dictate) @ $125-$150 ea.? Too.. socialistic?

To bring this back into focus, this is a really great interview!

I'd like to hear about the circumstances around this. It's actually pretty amazing that two of the best limited edition book craftsmen came together in the first place. Of course everyone here has heard of or seen the lettered "The Regulators", but many of Joe's other books are amazing pieces of art as well. Fully three of his lettered editions are on my Holy Grail list!

I think he has set a pretty high bar, one that Paul looks to clear very early with Suntup Editions... The comparisons between "Misery" and "The Regulators" are very apt, and Ari's comment is spot-on:


I agree that the rest of the production values SHOULD make a difference, but in a balanced and smart way. What Paul imagined for Misery is one GREAT example.

While I very much appreciate the limited editions from the other small publishers, the amount of creativity that these two bookmakers put into their productions is really astounding. I would have liked to be a fly on the wall during that conversation!!

I think that Charnel House is underappreciated precisely because he prices out many book collectors, especially with the lettered editions (and he is very clear that his mission is not to make affordable books). IMO Suntup Editions will probably make more of a splash because (a) the collecting fan base for Stephen King is much larger than for Dean Koontz or Tim Powers, and (b) Suntup Editions has an Artist's Edition that falls in the lower price bracket.

the next one. Just to follow up on some themes. I would not buy a S\L of King's work just because it has his name in it. I have to enjoy the book. That is number one or it has to look special.

I did not mean that. Misery is one of my favorite books. So much more detailed than the movie. I just meant that I would not buy a book that maybe was just OK just because it was signed. I also meant that I did not have enough money to buy even buy the gift ed of Misery. If I did have the money, one would be sitting on my shelf right now. Probably one that I liked, but it's not every ones favorite was Gerald's Game. But I doubt there would ever be a S\L of that. If there was, I would buy that if I could. TBH, I haven't read EVERY King book he has written. I have a certain ones that I read that are favorites that I would get. Then there are others that I have not read, but from what I have heard are really good so I would probably get one of those in a S\L version if it came out. That's all I meant. sorry for the confusion.

[DoctorZaius]

I am pissed at myself over all this.

I had a lettered EOTD portfolio that I no longer needed. I had purchased a numbered one and a lettered one when they first went on sale at Suntup. When Paul was kind enough to later match my number to a newly purchased red numbered Philtrum Press edition of EOTD, I decided to let the lettered go. To be honest, I don't collect lettered editions - can't afford them long term. So, I reached out to a couple of dealers, and David ends up buying it for his own collection. I was glad to help a brother out! Then we both hear about the Misery edition, and how having the lettered EOTD will help secure the lettered Misery, I let Paul know that David has my copy. Low and behold David gets his rights to the lettered Misery - I want to emphasize, this is NOT the one he auctioned off on his website. Then I come to find out I could have made a $8000 profit? Ugh! That would have helped with my own collecting habits.

Let me be clear, I hold no ill will to David or Paul. They both provide great services to the collecting community. This is all my own angst. And I know that some of you will think it serves me right for trying to make a profit, but then that's how I have been able to expand my collection over the years. Enjoy your book David!

Low and behold David gets his rights to the lettered Misery - I want to emphasize, this is NOT the one he auctioned off on his website. Then I come to find out I could have made a $8000 profit? Ugh! That would have helped with my own collecting habits.

Let me be clear, I hold no ill will to David or Paul. They both provide great services to the collecting community. This is all my own angst. And I know that some of you will think it serves me right for trying to make a profit, but then that's how I have been able to expand my collection over the years. Enjoy your book David!
If you bear no ill will, the last sentence ending with an exclamation point seems odd.

[Br!an]

And you were told not to mention it, or am I wrong?

I think we both know that the pre-order window in question was held over 2 months ago, and thus, my purchase was mentioned in passing whilst discussing a different topic. It's hardly a leak of state secrets.

You're making a meal out of a nothing burger and derailing this thread in the process.

I received the CDCC email today. Don't mention it means don't mention it. You were told not to mention it and yet you did. As long as that is clear we can stop "derailing this thread."

[DoctorZaius]

I am pissed at myself over all this.

I had a lettered EOTD portfolio that I no longer needed. I had purchased a numbered one and a lettered one when they first went on sale at Suntup. When Paul was kind enough to later match my number to a newly purchased red numbered Philtrum Press edition of EOTD, I decided to let the lettered go.

I did too! I called Bank of America to see if maybe they thought it was a fraudulent charge. They told me they were having system issues and didn't see that a charge had even been attempted. This partial.ly site is supposed to try again Monday and what if it still doesn't work ? I'm a little concerned here and not sure what to do.
I love and very much appreciate that we can do a payment plan but I really wish PayPal had been used as an option. I've never heard of this other site.

[zelig]

I’m looking into this and will let you know what the issue is. Some payments have failed and some have gone through. Soon as I hear back from the service provider I will contact you directly.

[zelig]

I forgot to add. The important thing is not to panic. :smile:

My biggest concern was you seeing it and thinking the funds weren't available which isn't the case.

Okay, this is all sorted out. Apparently there was a temporary issue with the card processor. We re-charged all cards which were then approved. All's well that ends well.

Finally got my Art Portfolio for The eyes Of The Dragon - what a stunning production, I will have to make some photos to share. Anyway my traycase had a bump and since Im OCD on stuff like that I emailed Paul and asked if they had any extras. He replied right away and sent me a new one.
What a class act all the way - this is exactly the small signs of outstanding customer service that hopefully will allow them to grow his business in the future. Cant wait to see whats coming next.

Very Fine Books is featuring the 1250 Artist's Edition as now available through them for $225. Given that that's double the cover price of a just a week or two ago, I think that's an extraordinary inflation of pricing, to put it politely, but I thought I'd mention it in case anyone missed out on that edition and just has to have a copy, no matter what the price.

I think Dave at Overlook has a couple still available as well if anyone is looking....

All the hubbub with the S/L made me realize I haven't read Misery in waaaaay too long (decades?), so I decided to 'reread' it by listening to it. For anybody that likes audiobooks or wants to give them a try, the audiobook for Misery read by Lindsay Crouse is really good. She does an excellent job reading Annie (so far, anyway, I'm probably a third of the way through) and I find that I like the book even more than I remember. Makes me itch for August to roll around:)

Interesting interview with yet another person I owe money to.

[RichardX]

I seem to recall King wasn't a big fan of the Centipede Salem's Lot due to the size of the book. My recollection is that there were some hard feelings.

[St. Troy]

Short version: He loved it - then he complained about its grandiosity - then he went on to approve many, many limiteds with other publishers, many of which were much more expensive than Centipede's.

Paul, Joe, and Jerad are quite the "big three"! Together they are responsible for some of the most beautiful books out there.

Very cool of you to do these interviews, Paul.

[swintek]

Yep! And, most of those other limited's were not only way more expensive- they were nowhere near as wonderful, either. Oh well, as Jerad says in the interview, that book gave him the seed money to get his great press off the ground.

King's version (during Lilja's interview) also mentioned Jerad contacted him with a new proposal (The Shining) right after Salem's Lot. King's complain were related that it'd never end.
