I can guarantee that King will NOT sign any possible numbered editions.
Damn that you must spread your reputation more before sending to RF message!!

Oh and you probably have created the highest application to the lottery with that message. 🙋🙋🙋

Paul has already confirmed that the author of the introduction is signing BOTH the numbered and lettered editions.
But that doesn't mean that it will be King. It could also be Hill, Ahlborn, McCarthy, or Harris. I'd say it's a toss up between King, Hill, and McCarthy.
Congratulations on a new sell out Paul! This has to be a new record! 😎👌🏻
A reader lives a thousand lives before he dies
There was exactly 1 minute between the publicly available email and sell out
Congrats Paul. Fastest sell out yet!
Looking for SubPress Lettered:Farseer Trilogy; Shadow of the Wind, Angel's Game, Prisoner of Heaven
Looking for Centipede Press S/L: Dracula
Yeah, the numbers were tumbling before I even got the email. So if you need to get in at the public presale, the better strategy is to stake out the Suntup home page and not your inbox.
I got the email at 11:02CST and it was gone by 11:03
Big congrats, Paul!
Back at it in a month . . .
Wow can’t believe I actually got a copy. My first Suntup numbered. So excited and even more so for next months!
Got mine ordered at 12:01
Wish List:
Any of the following flatsigned or inscribed-
It, Shining, Salem’s Lot, Mr. Mercedes, The Stand
Brother ARC, Seed ARC
Hard not to get caught up in speculation and rumor (especially as it surrounds King), but damn I'm excited for the Bibliomysteries book. I think this is a great tangent for Paul and hope it makes many other collectors as happy as it has made me.
Can i ask why there is so much speculation about king in the next book?

Because of the clues Paul gave:
- Book is 70 years old
So the 70 year dystopian has everyone pointed to 1984.
- signed and introduced by an author he's previously published who hails the book
- visionary work/important dystopian book
The only living authors who he's previously published: Hill, King, McCarthy, and Ahlborn.
King has listed 1984 on several of his top 10 favorite books of all times list (well, I saw it on one list attributed to King).
Wishful thinking.
Ass it all up and we have speculation that has lasted more than four hours. Call a nurse.
EDIT--you could also ADD it all up.
I wish he was King, but there are more possibilities for Hill. Hill could do a double signature for each book. Hill is a good guy.
Ass it all up made me laugh.
Wouldn’t it be amazing if it was all that. Just reread the email from Suntup and confirms the intro author is signing both numbered and lettered.
I think Joe but if either of the other two, it will be wow!
But the current book, looking forward to reading the kindle versions and introduce myself to these authors.
Thanks Jeff.
Edited, to ass: happy if any of those 3, think Joe more likely.

Thomas Harris is another living author that Suntup has published (will publish, technically), though he doesn't fit the bill.
As you've said, King lists the book amongst his favorites. Joe Hill has also given the novel a 5 star review on Goodreads. And there have been scholarly papers written comparing Nineteen Eighty-Four with McCarthy's The Road.
I'd say it's a toss up between the three authors. King is definitely the preferred of the three, but I'd be happy with any of them.
Yep, Jeff and I talked about who the intro author could be and I sent him basically what he just posted. I think it will be a King intro. I also think it's a nice way of people who may have missed out on Misery, to get a book with a King sig in it.
I think in the email that Paul sent out, it said authors that were already published. Red Dragon was not published at that time so I don't think it could be that author. But I could be wrong.
Oh, and Paul, impressive sell out. I don't know how many were left but congrats to those who got one. If you are new, welcome to the club.
