Two copies of SP LETTERED edition went back up for sale for The Rise of Endymion.

Incidentally, is anyone in possession of the first 3?
Sup Press is doing 50% off pre-orders so you can get the Summer of Night pre-order for 50% off. ($125)
Thanks for posting!!! That's an awesome deal!
That was one of three I picked up last night. I couldn't at all see picking it up at $250 (and I must not be alone, since copies still remain some time after its announcement), but $125 was just at the top edge of my comfort zone for this title, so I pulled the trigger.
I passed.... but wanted too. I loved SUmmer of Night but thought to myself.. I can remember scenes from IT (which I compare it to) AND the characters and I can't in Summer of Night.. very little compared. AND I read it 8 -9 months ago. Read IT when I was in grade 9.................................

The Collectible Dan Simmons
Surely those who bought this at full pop will be pissed that you can now buy it at half off.
Probably because your brain was better back then.....haha
Such is life. It's a gamble right?
Quite true.
I did buy this (@ the $200?- Subpress "Apology" price) right at the announcement, but, I agree- such is life. And, it doesn't bother me nearly as much as the last time I spent a couple hundred on a few presale books- about 36 hours before a surprise 50% off presale. That hurt.
Yeah that would be a might bit more of a kick in the nuts.
Selling some of my Simmons.

Reading "Drood" and like that one more than expected. Have sort of a love/hate with Simmons. Most of his books are about a hundred pages too long.
This one doesn't get much love, but I loved it!
Received Sub Press limited edition Summer Of Night today. Overall a nice presentation although they missed an opportunity to make it the definitive edition by not including Banished Dreams and Watching The Presidential Debates In Elm Haven as bonus material.
I can't understand why these weren't included. Especially at that exorbitant price. Still waiting on mine, but...
BIG TIME.

I didn't know about those thanks guys, I'll check 'em out.
I am a bit surprised and disappointed they weren't included; I guess I kind of assumed they would be, especially, as was pointed out, at that price point. That said, it wasn't advertised as including it, so I can't complain.
For several years I encouraged Bill at Sub Press to do a limited of SON with the additional material but the timing never seemed right. I even contacted Dan Simmons with the same idea. When the announcement was made that Sub Press was actually doing SON I followed up with both Bill and Dan but received no response. I was hoping the additional material might be added as a surprise but no such luck. It is a well done edition but it could have been so much more with a minimal amount of effort.
Yep, thank you guys for pointing out these stories.

Finally had a chance to sit down and examine the Subpress SUMMER OF NIGHT. This is a very pretty book. A top notch Subpress production, oversize, bound in real premium cloth (that goes a long way with me), heavy-weight paper and great color illustrations, it really is extremely nice. As has been mentioned, it feels like a missed opportunity not to include the relevant supplemental material, but who knows what the story is there. Maybe Bill tried and Simmons didn't feel the need to include it. I was very glad to see Dan's introduction at the front, and overall I am very happy to have it and can't wait to reread (for the 3rd time), this great story.
Incidentally, just noticed that they offered a few lettered copies the other day at $250 off list because they had some glue spots on the traycase (barely perceptible, apparently). Did anybody snag one of these?
