Suntup Editions

[knightmare]

So, this is a newbie question....what does someone usually purchase to be on the list for Advance Review? Does it come with purchase of a certain edition, or they passed on to trusted folks to consider them and pass on thoughts? I was a research specialist for the professors where I edited dissertations while working on doctorate if that helps me get in the group

It's a very exclusive club, and all memberships are taken. Your best bet is to get in one of the club member's will, so that when they die, the membership is passed on to you.

See that's complicated b/c then I'd be hoping for the death of someone who had put me in their will.

I appreciate that info, I was also asking in a general nature. I know this is the Suntup Thread and obviously that was my primary reason, but I have always wondered how this happens with all books. I've bought all types for years and never even been offered an opportunity to receive an advance reader's copy except once from Grim Oaks & that was with pre-order.

Thanks

In general most review copies go to influential people in the media or who have an association with the project - journalists, book reviewers, bloggers, agents, publishers, editors, etc. With Suntup, if you bought at the Silver or Gold level subscription, ARCs are included.

Makes sense, Thanks! As usual I'm just behind the times, would have certainly bought in at Gold if I had been here before.

Another thing to add to the list of things to do when I finish that time machine I'm working on.

I can tell you that I bought it because I totally wholeheartedly believed in Paul and his mission. Could I afford it? NO. I had never spent this much on anything other than my home! Not even a car... Near $35000 in CAD. We all know now that it was worth every penny but I knew then it was a steal. The lettered selling for $15K for Misery itself... made this all worth while. I do not sell the books.. I keep them. AT first I though I would sell them. Once I started to get them? Nope.... I AM a collector of King and of Paul's work. There is no one out there doing what he is doing. His career is just starting and I love being on the ride with him. Was it a gamble? Not to me... my only issue was how to get the money not whether I should or not.

Yep, I found out about Dragon Rebound about a month ago leaving me behind the curve. I also agree that, particularly with the lettered, I'm finding I simply want to keep them. I do have a bookstore, and always list everything even favorites but I'm not sure if I'll let go of the upcoming Rosemary's Baby lettered. I'll probably list it to show it off and set the market super high.

If I wasn't married, I would have found the money. But a lifetime subscription on top of a divorce was way too much.

Suntup & Dragon Rebound are the 1st book collection part I've shown my wife that she has loved. Everything is usually "meh", but she was floored. This actually helps my marriage

True. My wife is a graphic designer and she LOVED the type treatment in The Haunting of Hill House. She rarely comments on my addiction. So I take it from her reaction that Suntup is an approved dealer. Still, getting her to agree to buy a lifetime subscription before there's a beautiful book to show her, that's a bridge too far. And even after I've shown her. Which is fair. We don't have "for special" money. Otherwise we'd be living in a Frankie Wright house with a Suntup library, furnished with mid century modern furniture.

I would have been happy just with the Bronze. But I wasn't smart enough to think out ahead.

Does anyone have an “Annie” postcard from the Misery swag kit they’d be willing to part with (for a price, of course)? I recently cleaned my office and I seem to have misplaced that one. I have the rest of the swag, just not that one postcard.

If you don’t end up securing one send me a PM and I will mail you one.

I can write you a testimonial for the website

[zelig]

I guess I wasn't entirely kidding. This just arrived. Let's see what we can do with it for Dragon Rebound.

[Munnecom]

Bound in rabbit fur? If you sell it at the original price, I’m in!

Do we have to own Cujo to get it?

This is hilarious, btw. This should have a limited run of 3 copies.

[zelig]

I'm just going to make one of these. Hoping it ends up with Oy. I read the book. Has a very good lesson in there...

I'd love to see a gritty, dark and mature take on this. Almost like Quentin Tarantino had a hand in it

This actually brought tears to my eyes.

[George at C-Springs]

Always love to see a package with that tape arrive! And it's as big as my kitchen counter! Thank you Paul!

[MikeDuke]

Nice looking Archival Folio Box.

[zelig]

Good one George. After sending that email about the boxes being in stock again, there was a run on them and now they are all sold out. More are on order.

[Bev Vincent]

Received an ARC of Rosemary's Baby a few days ago. What a great novel that is.

[George at C-Springs]

Hell yeah it is!

Good one George. After sending that email about the boxes being in stock again, there was a run on them and now they are all sold out. More are on order.

See, now the problem is to figure out how to display it (it's a beast) and to really fill it up with more than the prints I have so far (EOTD, DT III, and Desperation, all remarqued) ... good problems to have. Along those lines Paul, I fired you off an email yesterday evening.

Probably because its getting to the point the first one can't hold any more if you have bought them all so far.

True. Not sure how you all store the prints, but without the backing boards and plastic sleeves, you can obviously get more in a box. It's perfectly fine to store them that way, as long as there is the interleaving glassine sheet between each print.
