Original ideal can still be achieved with two signed book’s, Paul would have to purchased two flat signed 1st/1st to rebound. I have all the lettered edition and wouldn’t like to see this expand.

"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

Good point. I suppose Paul should keep the "brand" strong and only ever do 26 lettered copies of Dragon Rebound, or a Suntup publishing book.
Perhaps Paul should cancel the 185 (+15) signed numbered, and the several hundred (unsigned) deluxe Misery books that aren't lettered. That way the brand is strong. Are you in favor of that?
Kris, you're great at telling others what to think and do.
Have you ever considered the idea that in order for Paul to do these great things he needs to make a living (profit), and that only doing 26 of any given project is not sustainable?
I consider myself extremely lucky to be a Dragon Rebound member and whatever Paul decides is fine by me.
......just not sure about any actual brain matter being included...

Yes no brains. That was off the cards from the get-go for me.
Kris, answer the question. Are you in favor of Paul only ever doing 26 lettered rebound or published copies so as to keep the "brand" strong?
I'm sure if there is intelligent life somewhere out there in the universe, they are wise enough to stay away from us.
And the people bowed and prayed, to the cell phone god they made...
Paul, would it be possible to split the page block and make it a two volume set for each one? So the stark and Beaumont make up each individual letter? That would be cool
I vote for only 26, but if more are made, I think they should just be designated ‘RC’ copies and not have their own numbering scheme. Just my opinion, though, and we all know what opinions are like...

Kris, you can self edit (delete the contents) of your posts, but once they are quoted by someone else, it's pointless. Leaving a bunch of posts with a "." is no way to contribute to a healthy vigorous discussion.
In the interest of not making this wonderful announcement a downer, I 'm going to attempt to let others comment. Apologies for getting a bit worked up.
<----------Gives self a 10 minute time out.
Paul, congrats on what appears to be another highly anticipated project.
Regarding the limitation, is the specific reason to increase simply an effort to ensure long term financial sustainability as suggested up thread? If that's the case, raise the price on each of the 26 subsequent Lettered editions to accommodate changes in production costs.
If it is to ensure others get a chance to own a Lettered copy my guess is you'd likely need more than an additional 26 to accommodate what appears to be high demand. The cycle and discussion would continue with each new release regarding increasing limitation.
I'd keep at 26. There will likely never be enough made to accommodate every collector.
Simply one collectors opinion....
A few questions if 26 more are done... If there were to be a lottery, would it be open to anyone? Would the number of entrants be capped? I think it could get messy if 500 people sign up and only 26 are selected.
For the Dragon Rebound, I'd like to see Paul continue the cap at 26 Letters. Then maybe offer a limited numbered option of a couple hundred, the limited not necessarily having to be first printings to keep costs down.
I defer to Paul's vision of where he would like to see the Press go into the future though.
Are those in favor of 26 lettered, and no more, pleased or displeased that Paul is doing 26 lettered, 185 (+15) signed limited and several hundred deluxe editions of Misery?
With the initial EOTD Portfolio publication, SUNTUP established multiple tiers of limited editions to include both Lettered and #'d copies, each with different design characteristics and corresponding pricing tiers. With Misery, a like approach has been taken that is consistent with other publishers' approach to the production and corresponding release of Signed, Limited Editions.
From the onset, DRAGON REBOUND has been clear and established a Limitation of 26 Copies on the books it will produce. Again, to date, being consistent with that approach.
Doesn't bother me at all that SUNTUP is providing alternative limitations, and editions (#'d / Gift) as they are two separate publishing companies with established, successful portfolio models.
Simply one collector's opinion....
