Yep. Still there.

Got it with the link.

Wow.

Got it with the link.

Wow.
Congrats. Glad you got it.

Wow.

Congrats man! I would've bought it myself but just couldn't afford it at this moment. 🤭

Glad somebody here got it though. 😉

Cheers. This one has been on my mind for a while now.

I haven’t read Red Dragon in ages. Re-reading it now with my Suntup ARC and I’m just hit with how perfect this art is. It’s as elegant and raw as the book.

You're actually reading the precious Suntup ARC? I applaud this move. Can't wait to reread this (though, it'll be the limited), as it went immediately into my top 5 at the time of first read. Yeah, the art on this felt right to me, too. Let us know your final thoughts when done.

Yeah if I had the other two editions in hand (my numbered and AGE) I’d probably be reading the AGE. But I have been dying to reacquaint myself with this book so when I got the ARC I couldn’t hold off.

I plan on reading a copy of every book Suntup publishes. In some cases, like The Haunting of Hill House and The Road, I had to read the numbered. But when Paul offers an AGE option, that’ll be the edition I’ll read. Rosemary’s Baby and Horns were fantastic experiences. But the best by far was The Road.

With the wonderful art and incredible details, these books are immersive and elevated at the same time. The Road was an ash covered world and it would have been a personal sin for me to not read that edition.

[Hunchback Jack]

I think you have the right idea, Jeff. I haven't yet read a Suntup book, and that seems just plain wrong.

I wash my hands, sit comfortably, and don't eat, drink or smoke when I read a valuable book. I can then relax and enjoy the experience without too much worry.

[Munnecom]

I have no problem with reading limited editions myself and fully intend to read my Suntup books in due time.

The one issue I have is that I can't find a comfortable position to sit in for long when holding large books. I took my copy of Swan Song from SubPress off the shelf the other day. I have no idea how I'll ever read that without snapping my wrists in half.

[webstar1000]

My first read of a limited was Rosemary Baby. I told Paul this... its like watching a big budget movie at home VS IMAX. I sincerely enjoyed it much more BUT was the stress of not opening it too far, getting something on it, damaging it in anyway worth it? For a gift /artist YES...... maybe a number but in no way would I do it with a letter.

[Hunchback Jack]

Unfortunately, I tend to have the habit of reading the books that Paul publishes while waiting for them to be published. :-)

But my next reread of brother will be of the limited edition. That’s a book just begging to be held and read slowly. Ditto my next reread of the road. I will also hold off on reading the time machine until the signed limited edition arrives.

[MikeDuke]

I have others to go through first but when I start reading these books, I will read the books I got from Paul. That's the whole idea in my opinion. But that's just me.

This is so true! It's not just the physical harm--it's also trying to balance the book without twisting the spine and damaging the binding. The CD Artist Edition of The Shining was cumbersome but the worst was reading the CD gift edition of IT! That was a mess and the front and back boards are so thin. I'm amazed that the book didn't tear in half under its own weight. But it's why I wouldn't even try to read Swan Song or Sleeping Beauties. I've learned my lesson.

Yeah, I wouldn't read a lettered either. It's almost too stressful reading the numbered editions. I created a disposable book cover for HHH and I went way out of my way for The Road to ensure it didn't get damaged. I traveled with it in the slipcase and the whole thing in a bubblewrap bag. Everything is still in excellent condition. Reading the AGEs was a lot less stressful and no less wonderful.

[Hunchback Jack]

RB has a pretty stunning AGE. If or when I reread that novel, I will likely read the AGE rather than the numbered.

Totally agree about oversized books. Particularly long epics. It’s the one thing about subterranean press that sometimes disappoints me – they tend to gravitate toward oversized volumes, even for relatively short books. It makes them cumbersome to read, and adds cost that could be put into artwork or better materials for a smaller book.

I’m not against the idea of oversized books entirely – I’d liked that misery was a larger book – but in general I like that Paul has kept the numbered editions at a more conventional size.

[St. Troy]

The hugest book I ever read (I read on the train, FYI) was a special edition of Moby Dick that weighed in at 5 1/2 lbs. (yes, I have a huge Moby Dick - let's try to be adults about this, okay?). It is the only book for which I ever had to find a specific way to arrange my hands and wrists because soreness was becoming a factor.

More about this here, for those who might like to get their hands on a huge one:

Agree. I love the shelf presence of these beautiful oversized editions. IT and the numbered edition of Sleeping Beauties are among my most treasured books, but I prefer the size that Paul seems to have balanced his editions on.

Wondering, what Suntup books has gotten proof so far?

- Misery
- Rosemary's Baby
- The Road
- Red Dragon

Any other : Horns? Hill House? Brother?

I have a Brother ARC.

I cannot understand the worry- at all. These books are constructed so well (that's the whole point, isn't it?). You're not going to harm them by reading them. I know that they have monetary value and one would ideally like to maintain whatever value they have, but- you would not know any of my books have been read. Their value hasn't diminished one cent. In fact, the real value is in the reading of them. Imagine that? You won't hurt them- read them. There's nothing like reading a beautiful book. Like Paul said- just don't read them at the beach.

It’s not about messing up the book because of how it’s constructed, it’s messing it up with dirty fingers or dropping it or something else.

That is absolutely amazing- that you have read that book that many times. You have to have insights on it that us regular readers (twice only for me, and not in a decade! And- it's one of my top 5 books..) have missed. When can we expect your "Paper"? I'm serious. Or, at least- your thoughts over a scotch!

It’s not about messing up the book because of how it’s constructed, it’s messing it up with dirty fingers or dropping it or something else.

I've noticed that my fingers leave some kind of dark marks (maybe natural skin oils or some damn thing) on the cheap boards on ordinary hardcovers when my hands are basically clean. Because those are regular books, I don't sweat it, but I wonder if that's unavoidable every time you read a book (not that that will stop me from reading my finer books when I have time; that will happen).

I am someone who reads my limited editions. You are correct, even with clean skin oils will be left behind. The extent of that is dependent on the material of the book. Here is what I do. With books that have a dust jacket I always cover it with Brodart before reading. Some dustjackets will allow you to handle them without leaving oil marks and some will not. Books without dustjackets are tougher. If they are leather or similar surface I just make sure my hands are clean and generally have no issue. For cloth surfaces I need to be more careful. I generally have a paper napkin next to me and wipe my fingers every few minutes. For the surfaces that are somewhere in between like the limited Gwendy's Button Box I follow the same rules as I do with cloth covers.

[Munnecom]

I’ve heard that those natural oils are actually good for leatherbound books, because it keeps the leather supple and prevents it from drying out and cracking. That could be total BS, though.

I have no idea if these instructions apply to modern day leather bound editions but this page does suggest that handling the leather with bare hands is a good idea.

Do's & Don'ts: Care for Leather Bound Books. (http://eidolonhouse.com/chronicles/dos-donts-care-for-leather-bound-books)

Does anyone know if these tips apply to the modern day editions? There is also a link in there on how to condition the leather bound editions once a year.

How To: Leather Conditioning For Fine Bindings. (http://eidolonhouse.com/chronicles/how-to-leather-conditioning-for-fine-bindings)

I'm sure there is a thread around here discussing this and sorry if this posting is an annoyance.

Perhaps it is just poor word choice, but, "Hydrating the leather" is something I would never do to my leatherbound books. :nope:

Since constructing the vehicle from the clues Paul and I discovered upon a very close reading of The Time Machine, it's difficult to know my when. So I apologize! As Paul is aware, the pic I posted is from 4 years from now. It's part of the Suntup Off the Rack editions. Fast horror books that used to dominate the market as impulse buys in grocery store checkout lanes. To bind this edition of John Tigges' VENOM, we travelled to 1988 and sourced paper grocery bags from a now out-of-business grocery store chain. We also bought 300 copies of the original paperback and are including them as reading copies" with every purchase.

I bet these sell out this week (maybe even today) as people continue to check their emails, especially those at work or on monitored connections.

Maybe especially for those who are relatively new to Suntup Editions, the new boards just make it pop in a way it didn't before, and might be drawing some new eyes...

Thanks, appreciate that. The slipcase isn’t covered in any skins. It’s paper and cloth. That hasn’t changed.

The Time Machine should be shipping in about two weeks. I will update the status page when I have a specific date. The books are now on hand though. Just prepping at this point.

Anyone got a shipping notice for Time Machine? Im pumped to read this one. I made a deal with myself when I started with Paul to read EVERY book he puts out. My least fav has been Hill House but the rest? HUGE fans of... I mean some are in my top favs now. Just finished Rosemary and loved it (watching movie now as well due to Pauls recommendation and it will be the oldest film I have ever watched. I have 35 mins left when I get home tonight). I have never read a Wells book so looking forward to reading the 4 Paul is doing. I should be done Gone Girl (WHICH I LOVE) in a few more days to a week and hoping that Time Machine is arriving in time to fill my bookless void. lol

I loved Hill House. But I loved Rosemary's Baby more. The last part of the book, the "falling action," was unexpectedly different than the rest of the book. It struck me a certain way that made it feel like two stories and I loved it. I felt like that is where I connected to the author most.

The last portion of the book . . .
felt like a dark comedy. An indictment of religion. The way Rosemary brushes off the cult as irrelevant as she accepts her child. How parenthood is greater than devil worship. Loved it!

I read The Time Machine--it was the only Wells I've ever read and it is something I refer to when I think of social class. It's been a while but I'm eager to read it again. As well as discover the other Wells books. I'm mostly intrigued by The Island of Doctor Moreau. The way everyone lobbied for it has me very curious.

Might I suggest you read:
The Hellbound Heart by Clive Barker or Damnation Game by Barker if you're looking for something longer to fill the wait.
Or how about Kin by Kealan Patrick Burke (strong BROTHER vibes!)
Or Butcher Boy by Patrick McCabe if you want something deep and heartbreaking.

Yes, a great cover for the IAL AGE. I ordered the giclée print as well.

I’ve also been reading the Suntup books as they’ve been announced, and haven’t yet read The Time Machine. Nor have I read the invisible man; I have read the war of the worlds many times. So some good books are in my future.

Where's the video of the making of this book cover???

It was the first video upload ever rejected by YouTube for being "A Complete Waste of Time." I'm awfully proud. As my grandpappy always said, "if you can't be the best, be the absolute worst!" My grandpappy hated ambiguity.

[ur2ndbiggestfan]

So far, I only have 24 copies of I AM LEGEND, about 22 or so different editions.
I can't wait to get two more.
Alas, I will be missing the two lettered editions...maybe one of these days.

[zelig]

So there's this known issue with the store calculating international shipping. All that shows up is FedEx at an incredibly high rate. We're looking into it.

[zelig]

It's an issue with the USPS response time regarding international rates and their API. So no idea when that will be resolved, but in the meantime if you're outside the US and wish to order, I've set up a temporary flat rate.

[jeffingoff]

Well your updates and upgrades to I Am Legend have been so well-received that someone already wrote a review for the AGE of IAL. I agree with BOB 100%!


EDIT:
Here's Bob's review:

OH YEAH
Can't wait for this edition to grace my bookshelf! Currently only have 1 Suntup book (Rosemary's Baby) and it's beautiful. So happy to have found this site

[MikeDuke]

This is the first GE I bought along with the limited. The only other GE I have is Misery and I bought that after market. I may try and get the GE as well as the limited at the same time.

[MikeDuke]

35 GE left. Boy howdy did that change get people off the sidelines (including me :)). And 7 limited ones left.

If you can stretch to get one, Mike, I'd highly recommend the RB AGE. I know, all Suntup books are nice, and you have to have collecting priorities, but that AGE in particular is stunning, in my opinion.

I have all AGE's and to be honest I can not pick my favorite. They are all uniquely the most beautiful in their own way. Hard pressed I'd have to go for Horns, probably because I love that art the most until now

Oh, it's on my list also Peter. I will get one off of eBay at some point. I just need to focus on the now. And right now I just bought the IAL one. Plus we have the new books coming out on Thursday so I will probably get that one as well.
It will just take me some time that's all.

[willie3]

It may have already been stated up thread, but Suntup’s AGE are better than 90% of the S/L releases from other publishers.

[Brian861]

What will be the going rate for The Time Machine aftermarket?

[Brian861]

[lotuz]

It may have already been stated up thread, but Suntup’s AGE are better than 90% of the S/L releases from other publishers.

Agree 100%.

I wrote this literally last week to a collector that I sold some GRRM books to - he had heard of Suntup Editions but had not yet bought any:


"I would definitely recommend checking out a Suntup Edition at some point! It'll be hard though... Once you get one book in your hands you'll definitely want to find more of them :). Most of them seem to hold their prices pretty well; I'd say that you could find about half of the books for somewhere right around their list price, and the other half you'd have to pay a markup. A note on the quality: their "Artist Gift Editions" (a few of which are still available for I am Legend and Red Dragon) are about the quality of a standard limited edition from most other small presses. Their limited editions are about the quality of a regular lettered edition, and their lettered editions are absolutely out of this world."

EDIT:

I'm also very much looking forward to the next announcement! Were there any hints dropped previously? I don't recall...

Yes, as i recall it correctly it would be this but i could've mistaken it for a hint..
" There is something green on the horizon."

Now that could be hinting to Christine ; While nearly choking to death on a hamburger , Leigh notices that (at least to her) Christine's dashboard lights seemed to become glaring green eyes

From Leigh's point of view that would be something green on the horizon. 😉

Although, that's just a wild guess from me. 🤭

Here’s what Paul previously stated about the March release:

A true classic, this novel is a visionary work by one of the most important authors of the 20th century. In addition to the author’s name being a very familiar one, you may also recognize the artist we have commissioned for the Artist Gift edition jacket as he has previously had his work featured in The Covers Collection. The edition will be available in three states: Lettered, Numbered, and Artist Gift Edition. The editions include an introduction by a New York Times bestselling author who has signed both the Lettered and Numbered editions.

I have a VERY strong feeling we are all going to be blown away:)

[MikeDuke]

Yep. That's right Jeff. I figured it would be an author that has passed on with the phrase true classic. Of course I could be wrong. I hope it is the author I am thinking about but I am sure it will be a fine addition regardless.
Thursday can't get here fast enough.
And I agree with the quality of the gift ed. Misery is just fantastic. If you put it side by side with many other numbered, without knowing which was which, I am sure that Misery would rank
high in quality.
And Kris, I agree %100 :biggrin:.

[Hunchback Jack]

I agree, Mike, likely an author that has passed, but the phrase, "a visionary work by one of the most important authors of the 20th century" sounds pretty exciting regardless. I wonder which genre ...

[Abra Stone]

I'm probably way off, but to me it sounds like it could be The Great Gatsby!

[lotuz]

My guesses stand:
1984
Fahrenheit 451

Both eminently worthy books!

I'm sure that 1984 has been done, but I struggle to remember by whom so it couldn't have been that great.

Fahrenheit 451 has had a number of iterations, most recently the very neat heat-sensitive edition from SuperTerrain, but it's such a good and important book that I'd buy a version from every publisher that would publish it. And would be very curious what a Suntup take would look like!

Admittedly, you've gotten my brain stuck on those two books now, so I'm having a hard time thinking of another guess based on that info, but certainly a number of other authors/books could be described that way. I think a good clue is that it's from "one of the most important authors of the 20th Century", which suggests a high profile author with a well-known body of work. So probably not a one-hit-wonder.

And there's still the artist to consider!

And the NYT bestselling author who is providing the introduction!

:panic::panic::panic:

[jeffingoff]

Like you I’m excited for every aspect of this announcement—the introducer, artist, and book itself. And like you, I’d be happy to see another edition of F451. But I’d welcome any book Paul wants to do even if it’s been done before. I know that’s not an opinion everyone shares, but Paul and Becca bring so much more to the work. It’s always unique and worth discovering.

Incidentally, there’s a whole thing about whether you should spell the title Of Orwell’s novel as “1984” or “Nineteen Eighty-Four”.

Personally, I prefer the latter version, as it appears that is what Orwell used himself when referring to the book. But, if Paul did a version titled “1984” I would still buy it. :)

I was told time and time again to read Slaughterhouse-Five. If Paul publishes that, then I'll listen.

[Hunchback Jack]

Heller's Catch-22 wouldn't be bad either. For some reason I associate it with Slaughterhouse 5; I read them both around the same time, and they touch on similar themes.

Thanks to Suntup I just finished The Time Machine and Hill House and I am Legend before that. Is the expression "they don't make 'em like they used to" appropriate here? Absolutely beautiful writing.

"I'm the Whether Man, not the Weather Man, for after all it is more important to know whether there will be weather than what the weather will be." And with that he let off a stream of gaily coloured balloons...

I also loved this one! :)

[Hunchback Jack]

This is the Children's book that I hold dear above all others. I used to get this from the Library at least once a month.

Strangely, I’ve never even heard of this book. it sounds fun from the quote.

I don’t remember much about my early childhood, but I do remember that Winnie the Pooh featured prominently in the reading material, first being read to by my older sister - who more or less taught me how to read, at preschool age - and later devoured the books cover to cover. My sister is probably a big reason why I still read today.

In other news, shipping notice from Suntup. The IAL print is on its way!

Crazy that you posted this. I was reading something online a few days ago where some celebrity, I can't remember who now, said this is their favorite book. So I bought a copy to check it out and just received it a day or two ago. Seems like both the author and artist are still alive, in their 90s.

I know you're kinda busy right now, but trust me, take some time out and read this book. Some of the puns are terrible (as a 7 year old, they were the funniest things ever) but the extraordinary way the author exposes a young mind to the breadth of the english language is just phenomenal.

[MikeDuke]

Dayum. Just had to order both on this one. Great choice Paul.

[zelig]

I had also not heard of it. I'm reading it now... I was also a Winnie the Pooh kid. Remember reading the books.

[Raenas]

I had also not heard of it. I'm reading it now... I was also a Winnie the Pooh kid. Remember reading the books.

First book I read on my own! Next was the Leatherstocking Tales by J. F. Cooper, so most children's novels were left unattended afterwards. Got into SK at 10 years old, first book was The Tommyknockers.

Also the Christopher Robin poetry books. This just popped into my head from 40-odd years ago (I may not have it quite right):

James James Morrison Morrison Weatherby George Dupree
Took great care of his mother
Though he was only three.
James James said to his mother,
“Mother,” he said, said he,
“You must never go down to the end of the town,
Unless you go down with me.”

We now return you to your regularly scheduled program.

This release continues the fine tradition of 1) being a book I’ve never read and 2) having absolutely mind-blowing art.

I hope the print that comes with the numbered and lettered editions is of that image with the two people and the *bleep* made out of *bleep* rising over the *bleep *.

Lastly, it seems to me this book also presents a fine opportunity for another paperweight.

this sounds like you might be reaching out to some people....I bought an anniversary edition last year to read with my son - since I too had never read it

[jeffingoff]

I was outside in the virus riddled world presenting to a university so I didn't have the chance to jump on this announcement or sound off until now. All I want to say is: Paul YOU BEAUTIFUL BEAST! Love everything about this release! It's like you're in my brain. How many dreams can Suntup Editions bring to life? All of them. ALL the dreams!

one can only hope! Count me in on this one as well. One of my absolute favorite books i read as a young-un and it would be incredible if we could get an author signed copy!

Well, if the world's going out on the wings of COVID 19 (any King fans appreciate the nod to 19??), I'm glad you're bringing all this amazing art into it. And I'm thrilled to have witnessed and held these fantastic books. It means a lot to me personally. If I could travel back and talk to my 14 year-old self, I'd tell him, "Just hang on. Some day, there will be editions worthy of the love you feel for these books."

I'm curious what the next book anouncement will be but i'm not sure if i'm going to pre-order it as the virus is causing a lot of issues over here. People are stocking up groceries like mad rabbits, many grocery stores are left empty.😲
And with a baby of just 4 weeks old it's better to stock up diapers and such. 😉

Whatever it will be i'm sure your next book will be a beauty Paul.

Yes it is a difficult time and there are obviously much greater priorities! I hope you and your family stay healthy and safe. Look after that little one. My hope is that by the time this book arrives this will all be a bad memory.

Thanks, will do! 👍🏻
Crazy times over here, i live in the so called "corona capital" of the Netherlands and i really hope this will soon be over.
Went to do the groceries just a couple of hours ago. Everything was normal and the stores had a lot of stock but i just checked the local news and people were fighting in the stores over the last pack of toiletpaper.

It seems that the world's gone mad. 🤔

With all the excitement over the newest release, I was looking at my two small Suntup book shelves and noticed I neglected to put THE first book released by Suntup with the others.

Dammit Paul, I was really hoping to jump off the train and save some money, but looks like this is not the book to jump off of! (yeah, I know you aren't supposed to end a sentence with a preposition :wink:)


Actually, there is no formal rule which dictates that.

I'd much prefer you end on a preposition than torture a sentence to fit arbitrary rules.

Suntup edition in the making!

[MikeDuke]

In case anybody is still on the fence, there are 9 IAL GE and 7 Limited ed left. I know it's tough with what's going on, but I have to keep up my count for people.

137 as of now.

I just realised that six of the eighteen books I have on preorder are Suntups. Life is good!

[St. Troy]

Well, if the world's going out on the wings of COVID 19 (any King fans appreciate the nod to 19??)...

Somehow, I never noticed the 19 thing...that can't be a good sign.

[St. Troy]

I just saw the Suntup teaser video. I have to say, even with these simple little videos, the production values are spot on. It would be easy for a small publisher to embarrass itself with something that came across cheesy, but these never do.

When I grow up, I want to work at Suntup.

oh no! just realised this will go on sale 4pm uk time tomorrow, at which time I will be sat in a theatre with my kids watching Matilda the musical!
and if it is the book we all assume it is, I hope there are some limiteds left after an hour....

[Brian861]

Love the ending of the trailer :rofl:

Hah, Gilead was a client for many years at my old job.
Every time I worked on one of their projects I had that thought.


A Suntup F451 would be nice.
I'm undecided about trying to get a copy though.
I already have at least three different limited editions of that book that are actually signed by Bradbury and there are several more that I don't have yet.

[Beverly Marsh]

I realize there's a new book coming out tomorrow but I have to interject and say how happy I am with the prints. I didn't buy any for a long time because I'm getting out of the art portfolios and such but someone started it off with a gift and I finished it off to have my personal Top 5 King books in cover prints. The quality is stunning! Duh. :)
