Congrats to all who managed to get these two if they wanted them. I'm excited about the March announcement and actually being a current number holder for the first time.
I snagged a War of the Worlds, a favourite book that ihave enjoyed as boy and man.
Happy.
Out of curiosity, how many were made available today?
Now that the dust is settling and we have 6 Invisible Men standing around and the battle is set in the Lettered Lottery, I wonder how many complete sets will exist. How many bought the set outright like wise individuals? How many (like me) bought The Time Machine individually and then bought the subsequent two individually with the goal of a matching set?
I was one of the ones who bought the complete numbered set Jeff. No lottery or lettered of me though.

I bought the set when The Time Machine was announced, and have entered the lottery for the WotW lettered.
In other news, I received my broadside (whew!) and love it! Looking at framing options now, because this is going ip on the library wall. Thanks, Paul for the thoughtful and generous gift to us all!

Now that everyone has their broadsides, could you all shed some light on your interpretation of the quote? I haven’t read the book itself yet, so perhaps it will make sense for me when I do, but I’d love to hear your thoughts nonetheless.
Invisible Man is now out of print. A big congrats Paul. Good luck to all who entered the contest.

I think this explains it
"In addition, The Invisible Man and The War of the Worlds do not include rights to a matching number or letter for our March 2020 book announcement. Only those who purchased Red Dragon will be guaranteed a matching Number and/or Letter to the edition we announce in March 2020"

Those photos are amazing Ron. Really shows the texture of the paper so well. And it looks great in that frame, even without SE!
Go ahead and enter twice if you are not certain. I strip out duplicate entries anyway and no, there's no penalty. (Please don't everyone submit twice now!)
I think it went out at around 25-30 copies.
Only 25 to 30 available today. Wow.
I feel even more privileged now.
I need to make a video opening it.....and suddenly, the lid fell off!!!

In some sense, the entire book is like that for me. More than any book I've ever read, it is more a work of art than a work of fiction...to borrow phrasing from the paragraph, it hums with the mystery of humanity and its tenuous environment, of the love and fear in parenthood and childhood, of both the richness and frailty of life, in a way that no other book I've yet experienced does. It creates characters who hum with life and familiarity, yet we never learn their names...they are us, they are them, they are all we are and all we yearn and grasp to be.
THE ROAD is my favorite book by a long stretch, and while I regret I wasn't able to afford a copy of the Suntup edition when it was published, I'm so pleased that McCarthy's work received the Suntup deluxe, celebratory treatment that it so richly deserves and that Paul's broadside generosity allowed hundreds of us to join that celebration in a small way. I'm not an especially religious man, but when I read the masterwork that is THE ROAD, the experience was undeniably soul-stirring...and now when I look up from my screen and see the framed broadside upon my office wall I remember years ago when it almost seemed as though through THE ROAD I touched the hand of God.
Question for Paul:
When it comes to retaining our number, does it matter if we purchase during the public or private order window? For example, I wrestled with my internal accountant about buying the complete Wells set for so long that by the time I bought The Time Machine it was during the public preorder phase. I assumed since I bought direct from you my number for The Time Machine would match my number for I Am Legend. But a convo emerged on the social media and it woke up my anxiety (not tough to do since my anxiety never sleeps or closes its eyes or relinquishes control of my brain). So I thought I'd put the question to you here in case anyone else's anxiety needed some fuel. Does it matter if it's public or private as long as it's direct from you?
Sincerely,
