Suntup Editions

[webstar1000]

I avoided your spoiler, but your post has me wondering if I should just get a reading copy NOW? Or should I wait to experience Brother for the first time in Suntup HD?

Too late. I'm getting it Thursday.

You are not gonna want to put this book down once you start it, so you are going to want a reading copy anyway

I agree that it would be awesome to read it for the first time in "Suntup HD" but once you start it you won't want to switch to some other title for the train ride...

Glad someone else has read it. I want to read more by her!!!!

I looked on Amazon and she has a good number of other books. Most seem to have solid 4+ star ratings, and right now I'm debating between her first book, Seed, and her most recent one, If You See Her.

I don’t expect Brother to sell out as quickly as previous editions. As you know, it’s double the usual run for a Numbered, and I’m okay with them slowly being picked up over a period of time. It means we will have something to sell when a new visitor comes to the site, which for the most part hasn’t really happened with previous books.

This is really thoughtful. I can't imagine how many people came to the site a day/week/month too late for any of the previous releases and left empty-handed when they realized that all the limited editions of all the books were sold out. To have a really beautiful book available to buy, and at a lower price point, is very nice for a prospective new customer/collector. It makes it that much more likely that they'll sign up for the newsletter and pay attention to the new releases and eventually score an even-more-limited title... From that perspective, it makes sense to have at least one limited title available as much as possible, and I think doing the occasional 500-copy print run is a great way to make that happen without diluting the very limited nature of the whole enterprise. Awesome example of putting the customer experience first.

Yep to all of that. And I think a print run of 500 is still very low. If it means there will be more books of this quality at this price point, then I'm all for it. It really is a sweet spot. Though it is a thrill to have a numbered HILL HOUSE from the original launch print run of only 185. Not gonna lie, I like how that feels. (I wish I could say the same about MISERY! But I guess I had Chrome issues that day). Anyway, those are just my two cents. As a law, I approve of everything Paul does. So onward!

I am going to read all of her.

Paul, have you read other works by her? Thoughts if so?

[MikeDuke]

Agree with you Lotuz and Jeff. And Jeff, it is cool buying a book on it's initial release.

[MikeDuke]

I looked on her website and her books do sound interesting. I doubt this will be the only book of hers that I read.

Got so much on my reading list but you guys are making me put this on top of the list...

I bought a copy that I got yesterday and read the first couple pages before I went to bed. Definitely pulled me in.

[Dr. Dawg]

For me, Brother has leapfrogged Blood Meridian and No Country For Old Men, which were only on my list because the last Suntup announcement introduced me to Cormac McCarthy....

I received a copy today. I need a good night's sleep. Do I dare start reading it?

You may want to give yourself a free window of time before jumping in. If everyone else's reviews are anything to go by, you'll get sucked in.

Yes.

Highly recommend picking up any of Ania Ahlborn's books. I just finished my 3rd and they are really quite good. If you are looking for others, I just finished The Shuddering (although that deserves a reread when it's 0 degrees and snowing) which was quite enjoyable, but Within These Walls was freaking fantastic. My favorite of hers thus far.


By the way, received my copy of Horns today and it is simply gorgeous. I think I may need to order that portfolio. Nice work, Paul!!!!

Thanks Dez! It feels like years since we connected on here.. Probably not that long...

But... with what rights?
The following book is already sold, so.... does that mean that the buyer has bought each following books, and includes the rights to the NEXT suntup book?
I am confused

[Munnecom]

Rights to the next Suntup King book, probably.

[Hunchback Jack]

Owners of Misery have rights to the next King Suntup release (if there is one). King and non-King Suntup books are on separate rights "tracks", if you will. Owners of Brother have rights to the next non-King book with matching number, but not to the next King book.

[herbertwest]

Ok, so with MISERY came the rights for the next KING books, shall there be one. Is that correct?

[Beverly Marsh]

I must admit I had never heard of this particular book(Brother not Misery )nor it's author before but I am HIGHLY intrigued now. After reading through this thread I decided to download everything by her that's available for kindle. Once I finish my Kealan Patrick Burke marathon I'm going to immediately start Brother. You guys BETTER be right about her!
