Suntup Editions

[burgerhicks80]

a scanner darkly!! awesome! the lettered looks very similar to the mustard edition of Lyras books stardust, no?

[BadHatHarry]

Paul is killing it with the book choices lately.

[Lookwhoitis]

oh my goodness!

Glad I am still on the train, because I would not have wanted to miss this one. I am a rabid PKD fan and am excited to see the Suntup treatment of such a visionary author.

However, I do miss the days of cheaper Suntup books.

Who is interested in buying a copy of the Auctioneer or Bibliomysteries? :excited:

[CyberGhostface]

Regarding the November horror novel... since it’s 350 copies does that mean whoever purchases it will have rights to future books of that limitation?

[Hunchback Jack]

I’ve read a few Philip K Dick novels, and like them, but I haven’t read this one. I’m looking forward to adding it to my to read list. I really love the art in this edition. Stunning, and a little disturbing.

(Numbered and AGE ordered)

[jeffingoff]

The art is amazing. Great selection and design and everything.

Then again, you can copy and paste that reaction and post it to reflect my feelings on every Suntup release.

yes I believe that to be the case

[GenericEric]

Not sure yet, but I'm probably skipping the poetry collection. Have to scale back on some of my spending habits.

Luckily I won't lose my number. Now once I actually see what the collection is and the whole production of it I might break down and buy it anyway.

It's an addiction! Sometimes you just can't help it.

I am in a similar boat. Have been on the numbered track since and including HoHH, so want to keep my #5 series intact. Would be a dream if I could somehow poach #5 Misery at some point, but decided to wait until my bonus before I attempt to complete the Suntup numbered track (even for a different number).

[Brian861]

The lettered is trippy!

[Noxus35]

Ordered the AGE, took a while this time but i did not want to miss out on this one.
Perhaps it was mentioned before and i just missed it but is there a particular reason for limiting this one to 750 copies?
Also will this be the limitation for all future AGE's?

[MikeDuke]

Love the choice even though I have not read it. I like the fact that this is the person who gave us Blade Runner, Minority Report, and Total Recall. The first two I love. Again, a great choice.

yes I believe that to be the case

The title following the 350 in November is a 250 run, and rights go sequentially from book to book. So no. Assuming the January book is 350, owners of the 250 December book will have rights to that book, not owners of the November book.

If anyone is looking to pass on the poetry book - I might be interested. I'm above #150 so I don't qualify.

Full disclosure - I'd be looking to buy publishers price. I'm looking for someone who doesn't want it but wants to maintain rights.

I don't believe that books affects rights so no one would be losing out if they passed their copy along.

The poetry book doesn't come with any rights attached. So those buying are either looking to keep it or flip it for a profit. I'd imagine those who don't want it or aren't looking to make a profit based on the low limitation will simply pass. Though there has been a lot of generosity on the Fans of Suntup FB page. So someone between 1-150 might be willing to secure a copy for you.

[MikeDuke]

I am wondering about the price of the poetry book. If it's reasonable (I know that's relative), I would snag it because I like and used to write poetry. That way I keep all of my numbered books intact.

I don't remember if there was a place to offer suggestions for artists for upcoming Suntup books or if Paul said he wanted to hear suggestions. But I highly recommend Matt Buck his artwork is amazing and seems would be fitting for a future Suntup release. I actually discovered him through the show Ink Master he's a great tattooer as well!

Pretty amazing sell out. I think lowering the print run gave buyers a little motivation to move faster than before. Though even when you adjust for the 250 copy difference in print runs this is still record setting.

No doubt. It’s legendary. It was a bit of a plot twist for the AGEs to storm the stage like that. I thought we were going to see the first ever matching preorder sell out with nothing for the public sale. We’ll see what happens when we’re at 350.

In a couple weeks I’ll be counting down the poetry book. That’ll be wild I’m sure.

I'm wondering how many people ordered multiple AGEs to resell at profit once they saw how quick it was selling.
I'll admit I considered it but decided to stick with the one for myself.
Whats the opinion on the rise in its value on the secondary market?
I don't see it being to high...maybe double? $250ish?

My guess is they’ll start at $200. Or $175. Depending on how many people bought just to sell. If eBay is loaded with them then they won’t see $250 for a while. But I really don’t know. With the way they flew out and the lower print run, we might not see all that many for sale.

Yes, it was an interesting plot twist to be honest. I only bought one but i have seen someone mention that she bought four of them, probably with the intention of resale but who knows right.

The poetry book sounds intriguing although i haven't read much poetry in my life. But it made me think about it a lot and i did research it on the world wide web.
I'm thinking that it might be either Be With by Forrest Gander (https://www.pulitzer.org/winners/forrest-gander) or Half-Light: Collected Poems 1965-2016 by Frank Bidart. (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Half-light:_Collected_Poems_1965%E2%80%932016)

Whatever the case, it will be interesting to see it's outcome. 😉

No, not hacked. The way these bulk text message apps work is that you are assigned a shared number code. This number is shared across multiple accounts. So it's possible for another company to have that same shared code. I would imagine that you would have to opt-in to that if you're receiving texts from it from a different company. If you didn't opt in, then it's spam.

Regarding the next book: While any Pulitzer Prize winning poetry is sure to be impressive, 2012’s winner sounds like it would be right up our alley.

“Life on Mars, by Tracy K. Smith

A collection of bold, skillful poems, taking readers into the universe and moving them to an authentic mix of joy and pain.

With allusions to David Bowie and interplanetary travel, Life on Mars imagines a soundtrack for the universe to accompany the discoveries, failures, and oddities of human existence. In these brilliant new poems, Tracy K. Smith imagines a sci-fi future sucked clean of any real dangers, contemplates the dark matter that keeps people both close and distant, and revisits the kitschy concepts like “love” and “illness” now relegated to the Museum of Obsolescence. These reveal the realities of life lived here, on the ground, where a daughter is imprisoned in the basement by her own father, where celebrities and pop stars walk among us, and where the poet herself loses her father, one of the engineers who worked on the Hubble Telescope. With this remarkable third collection, Smith establishes herself as among the best poets of her generation.”

Hm, well it's back to the drawing board for us i suppose. 🙃

Time and Materials: Poems, 1997-2005 by Robert Hass

The poems in Robert Hass's new collection—his first to appear in a decade—are grounded in the beauty and energy of the physical world, and in the bafflement of the present moment in American culture. This work is breathtakingly immediate, stylistically varied, redemptive, and wise.

His familiar landscapes are here—San Francisco, the Northern California coast, the Sierra high country—in addition to some of his oft-explored themes: art; the natural world; the nature of desire; the violence of history; the power and limits of language; and, as in his other books, domestic life and the conversation between men and women. New themes emerge as well, perhaps: the essence of memory and of time.

The works here look at paintings, at Gerhard Richter as well as Vermeer, and pay tribute to his particular literary masters, friend Czesław Miłosz, the great Swedish poet Tomas Tranströmer, Horace, Whitman, Stevens, Nietszche, and Lucretius. We are offered glimpses of a surpris*ingly green and vibrant twenty-first-century Berlin; of the demilitarized zone between the Koreas; of a Bangkok night, a Mexican desert, and an early summer morning in Paris, all brought into a vivid present and with a passionate meditation on what it is and has been to be alive. "It has always been Mr. Hass's aim," the New York Times Book Review wrote, "to get the whole man, head and heart and hands and everything else, into his poetry."

Every new volume by Robert Hass is a major event in poetry, and this beautiful collection is no exception.

[Patrick]

I know right? Usually people before me, with one exception though, guess the book right but (with a lot of other contestants) this one almost seems to be nearly impossible to guess right though the biggest hint given in the schedule is that the author is still alive.

Ah well, it keeps us busy with guessing the book. 😬

[Patrick]

It would be impressive if it’s the 2020 winner since that was just announced five months ago, but what are the odds of that? Jericho Brown’s “The Testament” sounds good though.

[zelig]

This book has been in the works for just over 18 months. Back then, things were quite different to how they are now in terms of demand. An interesting fact about this one is that I was thinking about launching the press with it. I was sitting around, trying to figure out how to get this publishing idea off the ground, and what book I would do first. I was over at the letterpress printer who ended up printing the text pages of the portfolio, and I proposed that we go out with this book of poetry. I looked into it at the time, but didn't get anywhere. This was before I even thought about the portfolio.

Well, as you know, it was the portfolio that ended up being the first publication, then in early 2019 I started to look at this again. Once it was under contract, it progressed very slowly. There were some delays and such. Anyway, it feels to me that this book has been in the works for 4 years! So I am really excited to finally have it see the light of day.

Why I chose this one, is that many years ago, when I first got into poetry, a friend had given a copy to me as a house warming gift when I moved into a new apartment. I read it, and became a fan of the poet. Over the years, I collected the first editions of his other volumes. And his style also had an influence on my own writing. So it seemed like the obvious choice to me.

But anyway, I'm just really pleased to finally get this book out after all this time, and I'm equally pleased with how it has turned out.

Farrell, it’s a living author - or at least was recently enough to sign the limitation pages.

Ended at $287. Tell me I got it at a good price? Not really into arcs but 2 from Paul himself, and the need for a copy of the Road has changed my view of them.

I think it’s a great price. Especially considering The Road never had an AGE.

Cheers Jeff, never thought of that. It will go nicely with my broadsheet, and bookmark! Very pleased

Congrats on that THE ROAD ARC. That’s one I would love to have.

Speaking of empty wishes, someone buy me Suntup’s THE TIME MACHINE that is on eBay.

[Splync]

Thanks Patrick. It’s not that one. No one has actually guessed this book. It might be the only one!

Has anyone guessed The World Doesn't End by Charles Simic? ;-)

I'm glad places like Lividian exist that sell other publishers books. Especially because I don't have to pay right away. That's huge bonus for me right now.

I ordered 3 copies. One for me, one for my brother for his birthday who is a huge sci-fi fan, and just an extra copy to sell or for another gift.

[CyberGhostface]

Got my shipping notice for Oskar’s cube.

[Patrick]

In “The Road to Misery,” Paul talks a lot about failure and overcoming it. The poetry book could be 2008’s Pulitzer Prize winner, FAILURE, by Philip Schultz. That could have been Suntup Editions’ inaugural publication. The name “Failure” seems like an odd way to start off, but we’re talking about a guy who went with “Misery” instead.

However I get the impression from Paul’s comment that the book was probably earlier than 2008. I would say James Tate, but the Suntup editions will be signed by the author and Tate passed away five years ago. I was going to guess THE WORLD DOESN’T END (1990) but Slynic already said Charles Simic. So to avoid copying him... I’m kind of hoping for MOY SAND AND GRAVEL (2003) by Paul Muldoon or THE FLYING CHANGE (1986) by Henry S. Taylor. From what I’ve read, they both sound intriguing.

[shaq]

I have to say, i know i am overly excited in the days beforw a release, but imagine how Paul must feel, especially this one being the poetry book he has being working on for such a long time.

Enjoy the moment Paul.

[MikeDuke]

Indeed. It must be very satisfying to complete this one. And as a person who read and wrote poetry in the past, I am sure I will love whatever it is. At the end of one long journey only to start a new one.
Way to stick with it Paul.

I'm very excited for this collection (I'm also excited that I got a prediction correct)!

My wallet is significantly less excited... Gonna have to get another job soon to feed my Suntup addiction.

I got a general email and an email to buy, which I did.

[cit74]

I would be curious if the initial email wave only went to those who owned scanner with numbers 150 or less. Then a general email would go out to everyone else on the email list prior to Saturday - when it would open up for general pre-order in case there were any available? I have #62 - so I did receive an email today

Well, since you're inviting me in, I am absolutely thrilled and count myself very lucky that I can get this book to match its siblings. There's poetry in the title when I consider the when I'm living in. There's optimism and despair in equal measure. The optimism in the persistence of life. The pessimism in knowing it won't always include me. The world doesn't end but I will. The world doesn't end but the economy can bottom out. The world doesn't end but neither does suffering. The world has a lot of stuff bundled with it.

Maybe it's the slender stature, but I keep looking at the product page and thinking about The Lottery. My 1/1 copy of The Lottery is a jewel in my collection. Every part of that book is pure art. I'll let lotuz do the descriptions if he wishes but if this book is anything like that one, it'll be a book I'll keep going back to.

Also, I love that this book will force me to expand, to consider poetry. It's possible that I won't connect with it. That's the risk every reader faces every time we open a cover on any book. I'll sell it if that's the case. Because like Neuromancer, this will be a book that deserves to be with a real fan.

For now, I feel very lucky to stand in the one place where the world's isn't ending.

[GenericEric]

Well said.

I can definitely tell you're a writer, Jeff.

[zelig]

Having now looked into this further, it isn't a binding error. It's a printing error on some copies of the Numbered edition. Some sheets were fed the wrong way into the press. Since it isn't something that can be "fixed", we have offered anyone who emailed about it two options. You can return the book for a full refund, or keep the book and receive a partial refund in the form of store credit. My apologies for the error. To err is human (https://idioms.thefreedictionary.com/to+err+is+human).

On a related note, I just got in an order of leather for a certain rebinding project, and it was the wrong color from what I ordered. About 20% of my time is spent fixing other people's mistakes. And of course, I have been known to make a few myself. It's all very frustrating, but unfortunately a part of our existence.

Hey, Paul. If you ever decide to do another poetry collection again, I wouldn't mind seeing Charles Bukowski get the Suntup treatment. Such a brilliant writer.

Hey, Paul. If you ever decide to do another poetry collection again, I wouldn't mind seeing Charles Bukowski get the Suntup treatment. Such a brilliant writer.

Yes, agreed. Bukowski's work is great. I always relate so well to his famous shoelace poem. These sections resonate:

it’s the continuing series of small tragedies
that send a man to the
madhouse…

...with each broken shoelace
out of one hundred broken shoelaces,
one man, one woman, one
thing
enters a
madhouse.

Well, if you got the AGE, as I mentioned before, you should just read that one because that does not have this issue.

[MikeDuke]

Plus, as of now there are both editions available and it looks like the lettered IS NOT going to lottery. At least not at this point.

[scottb]

It's a great testament to the power of the Suntup Editions brand that a book of poetry is selling this quickly. It took Arion Press around eight years to sell out Stone From Delphi. Granted, it was twice the price and twice the print run but it was also twice as long with many illustrations and it was Seamus Heaney.

Darn, I have the defective variant of F451

Very few had those errors. It’s actually not a binding issue, it’s a printing mistake. So far six people have come forward. Submit the contact form and we will offer you two options to resolve it. Again, apologies to those who have the wrong page order.

[Brian861]

Not a poetry fan but appreciating those of you who are; my biggest takeaway from this is the fact that Paul didn't obligate us non-fans to purchase the book to keep our number. It also allows poetry fans to place the book into their hands without worry of a huge aftermarket markup. At least for the time being I believe.

My thoughts were originally joe hill nosferatu, but lack of age put paid.

A quick google and Seed was the only one that seemed to fall into gothic suspense, or whatever that description was.

Well, Stephen King does too, but again, increased numbers and lack of age makes it seem unlikely.

[Garrell]

Seed was a good story, creepy.

[Joe315]

I’m thinking it’s not Seed because of the 350 limitation. I’d think if it was an Ahlborn book it would be 500 limitation to match Brother.

[MikeDuke]

I agree. If it was an Ahiborn book I would think it would be 500 so everybody who bought Brother could match.

[Noxus35]

I’m thinking it’s not Seed because of the 350 limitation. I’d think if it was an Ahlborn book it would be 500 limitation to match Brother.

Yes, that thought has crossed my mind.
But could it be Child of God by Cormac McCarthy?

Is that considered to be a tale of gothic horror ?

Wow. That book sounds intense. And Wikipedia describes it as Gothic, philosophical and horror. Paul's description says it's a gothic horror. Plus, since McCarthy doesn't sign The Road any more, it may give Paul a chance for us to get a book signed by him. But it does sound like a great read.

[shaq]

I have started to read brother and after 5 or 6 pages i am creeped out.

I do think Seed purely for the description.

If Joe Hill, then it will sit nicely with my numbered horns i received yesterday

[Nemoh21]

Anything written prior to The All the Pretty Horses trilogy is considered to be McCarthys “southern gothic” period. So that would include Child of God , Outer Dark, Suttree, The Orchard Keeper. The exception would be Blood Meridian. Of those 4 I would say Outer Dark would be the only one I’d consider “horror” . I remember be it being a very dark disturbing read. As much as I’m rooting/praying for this to be the case it seems highly unlikely. I just can’t imagine McCarthy agreeing to a signed 350 limited edition print run of one of his novels when he 1) rarely does limited editions of his novels, the Road being the only one I’m aware of 2) he doesn’t sign much at any point in his career. I can’t imagine at his age he would start now.

It almost feels like a certainty this is a Ahlborn novel. The print run, the gothic and horror clues all but confirm this.

McCarthy has done other signed limited editions, like the B.E.Trice s/l of No Country for Old Men.

Ah yes I forgot about that one. Man that would have nice to get a hold of at publication. He also did one for all the pretty horses. I mean it really wasn’t a S/l I think he just signed x amount of trade copies at release and it was released as a SL.

[Splync]

I agree. If it was an Ahiborn book I would think it would be 500 so everybody who bought Brother could match.

My thinking is that Brother having 500 copies was a one-off thing. It was still very early in the days of Suntup and doing 500 copies may have just seemed like a great idea at the time.

But now that over a dozen other publications have made their way through the pipeline, I can see Paul wanting to limit the number of copies for Seed. It would follow the lines of the current limitation model and it'll lead to a quicker sell out (especially with how long Brother has been available).

And it would make sense for this to be the first title to jump to 350 copies, since we know that Ania was willing to sign 500.

Or I could be completely wrong! But I figured I'd share my thoughts...

[MikeDuke]

You could be right. All your points are valid. So Seed seems to be the prevailing thought though. Rather than a McCarthy.
Look, I am just happy I can stay on the train and I am sure whatever Paul does, it will be very nice.

[GenericEric]

At this point I'll surprised if it's not Seed.

I loved Brother and Seed sounds intriguing. I'm sure it'll be a beautiful edition as always.

[Brian861]

[GenericEric]

Since this is the first 350 print run, I'm sure there will be people buying the book just so they can have rights for future 350 print runs.

So I'm assume when the next book goes to public sale, they'll be 100 available plus whatever is left after the matching number presale

I am not positive on this next part but I don't think there will be any rights given to books 251-350 either. Since not all books will be produxed with a run of 350. Maybe Paul will pop in and confirm that 2nd part.

Paul, I have a couple questions about the different styles you use for the books (I apologize if you have answered this before).

What drives the choices between a standard slipcase versus the two piece box used on Horns (along with LTROI, ASD, Necormancer)?

Same question but with the spine design: flat like on The Auctioneer vs rounded on all the others?

Why do some slipcases have the titles on the box, while others don't (I'm pretty sure that is a material restriction like with the slick used on Red Dragon)?

Thanks!

[kingfan2323]

Received my copy of The Auctioneer. Really beautiful design. Feels "appropriate" and fits the mood of the book. Well done.

This is not an easy question to answer. Part of the decision may be driven by how much it costs to produce the edition, and whether there is any room for a higher priced enclosure. Other factors may be the overall design, and whether it might benefit from a capped slipcase. So we'd consider the production as a whole. And there are other considerations which are difficult to quantify, or put into words.

As for the spine, also a tough one to answer. I like the way a flatback binding looks in a slipcase. It's all very square, and straight and it looks good. For a book like The Auctioneer, it seemed incongruous to have a rounded spine for that particular story. So the theme, or the type of story plays a part. 1984 will have a flat spine. That will look great in the acrylic case. And there's also another one coming up very soon.

And now, stamping on slipcase spines. I actually like some slipcases with no stamping. Maybe I have an odd view on this. Sometimes I see no need to put anything on the spine of a slipcase. Sometimes it's more about the design or material used. But of course, I don't feel strongly either way, because most have printing or stamping on the spines. There are times when we are figuring out what to do with the spine of a slipcase, and I don't want to put anything on it, and then I hear the voices of some of our customers who I know like to display the books with the slipcase facing out. So we end up doing something with the spine. This happened with the Simic poetry book. That is a full Japanese cloth case, and I wasn't intending to do anything on the spine, but I ended up putting a stamped label on it. And I think it looks sharp.

Another two examples, the Numbered Wells books. I just didn't feel it was needed, and would have interfered with, or disturbed the letterpress printed design. At least that's my opinion. For that brocade, yes I wouldn't even want to attempt to stamp that, and applying a label wasn't an option for me.

[Brian861]

I say cap them all! I love that design. Although, the spine on Horns is so gorgeous, it's almost a sin to keep it covered up.

[jeffingoff]

Cap ‘em All was Suntupica’s first album.

I love those capped slipcases. But I also love Paul’s mission to serve the work. And if it includes capped slipcases, then great.

It’s fantastic to see a shelf full of unique editions that broadcast the reading experience from just the spines.

Question regarding the boards for The Auctioneer. I presume that the bumps and knocks are standard for the handmade paper boards, right?

I imagine that they're all fairly unique covers given the process, but I just wanted to be sure.

Captured my bumps/knocks in my unboxing (I suppose I can call them "imperfections," but in the savvy Ian Malcolm-like way). Either way, this is probably one of the nicest feeling covers I've ever laid my hands on!

https://youtu.be/nY_2gCH1txw

Seriously, another one knocked out of the park! Now to wait for my Paperback from Hell edition, as I dare not read this copy...

[zelig]

I’m pleased you like it! And I enjoyed your video! What you’re seeing there are not imperfections. Those bumps are straw fibers. The papers are made by hand using bales of straw from fields near the paper maker’s workshop. We chose this paper because of its rustic appearance, the tactile experience, and the “earthy” way in which it is made. Also, being handmade, each sheet is unique in some way. These are not mass produced, machine made papers, so the surface area may differ from sheet to sheet. Some may have more fibers embedded in the paper and some may have less. It makes for an immersive experience.

I see based on the intro that The Auctioneer was set in 2018. How far out is publishing calendar of confirmed books? 2023? 2024?

Thank you, sir! I had figured as much, so thank you for assuaging my fears.

To be fair, the intro by Grady Hendrix is the same one that he wrote for the trade edition being released via Valancourt Books. And I believe we have Hendrix's Paperbacks From Hell writings to thank for that trade edition.

So while this book may have been planned by Suntup for some time, the intro would likely have been written regardless. It may have just been a perfect opportunity for the Suntup Edition to line up with the new trade edition. :-)

So while this book may have been planned by Suntup for some time, the intro would likely have been written regardless. It may have just been a perfect opportunity for the Suntup Edition to line up with the new trade edition. :-)

I would bet Paul is that far ahead yes. 100%

Ah. Got that mixed up with the preface.

The Auctioneer is such a sweet production, I don't know if I'll be able to wait for the AGE to read it. Right now, I'm reading the ARC of Neuromancer and loving it! We'll see what I get at next. Probably Westlake Soul.

Anyway, I wanted to ask if The World Doesn't End will ship right after the Wells set. So I'll ask. Will The World Doesn't End ship right after the Wells set? It looks like that numbered edition is all done. And I have the shelf space. I'm also anxious for Bibliomysteries. But I'll rein in those horses and get the anxiety rat off the wheel powering my brain. I realize I'm getting itchy. I understand it's a bad look to be this openly greedy. I'm aware that I just got The Auctioneer and the Wells books will be arriving soon, but it isn't enough, man. It's just not enough.

Really don't burn yourself out, Paul! Seriously.

Just finished The Auctioneer this afternoon and I really enjoyed it. You could read your ARC of it as well.

I could read the ARC. But I read the Red Dragon ARC and the lamination on the back cover started separating. So I'm paranoid about ruining these books. I'm only reading the one for Neuromancer because there will be no AGE.

Create one of your custom covers for it :)

If everything is delivered on schedule, then here's how I see the shipping through the end of 2020. The Wells books and cases are already on hand and prepped. These will likely ship by the end of this week. That will include the Numbered editions of The Invisible Man and The War of the Worlds, and the Lettered edition of The Invisible Man.

After this, I expect to ship the Artist edition of Let the Right One In, followed by The World Doesn't End. But depending on what comes in first, those could switch. And finally, provided we receive the cases on time, we should be able to ship both editions of Bibliomysteries before year end.

All of that is music, Paul. Thank you. It'll be a balm to the burn of 2020 for sure.

I say without exaggeration that continuing to get Suntup releases over these last eight months has been legitimately helpful, psychologically :)

...There are times when we are figuring out what to do with the spine of a slipcase, and I don't want to put anything on it, and then I hear the voices of some of our customers who I know like to display the books with the slipcase facing out. So we end up doing something with the spine. This happened with the Simic poetry book. That is a full Japanese cloth case, and I wasn't intending to do anything on the spine, but I ended up putting a stamped label on it. And I think it looks sharp.

Another two examples, the Numbered Wells books. I just didn't feel it was needed, and would have interfered with, or disturbed the letterpress printed design. At least that's my opinion. For that brocade, yes I wouldn't even want to attempt to stamp that, and applying a label wasn't an option for me.

I am one who displays my Suntup books with the spine out most of the time and I had advocated in the early days for names on spines. That was around the time of first few books being released and only one of the first four non-SKs was clearly distinguishable (HORNS). However these days I really enjoy the lack of writing on many of the spines when they have some other creative hint at what the book may be, such as RB, TTM, RD, and the other Wells books when they arrive.

Wow! It’s going to be a jam-packed next two months!

Thanks for sharing your perspectives and the updates, Paul.

All sounds great to me Paul.

I was going to ask this same thing, Jeff, because I was getting itchy. But it is a bad look to to be so openly greedy so I decided not to inquire. Thanks though.

Being bad feels pretty good, doesn't it Jeff.

It does! And since looking bad is already expected of me, I can take the bullet for the team.

[MikeDuke]

And I may walk with a limp, and get the occasional spasm, in my leg, but at least I do it with style with my Suntup cane which I been complimented several times on.
