Suntup Editions

[Hunchback Jack]

One consideration I have when evaluating the desirability of a slipcase is whether the covering material of the book is durable enough to withstand multiple insertions and removals from the slipcase. You often see editions that haven't accounted for friction - books and dustjackets get frayed or crimped, or the surface of boards get scuffed, simply because the book wasn't designed to be put in a slipcase. Or if the boards of the book are bound in a few different materials, the "seam" where the materials meet gets damaged because it catches on the slipcase edge.

One advantage of traycases is that you can usually remove a book more easily without worrying too much about wear and tear on the edges of the book.

I will admit that I have a number books that are in tray cases that can be stood upright, and I do like that design. Black House, Desperation, IT, just to name a few. Obviously removing the book is easier. Sometimes with a slipcase it takes a few tries (well at for me) to get the book back in the case. I manage of course but I just am extra careful with those. But I really haven't had any major issues. But if it is going to add a "significant" amount to the total pf the books, I am happy to stick with slip cases.

Wow. It looks menacing just sitting there. If that was goal, mission accomplished. I can't wait until Friday.

[Hunchback Jack]

I know I sound like a broken record saying this, but it's an outstanding edition. The walnut-dyed covers have this amazing texture and patina to them, and the worn look to the lettering is perfect. I haven't yet leafed through the whole book to take in everything. I'll do that soon, though.

(And yes, the slipcase is a nice touch, too :) )

I know why I didn't get the package. My dog scared off the mailman.

I have four packages being delivered today. Informed Delivery states "Animal Interference" as the reason the packages weren't delivered.

It looks like he's spending the afternoon indoors.


No way! It said that??



It says "Delivery Date Unknown" and "Alert - Delivery Exception, Animal Interference."

How big is your dog?:eek:

25 pounds. He looks bigger because of the fur. He's a good watch dog. A bit too good perhaps. :orely:

Kris, I think you and I are a pair of broken records on this because I am forever telling anyone who is remotely curious to read this book!

This was the first Suntup release of a book that I had not read before, and immediately after the announcement I ordered it based purely on the fact that if Paul chose to do it, I was interested in reading it. I think by then you had commented that it was one of your favorite reads of the year.

It lasted less than 24 hours from cover to cover because I simply could not put it down. I think I first heard of the word "unputdownable" from when King blurbed some other author back in the day, and I will say that this is one of the most unputdownable books I've ever purchased.

I thought it was OK as was another of her books I've read, The Devil Crept In. Whether a CD, PS Publishing or Sub Press publication, or higher end publisher such as Suntup or Centipede, if the story itself doesn't resonate or stay with me long after I've finished, it is hard to justify purchasing a limited edition just for the aesthetics. It would be like purchasing a beautiful painting for the sake of its beauty, rather than the passion it invokes. That said, of all the Suntup releases to date I was most tempted by the design of and materials used on Brother. It is an impressive publishing accomplishment.

[kingfan2323]

This may seem weird but I enjoyed Brother and like collecting these partially because I view Suntup books as following Paul's journey in publishing and in life. Brother is part of that journey. Poorly worded comment perhaps but maybe some collectors get it?

Felt that with Brother and The Road specifically.

seeking: anything DT#246, Strange Weather (CD)

[Hunchback Jack]

What I appreciated about Brother was the authors ability to create an environment for their characters which was, on the face of it, extreme and very unlikely, but she made me believe it. She also made believable that characters living in this environment at home, could exist in the outside world appearing as more or less regular people.

And throughout, there’s this feeling that this tension between these two worlds cannot endure. It’s going to end, and the suspense comes from not knowing how it will end.

I liked it, and would recommend it. It’s not a masterpiece, but it was a surprisingly good read. I’m glad that Suntup published it, otherwise I would probably never have known about it.

HBJ

[lotuz]

While I definitely found Brother a page-turner, for a lot of the same reasons that HBJ very aptly describes, I get that tastes vary. And speaking of various tastes, I can't help but bring up the latest Suntup announcement!

So... the second book that Paul is releasing that I have not read is The Bridges of Madison County.

I've definitely heard of it before (due in large part to the movie, I assume), but it's never really been on my radar as a book to hunt down and read. Given its newly found status in the Suntup canon, I've moved it up on my reading list. I'm... cautiously optimistic? I can definitely say that if it wasn't going to be a Suntup release I probably never would have planned to read it. But maybe I'll love it? Maybe I won't?? I wouldn't consider myself a fan of "romances", per se, but there are an awful lot of good books that have romantic elements, or center around romantic relationships, so I'm definitely not going to write a book off just because of those.

I will say that I was definitely thrown for a loop here. In a great way! There are two publishers other than Suntup Editions who I take their mark as the sign of a good book. The first is Centipede Press. If Jerad is willing to publish it, I'm willing to give it a shot. And in all the books that I've read because of that, I've only had one book that I just did not like (The Well, by Jack Cady). The other is the New York Review of Books. They have published so so so many more, and so there's a whole lot I haven't read, but their hit rate is really high! And the books are very wide-ranging in their material. Lots of genre fiction, some classics, a lot of great foreign translations that I never would have heard of otherwise. I think it's really cool that SE is branching out. While I of course hope that Paul continues with horror/dystopian/sci-fi stuff - I like the idea of jumping off to other areas. Maybe not as a focus (I can't image an SE that doesn't publish horror), but as something different now and then.

Would be curious if anyone has read or has an opinion about Bridges...

[kingfan2323]

Bridges is not a great read or writing, rings a little bit amateurish, AND one of the biggest phenomenon in the history of publishing. Crazy how big it became. Brave as hell pick by Paul too.

It may be sacrilege, but I thought "Brother" was/is a fair story 3/6 beers on the RFSRS (Randall Flagg six pack rating system). Though it was a quick and compelling read, in my mind it had no redeeming qualities.

[Br!an]

I read a chapter of Bridges. Enough said.

"Compelling" gets a lot of mileage from me these days. It's definitely not an indicator of "quality" - I find the Jack Reacher books utterly compelling but not of particularly high quality - but for a book to totally pull me out of the real world and make me want to skip work and sleep in order to finish it, that's not so common for me now.

...

So definitely not a lot of love so far for Bridges! Will be curious as more people chime in. Looking at reviews, I see that the film is particularly well reviewed (7.6 on IMDB, 90% on Rotten Tomatoes, 3.5/4 stars from Ebert) but I don't see as many book reviews - just a lot of mentions that it is a best-seller, which is in and of itself a meta-review, of sorts.

Hate is a strong word, just didn't care for it. Definitely agree that everyone should read books, any book and form their own opinions. I think we've :deadhorse: this enough.

Let's focus on why we're really here. To appreciate and praise Paul and company for the amazing job they are doing. Brother is another great production and as with any Suntup, has to be held to be appreciated.

Now, who wants to trade me their Horns for it :D

[RichardX]

I read both Brother and Within These Walls. Both are sort of middling horror novels. Not great and not horrible. Brother reads a lot like several horror movies including Texas Chainsaw and Devil's Rejects. With that said, I give Suntup credit for straying outside the box. A great production even if the underlying book is somewhat lacking. I would like to see a few more of these releases that promote lesser known authors and books.

I really liked 'Brother' and probably would have never read it if not for Suntup. I have a three month Kindle unlimited membership and checked out another book by Ania Ahlborn called "If You See Her" but it wasn't as good IMO.

People here mentioning 'The Devil's Rejects' and 'The Texas Chainsaw Massacre' here is also one of the reasons why I decided to give it a shot lol as I like those kinds of movies.

Brother genuinely surprised me. I'm normally not caught off guard when it comes to "twists", but Brother got me. I also recommend Seed. It's a quick read and pretty good

After it’s California-to-California-via-Iowa postal tour, my copy of BROTHER arrived this morning. Man, is it beautiful. Like we all know, you can look at photos, but you don’t get the real experience until you see it in person. I absolutely love the cover design and materials, and everything else about this edition. Thank you, Team Suntup!

Brother sure is a great production. I love the look and feel of the book. To me, the look and feel sort of give you a feeling that you are going
to read something in-nerving. And I like that synergy.

Some pics of the lettered and numbered Brother. Both fine productions. The words that come to mind when holding the lettered are earthy and dense; a very cool edition. The boards have a stony, heavy quality to them.

I guess... but the gullible, the impulsive and the unknowing need some form of protection no?:)

[Joe315]

Sure. There are return policies and fraud protection. But of the seller isn’t doing anything illegal and they find someone that is willing to spend more good on them. Look at very fine books. They have buyers that pay well over market and are very willing to do so.

[Hunchback Jack]

I tend to agree, but I also think “caveat emptor” has limits. I think the seller is responsible for the accuracy of the listing, including whether something is signed and by whom, what number it is, any condition problems, etc. In short, they need to be honest and complete about what they are selling. But, given that, a seller can list an item for whatever price they want.

In this case I don’t think the seller is doing anything wrong.

[jeffingoff]

Yeah it’s one thing to see the people pay way more than they need to. But I would also much rather see Paul get the sales. Maybe the buyers on eBay are gunning for a real number below 250, knowing they can’t match anything over 250.

Yeah. And if the buyer is hunting a real number then they can request 208 in the next numbered offered for sale and hope to begin a matching set of Suntups. Otherwise it makes no sense to pay $80 more for a book Paul could send brand new.

But caveat emptor and all that. It’s still fun to watch that secondary.

Hope that is good clarification, Jeffingoff and Pennyunwise. If you need more clarification please feel free to let me know. So yeah. . . zero profit And I am also confused because in the decades of collecting I have never once seen a book sell on the secondary market mention (or "disclose") whether they are still available from the publisher.

Collecting is a small world so hope this clarifies things.

P.S - I do not think I have made a profit on a book (King or Otherwise) Ever. Usually lose money. So there is that. Ha!

Ummm. . . I am so lost.

Last thing I want to do is come off bad on here. Can you help me out with what I did wrong? I paid $314.31 total for my copy of Brother (I had to make payments so paid more) I marked it up 13% to cover Ebay fees. I was the first copy of Brother on Ebay and someone bid. So I am making zero profit actually. After everything is said and done losing a few bucks actually.

Confused but want to make it right.

I have no problem with you! Sorry if you thought so. I fully understand getting money back. I just feel unfortunate for the publisher on missing a sale, and the buyer spending extra cash.

Like Penny Unwise, I have no problem with your listing or your asking price. None at all. I was merely looking at things from the perspective of the buyer. With a copy readily available from Suntup, I don't understand why anyone would jump to eBay in search of dank Suntup goodness. Especially if it's for more than the published price. I was wondering if it had anything to do with the search for a real number.

I was also looking at it from my perspective as a collector and fan of Suntup. I'd like to see Paul sell out his inventory so that money can go back into fueling the Suntup engine which will produce the best books out there.

But I totally respect and understand your position and really, you can ask whatever you want for whatever you sell. If you asked $800 and got $800 then that's between you and the buyer. I will say as someone who already has the book in hand, I don't mind anything that appears to drive up the value of the book. So there's that.

I hope your auction goes smoothly and the buyer is pleased.

EDIT--I realize my continued reference to "real number" can seem to disregard the very real numbers between 251 and 500. I mean no offense to Paul or anyone who bought books with those numbers. My "real number" remark is simply shorthand for the numbers that are in the majority of the Suntup print runs (1-250).

I feel your pain. Even if I buy straight from Suntup. I get charged 9.5% sales tax. I'd have to sell that book on Ebay for at least 25 to 30% over retail to break even.

Beautiful production. I would have incorporated a Gingham pattern (cloth if possible) for the FFEP. May not have looked as lush, but it was central to the story and would have been a nice touch. Guess that's why I don't produce books though. :wtf: I also don't know about the eye's either. Seems a little over the top, but that's just my opinion. Again, that's probably why I don't produce books. Still, a very lavish production indeed. :clap::clap::clap:

Don't sweat it! There should be no issue with handling the book, but of course just make sure your hands are clean and sweat-free, as with handling any book. It was really only the Lettered The Road that needed to be handled with gloves.

It has been printed and will be on hand Friday. I’ll need some time to ship them all out as there are roughly 600. It’s also taking some time to clean the claim form submissions because some people tried to game the system to get the free print when in fact they did not qualify for it. I have some footage of it being printed which I still need to edit into a video. Also have a new book announcement happening so I’m thinking the broadside will ship around mid February.

Absolutely; I would think such an individual should be barred from advance notice/purchase rights for future releases. Too strong? Perhaps, but to abuse the Suntup giveaway really is to oppose and defeat the spirit of the giveaway itself.

It's not even like Paul made people jump through complicated hoops: just prove that you ordered a Suntup book EVER! He even made accommodations for those who purchased via a third party! Ridiculous that people tried to exploit that generosity.

Though barring them from future purchases might be going too far. Because I'd hate to see Paul lose sales. But removing those people from any advance notice email lists seems like a reasonable sanction.

Some of the BE Trice limited editions of his work are pretty nice (the deluxe No Country For Old Men for example) but they're not particularly innovative, design-wise, so I'm glad to hear that he and his people got to see how a real limited edition is done!

I said I would help him find a potential buyer, so if anyone wishes to take these over and get in on the Lettered editions, please send me a PM, and I will refer you to him and you can take it from there. Thanks.

Hope your customer will be fine. I'll do some searching. Is it the HG wells set or just Time Machine ?

I agree. I hope your customer will be OK. It really is a shame that this person has to do this.

Perfect!




I was holding my copy of The Road this morning, as is my want, and I was wondering if Cormac McCarthy or any of his people had a reaction to the publication of such a stellar edition.

Cormac was delighted with it, as were his agent and publisher. He particularly liked the illustrations.

Super cool!!

Some of the BE Trice limited editions of his work are pretty nice (the deluxe No Country For Old Men for example) but they're not particularly innovative, design-wise, so I'm glad to hear that he and his people got to see how a real limited edition is done!

The nice thing about those editions is that he was more open to signing back them.

I don’t need to be drunk while filming. In fact I try to avoid it. Believe it or not, Drunk Jeff is even LESS coherent. Yes that’s possible.

But I do recommend getting good and drunk before viewing any of my videos.

I'm a little shocked that not only are there people who watch my videos, but that they would also be willing to admit to it in front of others.

This is all very high praise and it means a lot to me.

Paul I can't imagine you as a grumpy person! Though I'd imagine that someone who works as hard as you do would be routinely disappointed in the mindset of others.

And Vincent--when you consider that I'm looking at myself in the iPhone when I'm doing these videos, it makes much more sense at why I would react angrily. I'm routinely disappointed with the mindset of the guy in the iPhone.

Thank you all for watching.

I get to go out once a year and get autographs from horror celebs and this year, I have a shot at getting Danny Lloyd's autograph. Would his signature on The Shining Print decrease or add value for folks? That cover is from a movie tie-in paperback. It's not until next month which is good since I am broke at the moment but the responses might give me a clue as to what I should do....

If it adds value for you, do it.

I had three of the actors who played Cenobites sign my Earthling edition of Hellbound Heart. I am thrilled to have those signatures (and memories—they were fantastic and gracious). But I wouldn’t expect those signatures to boost the value of the book. Others might not like it that people who had nothing to do with the book are memorialized within in. Since they’re two entirely different pieces of art. In that instance I don’t care.

But for me, The Shining novel and The Shining movie are almost completely separate and I wouldn’t want Danny Lloyd’s signature on anything to do with the book. Though I guess I’d make an exception for that cool paperback movie tie-in cover. Even still I wouldn’t do it to drive up the monetary value.

I guess my point is that you’re the best person to answer your question.

**EDIT** but I’d love to hear what others think. Especially as it relates to a Suntup print.

I would do it. Maybe a once in a lifetime opportunity. I got Lloyd, the woman in room 237 and the Grady twin actors to sign my CD copy of The Shining. Does it add value? Not sure, but I'm glad to have it. Association signature are cool. I had Clint Hill and Buell Frazier sign my copy of 11.22.63. Hill was the secret service agent who jumped on the trunk of JFK's car moments after he was killed and Frazier drove Oswald to work on the day of the assassination. Those folks won't be around forever. So when you get a chance, take it.

Im on the other side of the fence... cool to meet the actors but they ain't touching my books. Nope. Would not add value to me... AND if it was a rare book? Like say a 1st Shining (have either 1st movie or remake actress sign it) it would LOWER substantially the value I believe. King's pen should be the only one to sign..

For me it depends on the book. If it's a rare first edition or something really unique, I wouldn't let anyone other than King to sign. But most trade editions and reprints I'm more than happy to have an actor from the movie sign it.

It's like you bought RB and got 6 books for free. And I imagine the value of that particular AGE is only going to go up since it's the lowest print run of a Suntup AGE and it's the most stunning of the ones I've held so far, IMO.

You use both "limited" (The Road, RB) OR "numbered" on the numbered edition descriptions. What's the thought process on that?

I started out referring to this edition as "Numbered", then made the decision to begin referring to them as "Limited". After some time it became clear that the best description for me in terms of what made the most sense, was "Numbered", so I went back to that. From now on, these will be called "Numbered". Final answer.

As for the limitation page, I know I probably threw a curve ball with Brother. For a deceased author, I will want it in the back. I think I mentioned somewhere that living authors would go in the front, but we got into a groove where ALL signature sheets were designed and planned for the back. I have a lot of books on the go, and systematizing things like this helps streamline the process. So without thinking, the signature sheet ended up in the back for Brother because that is how all books were planned. Personally, I would prefer they appear at the back whether the author is living or deceased. However, for some upcoming titles with living authors, I may put them in the front. There's no hard and fast rule, but in general, the back is the default. And as I think about it, sometimes the book tends to dictate. Not only with signature sheets, but this concept of the book leading the way can extend to introductions as well. I have one I'm working on right now where I keep feeling that this one should not have an introduction. Ultimately, where it ends up is where the book wanted it to end up. I kind of feel that way about it.

Kris, I think he's asking if, since he bought the set, he will be back on track to resume collecting his number after Invisible Man is open for preorder. **EDIT** If he hops off between now and when the Invisible Man is available.

I guess the thinking is that he bought the 3 book set so he has his number and therefore the book after invisible man will have no previous number holder. So therefore no one can claim the number and it is his again.

Right! No one is asking me! hahahaha. But I think it's interesting to speculate. I see it this way:
There's the King track
The non-King track
And the Wells set track(?)

If you bought the set, that number is set aside. And you have it. And those books with that number are now out of the future preorders. But if you hop off, then your number goes back into play and will follow the non-King track skipping over the Wells books that have been set aside.


**EDIT** THEREFORE, for the next book that is announced after The Invisible Man. that number will be available to whoever holds the number to the book before the Invisible Man.

So it's like The Invisible Man doesn't exist.

[webstar1000]

Paul, just wondering if you'll put the next Wells up for preorder before March 13th.

No it’s planned for a little later. I want to get it further along in production. There are other titles planned for announcement before this one.

Hi Paul, just wanted some clarification. If I jump off the train sometime between now and the next wells book, will I be able to jump back on once the book after the next Wells book is announced, since I have preordered the set?

no he stated that. You needed to buy the three as a package deal to ensure that.

Kris, I think he's asking if, since he bought the set, he will be back on track to resume collecting his number after Invisible Man is open for preorder.

I guess the thinking is that he bought the 3 book set so he has his number and therefore the book after invisible man will have no previous number holder. So therefore no one can claim the number and it is his again.

hmmm.. that is not how I read it but I digress me lad... lets let him tell us. haha

Right! No one is asking me! hahahaha. But I think it's interesting to speculate. I see it this way:
There's the King track
The non-King track
And the Wells set track(?)

If you bought the set, that number is set aside. And you have it. And those books with that number are now out of the future preorders. But if you hop off, then your number goes back into play and will follow the non-King track skipping over the Wells books that have been set aside.

No it is ONLY set aside if you bought them as a set. So, if he didn't and left after the first one and tried to come back when the 2nd is announced... it would go to the last person who bought the book before him.. thus losing his matching number. Thats the way I see it. haha SO same as you but I think he was asking like he didnt buy the set...

[jeffingoff]

Paul, great Facebook Live, as always!

[Ari_Racing]

I know the title...but because someone told me. ;)

[CyberGhostface]

Preview video is on Facebook. Seems like we’re getting Red Dragon by Thomas Harris?

[RC65]

Paul said he made the teaser video easier this time to figure out...now I really feel stupid, as I've still no idea.

[RC65]

Preview video is on Facebook. Seems like we’re getting Red Dragon by Thomas Harris?

I don't recall a child (seen in the video) being a feature player in the book, but then again it's been a while since I've read it. Plus there appears to be some sort of fiery monster toward the beginning and a Cthulhu-like image at the end, both of which are absent in RED DRAGON.

In the book there’s a lengthy section on Francis Dolarhyde’s childhood. The kid has a hairlip which Dolarhyde has. The Japanese symbol seen in the video is something Dolarhyde carves on the tree as well. As for the monsters it’s probably the dragon Dolarhyde sees himself becoming.

Ah. Thanks for the clarification...it's been a good twenty years since I'd read the book, and I really only remember the basic construct of the plot and a few key scenes.

[CyberGhostface]

Also in the book Dolarhyde is obsessed with the painting “The Great Red Dragon and the Woman Clothed in Sun“ and you can see that in the video.

[herbertwest]

I have no clue, but it looks stunning !

[Tommy]

The Cleft Palate, the mahjong tile symbol, and I think that's a closeup of the Blake painting at the end. Damn! RD is one of my favorite books. I may have to start slinging rocks and order this bad boy.

That's a joke btw.

[CyberGhostface]

It’s one of my favorite books. I’ll definitely get the GE. I’m tempted to get the LE depending on the price.

[webstar1000]

:excited:

Can't wait then I'll try to be ready on the dot.

Well, once again I hate to say it but I've never heard of Red Dragon or Thomas Harris, not anything I've ever read. I did key in on the Cthulhu as well (which piqued my interest), also saw a tiger (that's what I thought the "fiery monster" mentioned above was) and crocodile skin (could be dragon I suppose).

My initial thought watching the video was Red Dragon also. Guess I'll find out tomorrow.

I missed the live stream, and a small chunk was cut out of the middle of the recording due to technical difficulties. What was the gold colored lettered edition in the gold colored tray case that Paul held up? It didn’t look like any of the pictures from the website.

lol yep

Although to be fair a lot of people are just familiar with the film version of 'Silence of the Lambs' and Anthony Hopkins over anything else.

Red Dragon in particular seems to be the least known of the bunch (which is a shame as I think it has some of the best writing and characterization of the series; Francis Dolarhyde is a great character). I've seen a lot of posts on other forums where people will say when starting the series "Can I just skip Red Dragon?"

[Tommy]

RD is one of the few books that had me looking over my shoulder as I read it in an empty house. It is just terrific.

Ron, check out the iconic William Blake painting The Great Red Dragon and the Woman Clothed in Sun https://kerrypicard2.files.wordpress.com/2011/02/william_blake-full2.jpg with which the main protagonist is obsessed. ;)

[shaq]

I so hope it's Red Dragon. It all seems to point to it.

As a bonus, i think i won the $50 gift certificate. Fingers crossed as think I was the first to get it right. We will see, pleasant bonus if the case

[shaq]

Also reduced international shipping is awesome of Paul.

And then..... news of i am legend gift edition!!!

Yeah, I think if just a bit more of that painting had been exposed in the video, I would have recognized it. I remember the painting well, as it's prominently displayed in the first few pages of my signed 1st ed. HC, and it's an image that lingers (more than the book, apparently, given that I had forgotten about the featured child portion that CyberGhost references earlier...but I do remember really enjoying it).

Had a lengthy discussion about this and there's a loooong answer and a short answer. This is the short one: Whenever you skip a release, you lose your number. If you skip the book tomorrow, you won't be able to jump back in for the book announced after The War of the Worlds. There will only be this one book before the next Wells if that helps.

[Garrell]

I sold my Time Machine and rights yesterday so I am on the hoping train. I will be hitting the order button at 12 tomorrow for tomorrow's release.

[shaq]

Red dragon is a great read, the child being Francis, and the back story of him is amazing.

I re-read it a few months ago. Fabulous.

I’m so excited, a little wee came out at the thought of it! 🤭🤭🤭

Nope, wasn't joking. SK DT and EOTD is about the extent of my fantasy reading, never liked the genre; I've always been a sci-fi and horror guy, any book with Dragon in the title I'd never even look at twice. As for Silence of the Lambs, yeah saw the movie but had no idea who wrote the book; honestly didn't think much of the movie either. Now The City and the Stars ... there's a book!

So in other words, assuming there is only one non-Wells volume announced between each Wells order period:

If you only bought Time Machine, the non-King “rights train” looks like this:

Non-Wells 1 -> Wells 1 -> non-Wells 2 -> Wells 2 -> non-Wells 3 -> Wells 3 -> non-Wells 4 ...

That is, ordering the first Wells volume individually doesn’t grant rights to the next Wells volume; it only grants rights to the next volume in the chain of announced titles. To guarantee a matching Wells volume 2, you would need to buy the non-Wells volume immediately preceding it.

If you ordered the Wells set, the rights chain looks like:

Non-Wells 1 -> Wells 1, 2 and 3 -> non-Wells 2 -> non-Wells 3 -> non-Wells 4 ...

Purchasing the set gives you all three Wells books (delivered over time) but only grants you rights to the next non-Wells book. Having ordered Wells 2 and 3 ahead of time doesn’t grant rights to any subsequent non-Wells books (beyond the next one)

Is that right, Paul?

[Br!an]

So it's like The Invisible Man doesn't exist.

He exists, you just can't see him. :doh:

Reducing international shipping rates by 30%. For me, living on this island on the other side of the Earth, this is even bigger news than the new book! Thank you, Paul. What a thing. Can I ask, how are you making that possible??

Shipping the lot of orders there and then piecing them out from a hub. Only way I can figure it!

Hence the pre order only thing he stated.

It's a huge difference. Shipping prices stopped me from buying subterranean press novella's straight from SP as the shipping price > book price
Paul now making this happen is a huge difference. Savings from 2 shipments is almost the price of an AGE!

I think I need a PhD degree to understand this! :-) We'll explain or clarify on the next release. My brain is fried right now after discussing it all at length. I need to watch Laurel & Hardy or something.

I thought you'd like that. It involves consolidating orders. I've already tested it and it works. So we'll see how it goes with an actual bulk shipment. I'm really excited to have been able to bring these rates down for our international customers.

Actually this is not fantasy, it is crime drama/mystery/horor. Silence of the lambs is a sequel of sorts.

Loved the book, not sure why I bought it as an early teen, but just checked, looks like my paperback was a first printing.

There have been two movies based on the book, the first was called Manhunter, the second Red Dragon, where Anthony Hopkins reprised his role as Hannibal Lector.
