Looking for Mister Slaughter S/L #78
Things are going very well. Right now it’s the calm before the storm. Watch for an update soon!Originally Posted by firemonkey66
Congrats all around! Great books bring great people together!Awhile back in the bookcase thread, Becca was asking me if I was going to put my Suntup editions in that! They are really, really cheap bookshelves so my post there was mainly tongue in cheek. Especially since I know a lot of you have really nice cases. I told Becca that I didn't own any of Paul's books nor would I probably ever be able too. She stated to me, "Never say never". Well, apparently she knew something I didn't.
Flash forward to a few short weeks later to my original question. Kris and Chad responded to my request; Kris with a lettered and Chad with a numbered. I told Kris a lettered was way beyond my reach but thanked him for the offer. I figured my next best shot would be for a numbered (depending on the asking price) and that's where Chad stepped in.
I usually don't like to post the details of a transaction except from where or whom I obtained an item. I spoke to Chad about this and said he was ok with it. I'm very glad that he was because I feel it shows the true nature of his character, what an outstanding person he is, and how valuable he is to this community.
Chad could have asked any price he wanted for his extra copy of Hill House but he choose to sell it to me at retail. I was prepared to go a little higher should he had wanted more but honestly, my max offer probably couldn't have gone too much above that. I feel without Chad's generosity, I may not have had been able to get in on the ground floor of Paul's Non-King books.
So, Chad, here's to you, my friend. My copy of Hill House will not be haunted, but rather a reminder of a great person who helped a guy become a member of the Suntup Press family. Hopefully for many years to come for us all.
I understood that. But not until later. I was getting confused because again, to me, it seemed like two separate companies. Your right Becca and I am not complaining. I had my own calculationsJust to clarify, you didn’t have to own the DR EOTD rebound book to purchase Misery… you could pre-order if you owned the Suntup EOTD portfolio which was not sold out when Misery was announced.I am sure Paul has some killer non-King books in store. I didn't understand either that you needed the previous one to get the next one. Having the DR EOTD being first and then needing that to get was confusing to me
a little. And I also learned about this whole company late. But I am not complaining. I am excited as I am sure you are as well.
EDIT: I just want to add that Paul is a stand up guy (plus everyone he works with as well). We have had several conversations and they have always been very nice. He is one of the good ones and again, I can't wait to start the Suntup part of my shelf.
going on in my head. It was my mistake and I own it. I am not blaming anybody but myself.
No worries. Just wanted to point out that DRs EOTD had nothing to do with preorders and that they are separate companies. Maybe having two EOTD products from two related companies confused some people??I understood that. But not until later.

Wanted: Human skin edition of The Book of the Dead. Will accept PC copy.
In my original post I should have said DR EOTD portfolio. That would have made things clearer if I said it that way. Thanks for understanding my mis-understanding.
Got a shipping notice…

"A real limited edition, far from being an expensive autograph stapled to a novel, is a treasure. And like all treasures do, it transforms the responsible owner into a caretaker, and being a caretaker of something as fragile and easily destroyed as ideas and images is not a bad thing but a good one...and so is the re-evaluation of what books are and what they do that necessarily follows." - Stephen King
But it's not DR, the portfolio is a Suntup publication.In my original post I should have said DR EOTD portfolio. That would have made things clearer if I said it that way. Thanks for understanding my mis-understanding

I figured (mistakenly) that since DR did the book that they did the portfolio as well. Again, it was my mistake %100. Sorry if I came off harsh. I feel like crawling under a rock now.But it's not DR, the portfolio is a Suntup publication.In my original post I should have said DR EOTD portfolio.

I'm not trying to make you feel bad Mike. Just trying to clear up that the Suntup editions are different than the DR - since they are only rebinds.

I own letter B, and I've helped purchase the books for the rebound editions.
It's confusing. Don't even worry about it. You are certainly not the only person who is confused by the two efforts.
Doing TEOTD rebound and befriending Mr. Pallidini inspired Paul to start Suntup Press and publish TEOTD portfolio. So the two are intertwined.
The best way to remember is that the rebound books are Dragon Rebound and the original publications are Suntup Press.

You are not making me feel bad. I thought I was making you feel bad. I just got confused that's all. I understood what the rebounds were and I missed out on that side.
Then I mis-interpreted what was needed for getting Misery. Don't worry about Becca. It's all good and again, you are not making me feel bad
Hey Brian. Thanks for the reply. I missed out on Rebound because I was injured and King was the last thing on my mind. And I missed out on Suntup from the beginning simply because I did not know about it. I think I explained why I was confused so no need to do that again. At least I am in Sunup with Hill House. Anyway, all is fine and I apologize for de-railing the the thread.
Apology accepted. Back to other things about Suntup Press.
Just curious, if I am remembering correctly, didn't you need to have a DR EOTD in order to order the Lettered edition of the EOTD portfolio, which in turn was required for the Misery Lettered? Just trying to remember why I didn't buy a lettered copy of EOTD portfolio. Maybe I was too late?No worries.

If you owned the DR EoTD you could preorder the portfolio and match your letter. After that it was open to public sale.

Yes. If you had the DR TEOTD then you had first opportunity to purchase the Suntup portfolio with matching letter.Just curious, if I am remembering correctly, didn't you need to have a DR EOTD in order to order the Lettered edition of the EOTD portfolio, which in turn was required for the Misery Lettered?

The Suntup portfolio gave you the first opportunity to purchase Misery whether lettered or numbered.
"One day you're going to figure out that everything they taught you was a lie."
Yep, to get in on the lettered editions, you pretty much had to be grandfathered-in on the rebounds or purchase second hand.

It didn't sell. High bid of $227.50 with reserve not met.Yeah. Hence my (yet). I wonder where VFB has set the reserve. If it's $200, I'd say that's still reasonable and even on the low end.reserve not meet thoughVery Fine Books is auctioning off one now and the price isn't outrageous (yet).

I figured it wouldn't. It's been relisted with a reserve still. Will be interesting to see if that high bid in now the reserve.It didn't sell. High bid of $227.50 with reserve not met.Yeah.

You don't know my kind.....You don't my mind.....Dark necessities are part of my design.....
That's interesting! Can you change the reserve after your listing goes live?? Because I checked before the auction ended to see where it was and the high bid at the time was $201 and the "reserve not met" message was gone. So I assumed the reserve was $200. Maybe I wasn't paying close attention. I seriously doubt you can raise the reserve once people start bidding.It didn't sell. High bid of $227.50 with reserve not met.Yeah. Hence my (yet).

It's probably $250.Don't see the point of having a reserve. I know it affects the listing price. But just start the bidding at $250!I figured it wouldn't. It's been relisted with a reserve still.

It doesn't make any sense. It cost's money to place a reserve too.It's probably $250.Don't see the point of having a reserve. I know it affects the listing price.
