Suntup Editions

[ICry4Oy]

Ordered the Horns portfolio. I don't even collect portfolios but hate to break up a set.....

[Randall Flagg]

Ordered my HORNS art portfolio the other day. There was never any question about it.

That Lettered THE ROAD video you released today was so very cool. I’m going to pretend my numbered edition is bound the same way.

Cool little giveaway, Paul, no matter what Jerome says. Congrats, guys!

I really was kidding, hence the tongue emoji.

[MLG]

Thanks All! It's a beautiful book.

Pop quiz. I mean pop free books.

I have two copies of the Misery AGE without a slipcase going for the special price of zero dollars. Today only. Get them while supplies last. This deal won't be repeated.. yadda yadda... First two members to reply here (not PM) will get a copy each. Free Media Mail postage in the USA. Outside USA will have to pay postage. Happy Friday. I mean, Happy Thursday.

What a badass :thumbsup:

Wait a second! What did Paul mean by "Happy Friday. I mean, Happy Thursday." ???? It's a goddamned clue is what it is! He could have easily edited that replacing Thursday with Friday since he obviously caught the error before posting! So what does it mean? I'll tell you it means he's doing an edition of Robinson Caruso!

Nah, he is doing a novelization of the movie 'Friday'. Introduction by Ice Cube. It will then be followed by 'Next Friday' and 'Friday After Next' to complete the first Suntup Trilogy.

Could mean nothing at all... Not everything I say has a deeper meaning... Although... now that you mention it, maybe something is happening next Friday... hmmm...


I’m going to pretend my numbered edition is bound the same way.

Although a different binding, I can tell you that each book of the numbered is bound by hand with as much care. The limited will also be a beautiful book.

I took it as a joke, it did put a smile on my face... There's actually a clause in the publisher contracts that covers remainders, and I always gloss over it. Hopefully I won't have to be concerned about that particular part of publishing... ;-0

[MikeDuke]

Yes. Congrats to everyone getting a lettered. I mean that with all sincerity. But I feel lucky that I am getting a numbered ed :).

[Munnecom]

09-08-2019 will mark a year and a day since the publication of Misery, so clearly you are sending every buyer a cake via overnight mail.

I'm partial to apple pie myself.

Oh, that's right. Wow, a year already. Hard to believe.

[peripheral]

Only one year, and you've performed like a veteran. Well done Paul...

[The Library Policeman]

Yeah what a year, Paul. I know you had the EOTD portfolio and the covers collection before publishing Misery, but book-wise, you’ve done absolutely top-notch work!

Really, I could have sworn 8-8-19 was the anniversary of misery.
Never-mind, I misinterpreted your 9-8 to mean Sept. 8th

Yes, 8/8/18 was the date Misery published. I had to move a few mountains to get all three books to drop on that exact date, but it happened.

Aftermarket sales of pre-ordered books, and the associated rights transfer forms have become a little unwieldy. The reason we have this system in place is to give current owners an opportunity to purchase the next book, and lock in their letter and/or number with a private pre-order. I guess that's all obvious. Anyway, using spreadsheets to keep track of all this is no longer effective, so I am in the process of implementing software that will keep track of all this automatically. More on that later.

For now, I have a quick favor to ask. If you are a current registered owner of the Lettered edition of The Road, whether as the original buyer, or someone who bought it from the original or secondary buyer, then please send me a PM with your name, and if you know it, the letter you own. This is just an added level of redundancy to make sure my records match with yours until my new system is up and running.

Much appreciated.

[Hunchback Jack]

The 1 year anniversary of Misery shipping occurred to me a few days ago, too. I have to say, with all the announcements since then, and the third Suntup publication just about to ship, I couldn't believe it's been ONLY a year.

You've made a huge splash in the publishing world, Paul. Congratulations. It's always exciting to see what you have in store next.

Congrats to the winners of the book giveaway and good on you, Paul for offering them up!

[NiceM]

Congrats to the winners of the book giveaway and good on you, Paul for offering them up!
Tnx, im very grateful for this. Now I only need the EOTD portfolio to complete my suntup line with the exception of The Haunting of Hill house as I am waiting for Jerad's Centipede edition at end of this year. The Misery AGE was high on my list and this giveaway by Paul is such a cool bonus!

[MikeDuke]

Congrats on your first year Paul. Looking very much to see what is in the future.

[zelig]

Congrats on your first year Paul. Looking very much to see what is in the future.

Thanks Mike!! But we are in Suntup's third year. I started the press in early 2017 with the launch of Palladini's art portfolio. First book though (Misery) was announced Feb 2018. Work began on that in April 2017.

See, that's why I was in L.D math :tongue1:. No matter how many years you have been in business, it's a good thing.

Just pre-ordered the Horns Art Portfolio. Almost didn’t because I’m trying to cut back on expenses, but the art is amazing and I know I’d regret not having a matching portfolio.

Kudos Paul on another wonderful product!

Would you all please just knock it off with the posts about how you're getting the HORNS portfolio? I'm trying to resist and keep my book budget stocked for the next Suntup book--which is going to be a sequel to SLOB in which Chain Gang and Pinhead team up to kill Jaws. And all you folks chiming in with how awesome it will be to have a matching set are making it damn near impossible to resist! Because that art is wonderful and the set would be spectacular on the shelf--the Numbered, the AGE, and the Portfolio!! GAAAAHHHHHH

Maybe we just want another unboxing video Jeff...

[Munnecom]

Just give in already, man.

“What’s the unboxing? I don’t know, but it isn't the Horns portfolio because I didn’t order that and now someone else has my number and my set will never be complete and I’m sad forever and my socks are always wet and whenever I go to the bathroom at night in the dark, I step on a LEGO brick and the ‘check engine’ light in my car is always on and I miss every green light wherever I go.”

See? No one wants that. We’re all just looking out for you.

[MikeDuke]

Hey Jeff. Just do it. Worry later.

Well, the world will get those whether the world wants them or not. And there will definitely be two HORNS unboxings in the near future. I can't wait to run my fingers down that snakeskin spine! And I'll try to keep my annoying gaspings to a minimum. Seriously, I can't watch my SHINING or MISERY unboxings with all the exclamations I make.

[jeffingoff]

Hahahaha you guys are VICIOUS! I'll need to crawl into a forum submarine to withstand these 20,000 leagues of peer pressure!

[WeDealInLead]

Hahahaha you guys are VICIOUS! I'll need to crawl into a forum submarine to withstand these 20,000 leagues of peer pressure!

You know, even when I was a kid the math in this title didn't add up and then I figured it out; either Verne fudged up or the 20,000 leagues was the length (not depth) of their voyage. You wouldn't be able to feel 20,000 leagues of pressure, that's around five times the depth of Marianna's Trench.

This Marianna sounds like a fun gal.

It is the length of their voyage. It equals approx. 80,000 kilometers. Far too large a distance to be the depth of anything on earth.

Got the "We will soon be shipping Horns by Joe Hill" email. :rock::thumbsup::excited:. Can't wait.

[zelig]

Got the "We will soon be shipping Horns by Joe Hill" email. :rock::thumbsup::excited:. Can't wait.

Yep, Horns will begin shipping very soon.

For those of you who are Facebook friendly, I will be doing a long-overdue live broadcast on Friday August 9th at 9AM Pacific where I will have all three editions to show you (but only briefly so as not to spoil your own experience of them.) I will also have a rare edition to show you which will be part of an upcoming contest. Oh, and there will be news about the next release! So don't miss it. If you're not a FB person, then don't worry, an email will go out afterwards with the headlines.

Totally stoked too, Mike! It's like Christmas in July. Except it's August and it's not Christmas. Unless it's NOS4A2, but it's Horns. So it's not that either......

[jeffingoff]

No jacket required. Any crown I'm wearing is 50% imagination and 50% aspiration. I predict that when I unbox HORNS (twice) I'm going to generate a tsunami of regret in those who passed on purchasing any of the three editions. Their tears will nourish the seeds of resolve or despair. And then they will buy whatever AGEs remain.

[Munnecom]

I’m looking for the Eyes of the Dragon portfolio #158 to complete my set. I understand this is a long shot, but if anyone has any information about its whereabouts, please drop me a line!

[St. Troy]

There's been no end to suggestions made of books for Suntup to produce editions of (not a bad thing), so here's one more (assuming no one has mentioned this one yet):

Danse Macabre. I think, being nonfiction, it would make an interesting choice that opens up opportunities for unusual additions for artwork (perhaps scans of movie posters; possibilities abound) and new commentary (guest afterword/intro etc.), the dream form of which would, of course, be a true update (not a 2-page thing) from King himself.

Shipping will take place in batches, and also based on which edition you ordered, and in what configuration. So if you don't get a shipping notice right away, it will follow along soon.

[Lurker]

Oooh, people with Starry Night hanging should jump to the front of the line...

[swintek]

If one ordered a numbered and a gift- do they ship together, or separately?

[zelig]

If one ordered a numbered and a gift- do they ship together, or separately?

If the numbered and AGE were ordered together on the same order, they ship together. I checked, and you have separate orders for the AGE and numbered, so they will ship separately. Your AGE has shipped. You should have received the notification with tracking.

Staring at, and resisting, the outstanding HORNS art portfolio, I had a thought: it would be wild if Magdalena Kaczan did a Suntup HORNS tarot deck. There's something about her art that strikes me as tarot-quality. The style of her art reminds me of a Tarot deck I used to own.

What is the woodsy-looking item on the left?

What is the woodsy-looking item on the left?

I'll answer this, if NiceM doesn't mind: it's the lettered edition of The Feathered Bough put out by Zagava Press, a German publisher that publishes English-language books: https://www.zagava.de/

FWIW I think they are second only to Suntup Editions in terms of creative output in the English-language publishing world. Like Paul, they use a wide variety of materials including things like salmon-skin, metal, stone, glass, tree bark, etc. The designs are creative and would definitely qualify as "book art". It's mostly weird fiction and the authors that they publish are not very well known (probably the most "famous" is Reggie Oliver). They are definitely worth checking out if you're into books-as-art-objects.

[knightmare]

What is the woodsy-looking item on the left?

I'll answer this, if NiceM doesn't mind: it's the lettered edition of The Feathered Bough put out by Zagava Press, a German publisher that publishes English-language books: https://www.zagava.de/

FWIW I think they are second only to Suntup Editions in terms of creative output in the English-language publishing world.

Dont mind at all. Its a perfect description of Zagava Press which is run by Jonas Plöger. He creates awesome books indeed. Bonus for me is shipping costs are on the right side of the ocean :)

I admittedly didn't know the authors, but the books look great. I reached out to find out about letter requests, but either way there's a couple I could see on my display shelf. I really like the one you have, but my favorite is probably that lettered Suicide Machine. The prices are rather fair, even with shipping and the currency rate.

Back to Suntup....I am also super stoked to see all the editions of Horns, and just trying to keep calm waiting for Friday. Great job, Mr. Suntup!

Seems to be the consensus! …..sorry if I started something....

I should have added a smiley face after that. But yes, I've considered a paperweight for RB, not for Horns. Was going to do one with a scrabble piece for RB. I have not made any final decisions on it though. Will see.

[Munnecom]

I’d be up for that!

Edit:

I’m also in favour of the tarot cards idea.

[Hunchback Jack]

I would love either the tarot cards or the paperweight. A numbered/lettered limitation would be cool. :)

HBJ

[Lurker]

I'd go with tarot cards and save pw for SK books

[Brian861]

The cards for Horns and the weight for RB are great ideas!

[Patrick]

I’ve been catching up on the last few pages of this thread. You guys are quite entertaining. Keep it up.

Congrats on the one year anniversary of the publication of Suntup’s first book, Paul.

Looking forward to the arrival of HORNS and RB including, of course, the HORNS art portfolio.

The tarot card deck is a creative idea. I like it a lot.

At no point in my life have I ever thought I’d be qualified to say, “I curate a small collection of relatively rare and unique snowglobes and paperweights.” Count me in.

Hahaha, I’m always impressed and inwardly horrified at the same time by how Paul handles his books during those videos! He’s tossing them around and leafing through them all fast, it’s like the exact opposite of how I handle my copies. I handle them like how a first time parent handles a baby, all carefully and gingerly, but Paul handles them like a father of 12 picking up his 13th baby, like it ain’t no thing:)

Great video, Paul! And I’m crossing my fingers and toes in hopes of winning that red Horns!

Man that teaser looks mean. And I say that in a good way.

Will there be any "early bird" swag like the penguin or the planchette for this book? I won't be able to place my order right away tomorrow, but I also don't want to miss out...

(To be honest, I'm glad you stopped doing those limited goodies after Hill House. I was lucky enough to get both items, but it made the whole order process a lot more stressful.)

[RC65]

Come on people I came here to see peoples speculation/guess based on the teaser video. Surely someone has figured it out.

My guess is Rex Miller's SLOB:

1). The chains in the video, 2). The "Miller" on the lock, and 3). King hailed Miller's Chaingang series (see cover pic), so there's a loose connection for the King fans.

It was a relatively impactful and influential series for its time, and has enough horror overtones to make it an appropriate fit for Suntup.

I have the Centipede Press HC edition that Jerad did some time back...numbered and signed by Ray Garton (intro.).

I must admit, the lack of a private presale period for numbered edition has me sweating! :D

Question that may or may not be obvious: will tomorrow's release hold the same "laws" of number (and letter) ownership? In other words- if current "Suntup Completists" do not order tomorrow's book- do they lose their future rights? I only ask as it's odd that current number holders aren't given a pre-order window. All fine, but thought I'd ask, for clarity.

Ah. Then I have no idea. I did have a reservation about the guess, though, in that SLOB is not a classic of the genre in the same way that HAUNTING OF HILL HOUSE, the Nobel-winning THE ROAD, and ROSEMARY'S BABY are. As such, it did seem to make it a somewhat unlikely suspect, even if it does echo the teaser video's hints. Sounds like it was just coincidence.

Yep. You would have to order to maintain your first right of refusal for future books. The limitation is larger on this one, so there isn't a special order window. As long as you order within the first day or two you should be fine.

If you decide to pay with the installment plan, you can save time at checkout by registering your Partial.ly account in advance by clicking here.

As someone who would simply not be able to own a Suntup book without the payment plan- I really appreciate this option. On that, I've always wanted to throw in my humble request that the price point for a payment plan be lowered to anything over $300, as $500 is too steep for me- and I'm sure many others- to kick in all at once for any book. I understand that there may be criteria with Partial.ly that dictate how you can or cannot set this up, but- wanted to request it anyway, if possible.

The payment plan will be available on the limited edition of the upcoming book.

[Hunchback Jack]

I didn't see anything for preordering the numbered?

This release is a bit different because there will be more numbered editions available than in previous titles. So there is no private pre-order period for the numbered; it's open season come 9:00am tomorrow morning (Pacific Time). So if you want to match your number, get in quick!

Owners of the Lettered edition of The Road did have a private preorder period for their matching letter of <insert title here>, so they are in the know. I am not one of those people. :P

HBJ

[Lurker]

That sucks.

[Patrick]

I have a matching number on my Suntup Editions. As Paul said in his live video and has repeated on other social media, just order your numbered edition on the weekend and you’ll be fine. They’ll match your ongoing number.

I’ll do this sometime tomorrow, but at 9 am I may not be available and I’m not sweating that fact.

[Munnecom]

Does this mean another permanent increase of the numbered edition’s limitation going forward? You cannot leave all those joining the club for the first time tomorrow in the cold when the next book comes out, right?

[Lurker]

Hmm. I don't know my number. I have three numbered books on order - but since I have not received any of them I don't know my number. I also appreciate time to figure out finances, but that won't happen. I don't facebook so the only video I saw was the one in the email.

[Patrick]

Sure they can reduce if an author only wants to sign a lower number of books, allows only a certain number of copies, or if Suntup feels demand is limited. I doubt that last one is ever going to be an issue though.

I’m sure they can match if you include a request comment in your order or send a note afterward.

This book does have a higher limitation than what Suntup normally publishes. Future books will maintain the 250/26 limitations.

Your number will be matched even if you don't know what that is yet. If it helps, this book is the lowest priced limited edition book so far.

Something different this time (especially compared to The Road) is that there is only 24 hours between the announcement that there will be another book and the pre-order period for the book. Typical periods for other books have been 2-3 days and with The Road there were more than two weeks! That, combined with the higher limitation, and I don't think there are going to be any Suntup collectors here who are going to miss out on their number.

[zelig]

Fear not. Next batch will begin shipping mid next week. Mike is spot on. Just waiting on the Numbered boxes. We’re also shipping based on order configuration. So if you ordered a Gift and Numbered, we will ship together since they have basically dropped around the same time. Same with Lettered and Numbered.

Anyway, crazy day. Haven’t had much time to catch up here. Thanks for the comments.

Funny thing is this is the first book that no one has guessed.

[MikeDuke]

So people who only ordered the numbered will probably get shipped last? I don't care, as long as it is delivered :excited: Like I said, I am glad no one has guessed it. A surprise will be nice. And it's probably a book I don't even know about, which makes it even better.

That’s crazy since the idea for the book came from this Forum. Is it PINES by Blake Crouch? Or a different book by Crouch? Seems that I remember him being discussed.

I’m getting the impression that this is a recent publication.

I’ll find out soon enough.

Thanks for making these announcements such an event.

I think I might have figured it out BUT not 100%... and if so?!?! OMG PAUL... HANDS DOWN... BEST BOOK I READ LAST YEAR. I sure hope I’m right!! Man oh man!!

Given that the private preordering period for the lettered edition is already open, don't you already know what it is, Kris?

Nope lifetime so I just get the book and don’t have to order.

Can't be anything but a Rex Miller book though? Why else the Miller in the video? :confused:
Slob has been mentioned here - could be Chaingang as well.
We'll find out soon enough.

Ha yes! Overlooked that obvious possibility.

Miller on the lock was a complete fluke. And didn’t even make the Slob connection until it was pointed out. :-0

[zelig]

It’s none of the ones just mentioned in the last few comments.

But is Miller.
It is.
It is?

Paul,
Shouldn't you at the very least be giving one more clue by now... :D
Just say'n

The book sounds interesting. I have never heard of it before.

Here's the announcement: :clap:

[jeffingoff]

I'm so excited for this! I've heard nothing but great things about it and I've been meaning to read it. This is badass!

[Garrell]

Ordered :excited:

[Hunchback Jack]

It looks like another intriguing and unique book choice and design, Paul. Congratulations!

(Ordered, of course) :excited:

Were any lettered edition copies available? I didn't notice the link to the lettered page from the limited page until after I'd bought the limited - far too late.

The Lettered sold out during the private pre-order.

[NiceM]

God I love this press. I'm a lucky lettered owner but am very temped to order the limited as well. That walnut paper!!!

[jsweet]

Ugh, that shipping from California is a killer ... at least I know it will be well packaged!

[RC65]

I’ve read it and absolutely loved it. I was excited when Ahlborn announced a short while back that BROTHER was getting the limited HC treatment...but it never occurred to me that it would be by Suntup.

[NiceM]

Paul how far into the numbered are you? Over 250 already?

[Hunchback Jack]

God I love this press. I'm a lucky lettered owner but am very temped to order the limited as well. That walnut paper!!!

It looks amazing, doesn't it? The color and texture of the walnut paper on those boards are just wonderful. And so different from any previous Suntup title.

And so cool that this will not just be the first limited edition of the book, but the first hardcover edition.

ETA: Oh, Ahlborn also wrote The Bird Eater! That's on my to-read list.

[Randall Flagg]

Ugh, that shipping from California is a killer ... at least I know it will be well packaged!
You think shipping sucks, try paying California sales tax (~9%) on a lettered and a numbered. Close to $200!

Try shipping that to The Netherlands which adds another 9% VAT for books:belial:

[Phalucha]

I will stand pat on Rosemary’s Baby and The Road. Not interested in this title.

[jeffingoff]

I think it’s a bold and fantastic choice and now it absolutely makes sense why Paul expanded the print run. Since this is the first limited and hardcover of this book, more people will come for it. Everyone I know who’s read it has loved it.

Though I think this is a perfect candidate for a gift edition as well.

And I’m not so sure people who own a number should wait to order.

Congrats on another wonderful selection, Paul.

The book looks stunning !

But did anybody here know that book? It's the first time I hear about it...

[The Library Policeman]

Another beautiful Suntup production by the looks of it. :thumbsup:

[RC65]

I read it two? three? years ago, and it was one of my favorite reads of that year. I’ve since picked up a couple other books from her, but haven’t read them yet....I’ve heard from others, though, that BROTHER is her best work, and that doesn’t surprise me...it has that feel of something singularly special, when an author has grasped lightning and is fashioning dark magic with it. The book still resonates with me, and some of the scenes are still crystal clear...as someone who reads a great deal but finds not much sticks in my mind — barely remembering the plot of the book I read last week — a book like BROTHER remaining so vividly etched in my mind signifies a work of unique narrative power.

[Dr. Dawg]

Just ordered the S/L along with the paperback from Amazon. Looks like another excellent edition! I love how Paul's choices lead me to read books that I otherwise probably never would have. The description of Brother makes me a little nervous about losing some sleep this week, but it just jumped to the top of my list of what to read next!

Reading it after I finish "The Cabin At The End Of The World".

Wow, that's a great endorsement, Ron. Had never heard of it, nor the author, but have placed my order. In addition to the good things said about the novel proper- the production looks absolutely killer (no pun intended)! Really looking forward to it.

Also appreciate the payment plan option, Paul, but- jeez- over $30 to ship this thing? I may be close to only 30 miles away from you!

I'm super intrigued as well and it just went straight to the top of my audio file. I was going to listen to The Road next but this got pushed up. And I was instructed by a friend that I would be ordering it :lol:

[lotuz]

Just ordered a reading copy of Brother! Looking forward to it, given Paul’s decision to include it in the Suntup lineup as well as the great reviews from some of you guys.

Any word on the Horns contest? I believe the video said that there would be details today, so I probably just need to be patient for a bit :)

[webstar1000]

This was hands down the best book I read last year. I raved about it to. Finished it 2 days. Wow.. so happy to get the suntup treatment on this book!!!

[Hunchback Jack]

I also would not wait long. She's quite a popular author, and I think many of her existing readers will want a hardcover copy on their shelves.

If you want to read Brother on Kindle, it's $5 - and you can order the audiobook for $7.50 more if you want both (which is cheaper than the audiobook alone). I've ordered both and plan to read it before 2020 rolls around!

BTW the lettered endpapers look similar to the paperback cover illustration - was that intentional, Paul?

Anyone who preorders Brother by August 31 is automatically entered for a random draw.

[Joe315]

https://suntup.press/brother

“During the binding of our limited edition of Horns by Joe Hill, we discovered that we did not have enough snakeskins for the last few extras we make for private distribution. So we decided to do something fun and bind these copies in a unique red colored version of the skin! There are only four of these red copies in existence, three of which will remain in-house and this one copy is being offered up as the prize for this contest.

Every pre-order we receive for Ania Ahlborn’s novel Brother will be entered into a drawing, and one of those will be selected at random to win the red Horns! There is one entry per copy ordered, and there is no limit per household so the more copies you order, the greater your chance of winning. Order must be received no later than August 31, 2019 to be eligible.

Gold and Bronze Lifetime Subscribers automatically receive ONE entry into the contest.”

Thanks guys - I missed that!

I have my chance, but I’ll probably just have to make Ari an offer when he wins :lol::cry:

Ditto with the the above, only kindle edition instead of P-back.

[MikeDuke]

Ordered mine as soon as the link went live. Looks like a very interesting book. I think the numbered looks awesome. I am intrigued to getting around to this one.

[Dr. Dawg]

... that red spine, though... itching to get my hands on Horns in the next week or two!

[zelig]

I've finally been able to sit down and catch up on the thread. Announcement days are always hectic. Anyway, thanks for everything and I'm pleased you like the new book announcement. So many positive comments across the windy plains. Ania wrote such a wonderful post (https://www.aniaahlborn.com/post/suntup-press-turns-brother-into-a-masterpiece) about it too.

I also appreciate time to figure out finances, but that won't happen.

There should be no concerns about having time to think it over or plan finances. The increased print run means it won't sell out "instantly". So you have some time.



I'm not even sure myself.
I have 2 Suntup boxes that are unopened.
They've been hanging around for a month or two.

Whilst I can understand the circumstances, (My EOTD portfolio is still boxed, awaiting a suitable location to display it) That has to be a dagger through Paul's heart....:evil:

It's okay. I mean, sure I would prefer that someone who buys my books does actually take the time to open the box and appreciate them, considering the immense effort that went into making them. But I also know the realities of collecting, and I set my expectations in line with that.


Late to the party as I just now had time to sit down and watch the live feed. Paul, your enthusiasm for what you do is amazing and we're so lucky to be able to share that with you. As collectors, I believe we truly are living in a once in a lifetime experience with your press that may never be duplicated. That Lettered edition of Horns is a beast and a holy grail for any crazed Hill fan. Your work and name will live on for centuries, my friend.

Thanks Brian... Lofty words, but I do appreciate it. Before I started that video I said to myself, just go through everything slowly and calmly. Don't get too hyped, etc. But the thing is, I just can'd do it. Once I get started talking about the books, and all the things involved with publishing, well then something else takes over and the result is what you see.. This 'crazed' dude getting all excited about making books.


Also appreciate the payment plan option, Paul, but- jeez- over $30 to ship this thing? I may be close to only 30 miles away from you!

That doesn't seem right. You're up the freeway from me... I'll look into it and issue you a partial refund if there was a glitch.


BTW the lettered endpapers look similar to the paperback cover illustration - was that intentional, Paul?

No wasn't intentional. I didn't notice a similarity with that. Was just going through endsheet options, and came across that one which I thought was perfect.

[Br!an]

Is there a way to watch the Facebook video without Facebook since they won't let me watch it?

Can you put it on your site, Paul? Or YouTube? :evil:

[jeffingoff]

I just read the post she wrote about her book getting the Suntup treatment and it just adds to the thrill of this edition. It obviously means a lot to her that her novel to be among such fantastic books. It's a joy all the way around. As it should be. And it's all part of the Suntup energy. It's just such a thrill watch to watch this press roll on. Way to go, Paul!

There shouldn't be any reason why you can't watch it. I just opened the link in a different browser where I was not logged into FB, and it worked. Try this:

Her post meant so much to me because of the positive impact this project seems to have had on her. Never expected that.

[Ari_Racing]

Congrats, Paul! It looks ASTONISHING, and while I decided not to collect other authors' signed limited editions I'm seriously considering buying it. It looks SO NICE!

[jeffingoff]

Glad you could make sense of my barely-english post. Hahahaha
