    Hi Jeff and Mike,

    Just an FYI, my listed books were just a joke (its not what I listed on the survey). I was just curious if anyone got the reference, apparently not. At any rate, to the best of my knowledge "Ethel the Aardvark goes Quantity surveying", Olsen's book of Standard British Birds" and Edmund Wells are not real books/authors. A no-prize to anyone who know were these titles come from.

    For the record, what I put on the survey was:

    Red Dragon, Thomas Harris,
    Ghoststory, Peter Straub
    Darkly Dreaming Dexter, Jeff Lindsay
    Hahaha yeah I was preeeeetty sure that Ethel the Aardvark goes Quantity Surveying was a complete joke (we all know that Ethel is a land surveyor!), but I was holding out hope that the bird book would get done. I could only imagine what Paul would do with exotic bird feathers.

    In all seriousness, I grabbed the consolidated list as it was migrated from Mike (he did the heavy lifting) and just removed doubles. I didn't want to make any judgement calls on any of the titles. And I did it all in about 4 minutes. Give or take 4 minutes.

    LOVED Dexter up until that last horrible HORRIBLE season. I really should have checked out the books by now. But the taint of that final season really clouds everything.

    Just an FYI, the only Dexter book that was similar to the series was book 1 (to season 1). I would say that the TV series was actually better then the books though. Hence why I didn't ask for the whole series.

    Good to know. My sister bought me the comics as a gift and I've never looked at them.

    I heard they were considering a Dexter movie. or a 9th season.But since this has nothing to do with Suntup, maybe I should stop this derailment?

    Not until I get to say that the SECOND Dexter book is my favorite. The bad guy in that one does something to his victims I still can't get out of my head. A truly disturbing read. I understand why he never made it to the show.

    The eyes that are being worked on in the Rosemary’s Baby video look subtly different from the ones pictured in the listing on the Suntup site. They appear more menacing, and a little less human. It looks like the angle of the eyelids is what makes it look different, the actual eyes appear to be the same. Paul or Becca, was that intentional or am I just looking at it too hard?

    Hopefully we've peaked enough interests for people to read the series. They are all short, written from Dexter's (who is a real bastard in the books compared to the show) perspective and very entertaining. The first two are the best in my opinion but very different and darker than the show. A Suntup Edition of any of them would be pretty sweet.

    Default Suntup Press

    The lids went through several experimental phases. The mockup on the site is digital and it was how I designed the eyelids in the early stages. Basically, getting the concept across for launch.

    When it comes to physically making the books, in almost every case, something gets tweaked because now we have the benefit of working with actual materials. Of course this only applies when I don’t make a physical prototype. Which was the case with the eyes and the eyelids.

    So when it came to implementing this design, we went through several refinements. For example, placing the eyes under the leather without cutting holes for them in the front panel resulted in them looking too “bug eyed”. So we then laser cut holes and inset the eyes. The result was a vast improvement.

    The same concept applied to the lids. We tried several techniques, ending up with what you’re seeing in the video. And then beyond technique, there is style.

    What “look” did we feel worked best. It was surprising how the entire look of the eyes change based on the shape of the eyelids. Considering various options, I ended up with the more menacing look you see now.

    You compare. You consider. You sometimes look up into the darkening sky for answers; or if not that, a nudge toward this direction instead of that. And with some luck, you find what seems to you, to be that perfect formula. And for the mad hatters behind the curtain, this menacing look seemed to be just that.

    Amazing job with the eyes, Paul! Looks very sinister.

    Books listed on this thread... can you say if one is secured for a Suntup production? Not which one... just tell us IF ONE is happening?

    A quick scan and I see THREE that are happening.

    As for the Watterson debate, there is only one way to settle that. The dice have been rolled.

    The eyes in the digital mock-up said ‘I am evil eyes,’ but with the adjustments, now they say ‘I hate you,’ which is perfect! Very expressive. Thanks for the behind the scenes glimpse.

    I have to agree. They eyes look really evil now. But in a good way. I am just very impressed that something that is cut like this can be done consonantly for each book. I mean having all 26 books look the same takes a lot of work.
    Great stuff as usual Paul.

    I’ve been thinking about one of the survey questions, the one about the importance of letterpress printing. I chose the “nice, but nonessential” option. While I certainly appreciate the process and the result, its added value for me is not the same as that of, say, a leather binding (over cloth), a tray- or slipcase (over a naked book) or more illustrations.

    Here’s my question to Paul:

    If you were to publish Horns again, but printed offset this time, how would that affect your retail price? In other words, how much of that $675 comes from letterpress printing?

    Don’t answer if you can’t or don’t want to - I’m just curious, is all.

    That is an excellent question, and one I've been meaning to ask here myself. So, while I'm here- If Paul chooses to talk about this- can you talk about what letterpress process you've been contracting? I know very little about it, but understand that there are a few different ways to do it now; something with polymer plates? In any case, I also voted for not doing it if it would "considerably" lower prices, as I believe Paul has stated in the past.
