Mine, too! It was a nice opportunity to really think about what I enjoy about limited editions. And yes, I also found the wish list challenging. The top spot was easy, but 2 and 3? How to choose?
I hope you find the feedback helpful, Paul.

Would it be fun if everyone reveals what they asked for?
I'll go first:

I could not think of anything. Well I could, but choose to leave those blank and answered everything else. Pretty cool way to get feedback from his customers. I trust Paul. I am sure whatever books he choose to do are ones that I have heard of and want in my collection. or are new to me and sound so awesome that I want them as well.

My picks
Loving everyone's picks so far! A mix of titles I know and would love to see get the Suntup treatment and new books that I'll have to check out. My top choice was the same as the survey way back when, but I slightly reshuffled my other two...
As a statistician, I'm really interested in the results of the survey. In particular I'd like to see the % of people who answer who are TDT members, and how their preferences differ from the "general public". I'll also note that there's definitely going to be a response bias in this survey - I think that TDT members are going to be more likely to respond than the general public and will probably be over-represented as a result. Also there are lots of open-ended questions which are great for getting good feedback that you wouldn't get otherwise, but are generally hard to quantitatively assess.
RF: After the mention of needing chains for the Brother teaser I was convinced that your first choice was the next book, and have since been thinking more and more that I would really like to see this one make the canon. I love Centipede Press so so so much but this was one of their releases that I think can be improved upon.
I like those first two but would go with The Chain as my third choice. I haven't read it yet but it looks very interesting.
You don't know my kind.....You don't my mind.....Dark necessities are part of my design.....
I wanted to nominate Song of Kali by Dan Simmons, but it was done in a lettered by Earthling Press (only ~14-16 copies) that was perfectly executed. Even Paul would have a challenge surpassing the production quality of that book.
I opted for four books per year when asked. I wonder if Paul and his team wouldn't be working themselves into an early grave if they went for twelve or more, but my bank account and my marriage would not last long at that rate.
As much as I love Suntup, there are other books I want to collect and my daughters need shoes from time to time. Until that Nigerian prince finally pays up, I'm hoping for a somewhat modest release schedule.
I really like that release pre-order/reschedule as well. I plan to be in hock with Paul as long as he's around but more than one payment plan at a time would be a stretch for this average bear.

Agree. That's one of my grails. Will never forgive myself for passing on the Song of Kali/King Rat combo that Camelot had up in early 2018 back because I was worried about being able to resell King Rat
I'm all for Suntup redoing other limited books that didn't reach their full potential but that one's up there with the Charnel House The Regulators and Last Call lettereds, and the Centipede Press roman numeral 'Salem's Lot as being just about un-improvable (which is why they are all on my grail list).
I picked
Butcher Boy by Patrick McCabe
Fight Club by Palahniuk
And Inspection by Josh Malerman (cue the eye roll, I’m sure)
I also opted for four books a year but my greatest preference is for however many keep Suntup rolling strong.

Paul, I want to amend my the answer of how many books to 4. That way you may not feel rushed. If, one year is going great and you can do more, I guess that's OK also. But 4 is a good number. Again, so you don't feel rushed to get out more books than you feel comfortable doing.

Not included in the poll, but a fact of life is that Suntup produces "x" amount of books per year, "x" amount of highest quality cover prints, and Dragon Rebound produces "x" amount of exquisite rebound books per year.
If there are 4 Suntup books (usually a lettered, numbered, and a gift edition), 4 prints (usually 2 sizes, and possible remarques) and 2 rebound books per annum, that is a hefty chunk of change. Expecting collectors to consistently spend $10K a year just for Suntup/Dragon productions is a stretch.
I’d like to also suggest CABAL by Clive Barker.

Mine:
Lion, Witch, and Wardrobe
Hyperion Cantos
The Name of The Wind
With Epic Illustrations like Elric of Centipede Press.
But I have to ask.. what does Dragon have to do with Suntup other than the owner?

A dedicated follower (people who spend their hard earned dollars), buys everything Suntup and Dragon Rebound produces. That means a significant outlay every year.
I suggested the Wayward Pines trilogy too. The books aren't that long so the combined book wouldn't be too cumbersome and I LOVED those books!Jaws... good one. Even Jurassic Park be cool.... but my top pick was:
