That's awesome! Looking forward to all the Suntup taped up goodness that will be arriving in the coming months.

Nice. Very exciting news Paul.
Really looking forward to my S/L of Horns. You just know it’s going to be class.
I can’t wait to see all editions!

Again, I agree and can't wait to add this to my shelf. Very excited.
The book is in a box (enclosure) and that box is in another box (‘mailer’) and then that box is in another box (shipping box). It’s like the book version of a Russian doll!
Looks like I be spending another half hour to undue all the tape and clean up the popcorn. But it will be worth it.
There is no popcorn and the only box that has tape is the shipping box. I’ve moved away from peanuts and use the foam inserts. It’s a good amount of extra prep-work (they need to be designed and die cut to fit not only the book but also a standard size shipping box), but I prefer this method for several reasons.
It’s a lot of extra work and also an expense, but for now that is the plan. It started with the rebound IT. And I implemented it in Suntup from Misery. Not all books will have the printed ‘mailer’ though. For me the foam serves two purposes. Protection during shipment and that of presentation, which enhances the experience.
This is so true! I have never kept boxes/shipping materials before, but so far I have for all of my Suntup editions. It has been fun to share some of the experience of the unboxing with friends/family, when I'm showing off the collection, and it's been a great way to protect the books in the middle of a big move I'm currently doing.
It's very much appreciated, Paul. The packing method you use is second to none, and gives enormous peace of mind to your customers. Unpacking the Misery S/L - my first experience with your method - was a great experience, and a large part of that was recognizing immediately that the chance of any damage in transit was vanishingly small.
Here is a photo of the two boxes.

I’m getting such a Billy Mays vibe from Paul today. I’d say we’re about two more successful launches away from him posting videos of him running over one of his packages with a 58 Plymouth Fury and then opening the package to show zero damage being done to the book inside
“But wait, there’s more!”
As always, thanks for prioritizing customer satisfaction sir
