Paul needs to get with Sir Mix-A-Lot and rewrite "Baby got Back" to "Baby got Book"

Oh, my, God Becky, look at that book
It is so big...........

I like big books and I can not lie
You other collectors can't deny
That when a book this thick and in the waist
You can't help but it gets in your face
You get sprung, want to pull it down for a look
'Cause you notice that it was stuffed
Baby got book.

OK, I won't quit my steady job.

Dayum. That is a massive book. I mean I could tell that it was a bit larger then the numbered by looking on the website Horns section, but that is a very large book. On the Horns page the letter sure looks
bigger when compared to the numbered. But it looks great. Can't wait to see the final product of this and the numbered and for those who got the GE.

Camelot has the S/L of Rosemary’s Baby available again here (https://camelotbooks.com/books/detail/rosemarys-baby). Perhaps one of their buyers switched to the gift edition when that was announced? If anyone was still on the fence, this might be their last chance before it hits the secondary market.

[George at C-Springs]

If you haven't seen it yet, the latest cover print is out ... DESPERATION. 20 Don Maitz remarques to be assigned AT RANDOM and 3 available for purchase ... make that 2!

[becca69]

One copy of the Limited edition of Rosemary's Baby has become available for those who wanted a copy, but missed out.

https://shop.suntup.press/products/rosemarys-baby-by-ira-levin-limited-edition

[Munnecom]

Camelot still has theirs too.

[MikeDuke]

Nice silent auction over at Betts. The Horns set. A lettered "N", a numbered #131 and a gift ed plus the Morse code book and promo kit are all up for grabs. Starting at $4,000
http://www.bettsbooks.com/w95020ai.html#girl
and running for one week. Good luck to all who participate.

[Ari_Racing]

Today, The Twilight Zone's reboot trailer has been launched. If it's a sucess (I also thing US will be as well), Jordan Peele's signature will be more desired and so will be this book.

[St. Troy]

I just watched it; for the first time, I'm truly tempted to get CBS All Access.

[MikeDuke]

That looks interesting. Look at time stamp :51. Does that remind anybody of anything?

Thanks for posting Tim. Such a great time that was.

I've just returned from a whirlwind two week trip to the U.K. and France, and while there is was great to have had an opportunity to meet up with some forum members. Having been a member here for almost 5 years now (I cannot believe it's been 5 years), one of the highlights is meeting up with fellow members.

Here are a couple more. I also met up with member ianlever, but I completely forgot to take a photo! Great to have seen you Ian.

Here is Jeremy (herbertwest) who I had lunch with in Paris:

And I was delighted to finally meet my good friend Alec for the first time, and see his jaw-dropping collection firsthand.

Nice! More than nice!
Hey, go back to the bookstore. I see some books I want you to buy for me!

Holy cow! Jaw-dropping is an understatement!!!

[herbertwest]

It was very nice to meet you Paul !

Looks like you two were slumming it. I hope you were able to soldier on through the meal. :evil:

The Trilogy of Terror...

[jsweet]

Yikes ... I am very worried. My latest cover print was apparently delivered today and, according to USPS tracking, was "Delivered In/At Mailbox" So ... either folded and mangled beyond belief to squeeze it in or stuck in the six-foot snowbank next to the mailbox, I guess.

[George at C-Springs]

Received this one today; thanks Paul!

Paul,
I will put it in here also but I think you need to update your security certificate on your website.

Agreed, there doesn't appear to be an SSL Certificate in place to secure your https domain.

[zelig]

The SSL cert was up for renewal, it was renewed and the web host sent an email saying it's all set. Called them up, and it wasn't installed. So I guess it wasn't all set... Anyway, it's installed now. Takes about 15-30 minutes to resolve. Thanks for bringing it to my attention.

Yup, I can see the Starfield Tech SSL Cert installed now, you're good until March 11, 2020!

Still getting a mixed content notification though, it's likely you have non-secure images or hyperlinks on your pages. Might be worth investigating.

"Still getting a mixed content notification though, it's likely you have non-secure images or hyperlinks on your pages. Might be worth investigating."
Yep, I see this when I click the site information "i" "Your connection to this site is not fully secure" But the certificate says valid.

Current payment plan is up in April so expect a May release for the next title :)

[Munnecom]

On that note: Paul, can you reveal anything about your proposed release schedule? You announced three books last year, can we expect roughly the same going forward?

I’d hate to blow my book budget on something, only to have you announce, say, the S/L of Different Seasons (wishful thinking here) the very next day...

[MikeDuke]

So Brian, a tease to say what it is before May, pay before May and have the book released in May. Is that what you are saying? I can deal with that. Sorry if I sound like a broken record for this stuff, but my L.D somehow has me blocking how Paul does his thing.

Next announcement vs. release probably would have been a pretty term. Technically, Horns and RB will be released this summer I reckon.

None yet...

[Munnecom]

That’s why I mentioned it. It’s without a doubt my #1 pick for a special edition. Four individual hardcovers, quarter-bound in black leather with gold foil stamping and Japanese cloth in different colours, corresponding to the “season” (green, blue, red and white, perhaps?), heavily illustrated by four different artists, each of whom signs their respective book, in a nice traycase.

Mmmm, I can see it now...

[MikeDuke]

Maybe I am wrong (it happens a lot), but for some reason, I see Different Seasons as a Dragon Rebound book as opposed to a Suntup press book. Don't get me wrong, I think either one would be spectacular, just my personal feelings

Actually, one was done for our Fundraiser, and a private commission of three were done for private collectors. So there are four out there in the collecting world.

I would like to see the same treatment for Different Seasons: four individual slip cased books that would fit into a larger slip case box. Each individual slip case would have the corresponding "season" illustration from the original hard cover dust jacket. The box slip case would have all 4 seasons on each side and back.

This. As much as I love the books- I'd hope that Paul would space them out a little bit. After all, they are UBER pricey. It's somewhat doable for a mere mortal- on the 4 payment plan. But, if those payments start overlapping.. I'm out, unfortunately.

Paul runs a business though guys. He cannot hold back his products so everyone can be in a position to purchase it. To be viable and lasting he needs to put out more than a couple a year. That revenue helps him secure more deals. And thus bigger books and bigger authors. He name and product get noticed more and more thus he becomes a house hold name to collectors. Like say... Subpress is CD. Imagine if we told them to stop making so many books so we could buy them all. Just a thought I’m sharing is all. I hope he does what he can to stay viable and visible in the book market!

This. As much as I love the books- I'd hope that Paul would space them out a little bit. After all, they are UBER pricey. It's somewhat doable for a mere mortal- on the 4 payment plan. But, if those payments start overlapping.. I'm out, unfortunately.

Paul runs a business though guys. He cannot hold back his products so everyone can be in a position to purchase it. To be viable and lasting he needs to put out more than a couple a year. That revenue helps him secure more deals. And thus bigger books and bigger authors. He name and product get noticed more and more thus he becomes a house hold name to collectors. Like say... Subpress is CD. Imagine if we told them to stop making so many books so we could buy them all. Just a thought I’m sharing is all. I hope he does what he can to stay viable and visible in the book market!

Glad you got one Bill. Perhaps is it because I’m a lifetime member? I borrowed that money (I’m Canadian member) and it was $40000 CAD. I’ll be paying that loan for years. MANY years. Because I can’t imagine what other reason you have for your silly comment . Even if I wasn’t I would have common sense on the issue. Which again.. You seem to be lacking here on the subject. Paul is my friend and I’ll support him. Unlike you and your words on his last release. Do you Remember? I have enough on my plate now (thanks for the kind words yesterday though as for some reason you enjoy saying something nice one day and than ignorant the next ) then to deal with you and your moods of Dr. Jekyll and Hyde. Have a wonderful evening Wild Bill.

Excellent post Kris.

[MikeDuke]

I have one S\L book with the next two on the way. I understand both sides of this. Paul needs get his name out there but not everybody can keep up. I will say that what I don't like is the feeling of pressure of getting every book because if you don't, then you lose your number or letter. CD doesn't do that or CP either for the most part. That puts a lot of stress on people who may be able to a few books at a time but not one right after the other. I mean just think about it. People may have paid for two books that aren't even out yet and then are being asked to buy a third. But I am in now and will continue to be. But I understand. It's hard for people to pay out that much money. If they can't, they won't. But they will be out of the loop. If it were me, I might do something like this. Let's say I bought a book and my number was #93. So I then bought a second book so I got #93. But the third book was something that was too expensive or I just did not want. It would be nice if we could contact Paul and say "you know what Paul, book x doesn't interest me, you can sell it to someone else." But the original rights would stick with me. #93 would still be mine. If the next book was something I wanted and could afford I would buy it and keep my #93. That way, I still get my number but I would not feel obligated to get every book. Trust me, I consider Paul a good friend also and I don't think this message would upset him. My reasoning may be totally wrong and that's OK. It just how I feel. But I will continue to support Paul and get all the books I can. Like I said, I consider him a good friend also. So I am either completely right or totally wrong. I can live with either one and I hope this does not offend Paul.

[Munnecom]

That wouldn’t work, though. At least, it would be unfair to the guy who bought your “rejects.” If he is also interested in a certain book, all he can do is hope you decide to pass again - otherwise he’s SOL.

Do CD and CP allow you to retain rights to a number indefinitely, or did I misunderstand your post?

They typically do not. They will guarantee first dibs/matching number for books in a series, or occasionally unrelated books by the same author. But generally, when a new title comes out, it's first-come first-serve for any takers.

HBJ

[MikeDuke]

OK. Maybe I am wrong. I never bought a signed number book from CD or CP so I can't answer that. You can request a matching number from CD. Say, if had a numbered From a Buick 8, I could have requested to match my number if I bought IT. But if I wanted to just buy IT own it's own, I don't think I needed to have From a Buick 8 with a matching number. And hey, if someone does not want my "rejects" so be it. Maybe have a lottery then for the ones that did not sell. And no, he does not just have to hope that I pass. Paul already has an option after the preorders are done for people to jump in. I just don't like the idea of feeling that I have to buy every book even if I may not want it, in the chance that the next book is something that I do want. I just thought it was a good idea for someone trying to get in and at least get one book. And who is say that my reject is book that someone else really wanted. At least they would have one with the chances of getting others. But like I said, I understand if my logic makes no sense. I am not in Paul's buisness so if I misguided with my thoughts, so be it. It's OK. You can flame me, I have my fire suit on. Fire away. I am done for the night.

[St. Troy]

I understand Paul maximizing his revenue (I want him to).

And I simultaneously understand collectors wishing for favorable buying circumstances.

Excellent post Kris.

You guys amaze me. All I did was find humor in a post and express it. I didn't call anyone names or belittle, Kris I simply found his post humorous. He took umbrage with that and I left it for others to make their own conclusions. I thought this forum was here to provide a place for the free exchange of thoughts and ideas. Apparently, if your thoughts or ideas do not agree with that of the majority here its absolutely, okay to demean the member with impugnity. This is apparent in the fact that, Jerome decided to endorse the name calling in a separate post. Yeah, Kris I remember that I had the audacity to express my opinion with regard to, Jordan Peele signing a copy of "Rosemary's Baby" and selling it as a signed limited did not make sense to me. I still don't see the connection, but that is just my opinion. Others thought differently and sold out the edition. So, now that makes me a pariah? And the "things on your plate" didn't stop you from posting in several threads along with this one. I don't see what one thing has to do with the other. Yes, I passed on my sympathetic thoughts for your tragic situation. What you are having to endure sure sucks, but what has that got to do with you posting regarding your business acumen on behalf of, Paul? Also, the fact that I didn't agree with a choice, Paul made in an edition doesn't preclude me from supporting him in his endeavors. I wish him well and all the success he can get. It seems that according to you in order to support anyone you must agree with everything that person does 110%.

You sure got a lot out of a few laughing emoticons. You then proceeded to call me names and demean me in general and, Jerome you endorsed it all. I just don't know what to make of all of this. One thing is for sure, don't express an opinion here unless you're sure it will be liked and accepted by, Kris and/or Jerome that's for sure. True to form around here I'll most likely be banned or put on some sort of a "time out" for having the audacity to attempt to defend myself. It amazes me that I even have to defend myself for a few stupid emoticons and being called names I did not initiate. However, it seems to be the preferred course of action whenever I have an opinion that does not fall in line with, Jerome, Kris or the prevailing sentiment on the site.

[Randall Flagg]

Jesus Christ Bill. You are a drama llama. Kris made a cogent post about the fact that Paul needs to produce a fair amount of books to not only be at the leading edge of small press publishing, but also to literally earn an income. Of course since Kris is a lifetime subscriber, he benefits by Paul publishing more books, but Paul also benefits. To make a living in the publishing world, one needs to publish quite a few books.

Not being privy to Paul's (or Cemetery Dance's, or any other publishers numbers) finances, I'm certain that the profit margins are thin, and in order to make a middle class living, a small publisher has to sell over $200K gross in new books a year just to get by (or work another full time job).


You expressed your opinion (with several emojis-an easy way to say something, but simplistic at best). Kris disagreed with you in a reasonable response. Subsequently I agreed with Kris. No crimes were committed, no names were called (asshole, motherfucker etc. ) so just stop acting like you are a victim. People disagree. End of subject.

You've been one of Paul's biggest cheerleaders, Mike. No one can dispute that. With your count downs to release days/times and sellouts; you leave no doubts, my friend. However, I think it would be too hard for Paul to initiate the plan you suggest. I feel the best option if you don't want a particular book is to sell it once you take possession of it. You can list in the sell that no rights transfer and you're not out anything as far as keeping your number. It's just too big a risk personally to give up a Suntup number and future rights. You never know what Paul has cooked up for us next!

As far as the payment plan. That's the way I pay for my books and I'm very grateful that it's even an option. Otherwise, Joe Blow Purchaser, such as myself, would be SOL. I do hope selfishly that payment plans don't/wont overlap but, if it would come to that, I'd have a decision to make. Like what members have posted above; at the end of the day, Paul has a business to run and a living to make.

[herbertwest]

Another possibility could also be to do not care about having specifically a matching number if you decide that you may not want to buy every single Suntup books?

Exactly. I know same-number sets are a 'thing' for many people but I never understood why. I know collectors usually suffer from OCD in relation to books (I know I do!) but the same-number thing just makes life unnecessary complicated (again, IMO).

[Garrell]

Mine are all same numbered, same numbers as in they all are above 0 and below infinity.

I got you Brian. But the more I think about it, and re-read my post, I see how it could be a totally negative thing. Which was not my intention. I understand that it would be hard for Paul to do what I said. It just sounded great in my head, but I guess not when typed. I did not know that you can sell without selling the rights. Not that I am a seller anyway. You know what, I fucked up with that post so I am going to shut up know since it seems I was complexly wrong. I did not mean for my post to sound so negative, but I guess it was. I was just trying to think of different ways of doing things but I guess I just proved I am an idiot when it comes to this kind of thing. Sorry Paul.

I dont understand either, although it makes sense for a series.
Like The Dark Tower books.

Or for Suntup books.
But except if you know that you will forever be able to buy the Suntup books, why should it matter because you will already not have the whole publishers collection

[Hunchback Jack]

It's not so much losing the specific number, but losing the guarantee of a copy of the next title. If you "give up your spot" by passing on or selling the most recent title, you might miss out on the next one if it sells out during - or very soon after - the pre order period.

Mike, I think your post was fine. One solution might be to buy each title anyway, and then sell them after the next title is announced, but that can lead to cash flow problems even you are buying fewer net titles. It's tricky. Hang in there.

I'm sad to report that David Palladini has passed away. In the last three years that I have known him, we became good friends, and it always felt as if we had known each other a lot longer than we did.

David passed away peacefully yesterday. His closest brother Mario asked me to extend his deepest thanks and blessings, on behalf of himself and his family, to those who supported David's work in the last years of his life. David was at his happiest over these past few years when he realized that there were people out there who appreciated the art he had created throughout his career.

So sad. His work will live on. I just finished teaching Eyes of the Dragon with my freshmen and so many of them commented on how much they liked his work. I took in my Suntup prints and they loved seeing them as well.

My condolences to all his friends and family.

I'm sure it pleased him greatly to have one of his major series of work brought back to the limelight in the past few years! All too often that happens posthumously and I'm very happy for him that he got to enjoy it.

[Br!an]

His work will love on.

Best comment yet! :thumbsup:

I know you were going for "live on," but I think you got it right anyway.

SK submitted SITD to 12 publishers back in 1970 and it was rejected by all. From a historical and developmental perspective I think it would be very interesting to read. There was a sample chapter (71) included in Stephen King: Uncollected, Unpublished that provided an idea of the caliber of writing and it is similar to the other books he wrote at that time, especially The Long Walk. SK scholars who have read the entire manuscript say that it is unpublishable in its current state and SK has said he has no interest in a rewrite similar to what he did with Blaze and will never allow it to be published. SITD is probably not a very good story but if given the opportunity I would definitely read it.

I had no idea this book had gone up in value so much. Last time I checked, they were selling for prices in the $400-500 range, I believe.

Anyone with a lifetime subscription sure made one hell of an investment...

If I’m reading eBay correctly, two copies of Hill House sold recently for $850 (this one came with an EotD portfolio) and $975.

I had no idea this book had gone up in value so much. Last time I checked, they were selling for prices in the $400-500 range, I believe.

Anyone with a lifetime subscription sure made one hell of an investment...

Links? Really? I am unaware of numbers that high

$850 (with EotD portfolio) (https://www.ebay.com/itm/Suntup-Press-Haunting-of-Hill-House-Signed-Eyes-of-the-Dragon-Art-King/163549763865?hash=item2614535919:g:hbEAAOSwJjNcagS O) and $975 (https://www.ebay.com/itm/Suntup-Press-The-Haunting-of-Hill-House-Limited-Edition-LETTERPRESS-SOLD-OUT-/333116399948?_trksid=p2047675.m43663.l10137&nordt=true&rt=nc&orig_cvip=true).

The latter was listed a bunch of times with a starting bid of $750 and a BIN of $975. It didn’t sell for the starting bid on two occasions and suddenly someone paid 30% extra, so maybe there’s something fishy going on there, I don’t know.

Holy cow. Man oh man that is some impressive. I had no Idea...

[MikeDuke]

Wow. So if I am reading this right, one $700 with the Planchete.
one went for $950 by itself. That is impressive. So by itself maybe between $675-$900 to be realistic.
That is impressive. I would be happy with $675+ for the book on it's own. I wish there was a way to keep a record of what the real value it is.

[Brian861]

Did those auctions include rights to the next titles? If so, I could see someone paying a premium.

[cit74]

The next one woulda been horns - so that was presumptively paid for and no mention of it being included in either listing. The $700 sale specifically states that it DOES NOT include future rights; the higher sale makes no mention - but again the next in line for rights woulda been a copy of horns

[Hunchback Jack]

Wow. I'm flabbergasted.

[Beverly Marsh]

This may not be the right place for this but since Suntup has a connection to Jordan Peele what did you guys think of US? Personally, I loved it. He brings dread and creepiness instead of your typical jump scare. Plus the soundtrack and the acting were amazing! I wish I had snagged a Rosemary's Baby gift edition to read his intro( not to mention how beautiful the book will be) but I still need to hold out in JUST IN CASE another King ever gets announced. I did get the Horns gift though!

[webstar1000]

Could there be something today where Paul said new book coming?????????????????

Fantastic movie. It's been discussed down in the Gem Theater and is almost universally well thought of.

[MikeDuke]

One can hope. And I sure am hoping a lot.

[Kingfan24]

I thought Us was a huge disappointment. There was no sense of dread, no sense of tension, and I thought the actions was a little sub par. The actors just didn’t seem to “act” right for the situations they were in. I get it that there was supposed to be levity in the movie at some points but it just was not done well. The twist of the movie is really bad, and makes no sense in the confines of the movie. Even at a deeper level, taking the metaphors and symbolism into account I thought the tropes were tired and inserting a ton of social justice symbolism into a horror film just doesn’t work. I thought Get out was just about the same and obviously if this becomes a recurring theme in his movies I’ll be passing on the future offerings.

[Aronstg]

Okay I'll start the guesses.

The Road

[MikeDuke]

That was my guess also.

[jeffingoff]

The Road

That's all it can be.

I'll be so pissed if I miss out on the numbered.

Same. The road

Announcement on Friday. Video up today.

WHO IS PUMPED IF THIS IS THE ROAD?????????????????????????????????????????????? ???????????????????????????????????????

It's one of the ones that I and I am sure many other people asked for. Very excited.

Definitely THE ROAD. My favorite book of all time...my heart is racing right now. Stunned and oh so pleased. Can’t wait for the announcement to see what is being offered.

I have it but never picked it up. And I haven't seen the movie either. I may have time to read it before this comes out and I do have to get the movie.

[racerx45]

What if this is Paul’s first collaboration? I am hoping this will be a Suntup/Grant release of The Talisman 3, because why not?

I know it's not but it's fun to think about

[MikeDuke]

I did not know he (the author) was involved in No Country for Old Men which is a classic to me. I am really excited about this.

[firemonkey66]

I hope if Paul got Cormac McCarthy on board for The Road that Suntup eventually does a S/L of Blood Meridian. Now that was an effed up book:)

McCarthy has been quoted several times as refusing to sign THE ROAD, save for the X number of 1st ed trade HCs he signed and numbered for his (then ten-year-old) son to sell later in life. So if this edition of THE ROAD is signed, it won’t be by McCarthy. But BLOOD MERIDIAN on the other hand...:orely:

[firemonkey66]

It’s different. It’s one of the most gruesome, but finely written books I’ve ever read. The subject matter is the brutality against native Americans in the 1800s.

I think a sort of retirement plan for his kid. But maybe he’d make an exception for a limited edition vs the first trade edition.

He wrote the book as a love letter to his young son, so for him it remains a private, intimate experience...it’s the only one of his books he refuses to sign for the public. From a Wall Street Journal interview:

——————-

WSJ: Why don't you sign copies of "The Road"

CM: There are signed copies of the book, but they all belong to my son John, so when he turns 18 he can sell them and go to Las Vegas or whatever. No, those are the only signed copies of the book.

WSJ: How many did you have?

CM: 250. So occasionally I get letters from book dealers or whoever that say, "I have a signed copy of the 'The Road,'" and I say, "No. You don't."

—————

That said, there were a number of first edition UK hard covers that included a special publisher’s signed bookplate laid in, but that’s it. Again, though, not really signed, per se, as the book itself was not signed.

Of course, I can’t know for sure…maybe Paul got him to change his mind, but I strongly doubt it.

[MikeDuke]

I doubt it will be signed by him. I have looked up prices on some books signed by him and they are in the thousands of dollar range. An inscribed Blood Merlin is listed at $30,000. But there is another one listed at $1,500. Another book called Suttree is going for $12,000. So I find it hard to believe that this would be signed by him. I am sure it will be signed by the artist and someone else.

[Beverly Marsh]

Even I figured this one out(and that's saying a lot, lol) Sad it's not King :( but happy for everyone that was hoping it was this. You know it will be gorgeous!

[lotuz]

I hope if Paul got Cormac McCarthy on board for The Road that Suntup eventually does a S/L of Blood Meridian. Now that was an effed up book:)

Blood Meridian is one of my top 3 books of all time! I love it. I would kill for an S/L!! But all of Cormac McCarthy's works are top notch in my book, and a limited edition of The Road would be awesome :panic:

This may be mildly blasphemous on these boards, but he's my favorite author :rose::rose::rose:

Like others, I'm having a hard time thinking anything else but The Road based on the teaser...

EDIT: While I would love it to be signed by McCarthy, I'm actually more excited to see what Paul and his team come up with for the designs! I have a number of his first editions, though unfortunately none of the early titles and nothing signed, and if you asked me if I would rather have a signed trade book or an unsigned Suntup Editions book, I'd pick the unsigned Suntup every time :cool:. They're absolute works of art. However, I wouldn't put it past Paul to be able to get a sig, maybe if only for the lettered edition...

The teaser video that was just released pretty much clears up what the book will be.

I didn't know that there was speculation that this release might be CM's "The Road", I haven't been following this thread closely enough it seems - when I saw the teaser I got very excited at the thought that it could be The Long Walk.

I agree. I am sure the design will be great and was wondering the same thing. Maybe signed only for the lettered. Either way I am sure Paul and his team have some great ideas for this book.

[SystemCrashOverRide]

Pulling for The Long Walk

Me too - but I feel like it's incredibly unlikely. The height difference between the two figures in the drawing leads me to believe it's a father and son, not Garraty and another long walker.

That's okay though.

Paul, when can we look forward to a Bachman Book? ;)

That very same thought ran through my head when the video first started and then...the height difference as well.

This will be announced tomorrow and then there is generally a couple of day to handle presales before it goes on sale to the general public.. so you shouldn't have to be chained to your computer tomorrow.

Well, Lori, I reckon Ron just crushed your dreams with all the whole under maintained road bit. I can rest easier knowing I have a parking spot on said road (track). Not so much if it were a King book.

Yeah your right.... owners of Rosemary should get first right. If this is the Road... I bet there won’t be many copies left for public sale!

[peripheral]

I agree with a few others - Blood Meridian is considered McCarthy's masterpiece. If one were to pick a McCarthy to give the treatment, that would be the sweet spot for me (especially if it would mean McCarthy would potentially sign)...

[Dr. Dawg]

I would be thrilled with the Road. I recently read it, and I thought it was great. Bleak, but great. Looks like I'll have to check out Blood Meridian next!

BEAUTIFUL BOOKS PAUL... I CANNOT WAIT.

[Brian861]

Very reasonable prices as well. Congrats on another one, Paul!

Hey Paul or Becca, did you guys try to get McCarthy to sign the edition? If so, what did he say (in addition to the obvious no)? Like did he reference his son or express any regret or anything? Just curious:)

[Hunchback Jack]

I couldn't be more excited about this release. This is a fine book, and I would love to own a limited edition of it. The Suntup editions look pretty great.

[Brian861]

Doubtful, but I'm really hoping to be able to swing a lettered this time.

[becca69]

Yes we did ask for his signature but even though McCarthy approved of our edition, he did not want to sign and we had to respect his wishes. There was no further information provided, however it makes sense knowing what we know about the personal nature of the story and the signed copies for his son. For Paul, even though he would have liked for it to be signed, he felt so strongly about the novel and that it really deserved a special limited edition treatment.

[Scoogs]

I like the use of the Coptic binding for the lettered edition.
A friend of mine frequently makes books using that method, but this is the first time that I've seen a limited employ it.
