I'm thinking Ready Player One could be a good fit for March.

Subterranean Press did RPO already. Don’t think it needs another edition.

[atari_guy]

I've got the one from Subterranean Press, and I thought the same thing when someone guessed it from a previous announcement. But I've since noticed that Suntup has done several books that have been done before by other publishers. I wouldn't mind a nicer version of Ready Player One than what Subterranean did. However, I've since realized that it's been more than "a few" years since the book was published.

I think it does. Subpress was boring and suntup would be much better.

Bummed we're not getting Hannibal. :cry:

Me too. I was hoping for it in order to get the matching number for the third title.

This'll likely be the quarter that I get off the train. It's going to be far too expensive for me.

It also just had that fancy rebinding, though that isn't necessarily the same thing.

Rich Tong did the binding work on that, so it's likely among the best.

Yeah, probably me as well. I’ll stick to the AE’s and try to grab a numbered edition of something I like on the secondary market. Retiring next month and can’t see having a $500 book payment every month on top of all the other books I buy.

Here, here! Was hoping for another Harris or Barker soon but man, I could be buying a lot of books that I actually want with my Auctioneer, errr Suntup money every month. :lol1:

[GenericEric]

Pretty cool that the artist edition of the February book is going to be letterpress too. Animal Farm is novella length so if it is that book I can see why the artist edition would be letterpress as well.

[MikeDuke]

Tracking for numbered Dr. Moreau. YAY.

Mine is delayed due to binding issues. I would much prefer the delay over receiving a book with issues.

[RichardX]

My guesses:

Jan - 'The Handmaid's Tale' - Margaret Atwood
Feb - 'Animal Farm' - George Orwell
Mar - 'Dark Matter' - Blake Crouch

That sound about right. I'm sure there is a subjective element behind the reaction to any book published, but none of those does it for me. Atwood, in particular, is wildly overhyped.

Wildly overhyped. It got media attention in the Trump era for woke political reasons by people who likely never read it or just watched the TV show believing this made them "hep." As I said, likes and dislikes are subjective. There is no right or wrong when it comes to books. So the "majority" should knock themselves out with joy. I'll gladly pass.

[Patrick]

I have yet to hear any serious book prediction for Q1 that wouldn’t excite me. I’m hyped for everything Q1!

Usually I look at the production updates as a mildly pleasant experience and then put them out of mind. Today however, I’m excited that all editions of CHARLIE have completed printing. One step closer. This book can’t come fast enough for me.

Finally, Paul, you’ve outdone yourself on this year end thank you gift. Very generous of you!

[Brian861]

I'm not normally an ARC guy but when presented with this opportunity, I simply couldn't pass it up. The movie is what started my fascination with vs fear of these misunderstood, majestic creatures.

what is the year end gift?

a portfolio of prints from all of the books announced in 2021 (except Charlie and the chocolate factory) for anyone who made 10 (I think it was 10) purchases during the past year

[shaq]

It is 10 books. I made it to 5, came off the train and then bought 3 on the secondary, well 4 if you count The Road, but that isn’t a 2021 book. My other secondary ones are matching my train number of 3 excellent books (I couldn’t say no to those)

Replay, Blackwater and Johnny.

Sorry, I went off on one thinking about the great scores I had. Next year will be waiting patiently for another Harris book to accompany RD and Silence.

Back to the point, I think it is a wonderful gift for those supporting Paul directly, brilliant gesture.

Happy holidays all.

[herbertwest]

There are still 4 numbered copies of "The Butcher Boy" : https://shop.suntup.press/collections/in-print-editions/products/the-butcher-boy-by-patrick-mccabe-numbered-edition

Got my Dr. Moreau a few days ago. I like it a lot. I need to really go through it, but this year was a great year. Can't wait for next year.

Just when you think it can't get any better, Paul says:

Happy New Year! In December, we mentioned we are producing a free art portfolio as a holiday gift to our loyal customers, featuring one illustration from each of our titles announced in 2021, plus an all-new illustration from Jason Mowry, who previously illustrated our edition of Red Dragon. We are delighted to reveal this magnificent new exclusive piece of artwork for the portfolio, which Jason Mowry will sign. The art portfolio will also include a cover sheet noting the limitation, which I will sign.

To qualify for this free holiday gift, we had originally stated that you must have purchased at least 10 books during 2021. Nearly 500 people qualified to receive the portfolio. However, in order to allow this gift to be experienced by more people, we have decided to make a small change. We are excited to share the update that if you purchased at least 7 books during 2021, you now automatically qualify to receive the portfolio. This means about 150 more customers will be able to enjoy this free holiday gift.

As we get closer to shipping, customers who qualify will receive an email notification confirming their address and that they qualified for the free gift.

Thank you again for your continued support, and I look forward to sharing many new books with you in the New Year.

[MikeDuke]

That is really cool and very nice of Paul to do that.

[Splync]

Paul, are some of the books used in Mowrey's piece designs of any upcoming titles? There are a lot that I recognize (Hex, Horns, Blood Meridian, and so on), but there are a couple that don't look familiar.

[herbertwest]

Wow, that's pretty cool ! And in all honnesty, pretty exceptionnal : so that means a gift to about 650 people?
That definitely must represent quite a budget, which I don't think many publishers have/use for such a gesture.
Simply : wow !

By any chance, did anybody compile a list of the books put to preorder in 2021?
Allowing quickly to check if we may qualify to it :)

I didn’t qualify but I had a brilliant year.

I bought 5 direct from Paul (6 if you include his poems). I was gifted 2 arcs from Suntup, and I bought 3 of my old number from the next owner on the train.

Oh and The Road too.

So much for slowing down after Blood Meridian lol

No upcoming titles are in the illustration. It’s only titles that have already been announced. I had a fun time trying to identify them.

So the real hint is that the next bookmark will have a tassel, right?!

Hi Paul, just want to clarify that you already know who qualifies, and we don't need to send an email with order numbers.

Thanks,

[Patrick]

Mowry’s artpiece is wonderful! I love all the Suntup tie-ins, including that the overall feel is a call back to The Reader. Very generous of you, Paul, and somehow not a surprise that you would expand the qualification to include more people. You’re a good man.

I like the video, but I have no idea what the book is. The art pieces that were shown look really good though. And those look like scrabble tiles again. But I could be wrong.

It's 'The Handmaid's Tale' by Margaret Atwood - the Scrabble pieces are a dead giveaway.

Recently finished reading Suntup's edition of 'A Scanner Darkly'. While I'd read it previously I'd forgotten just how tragic the story is. I'm too young to relate to the drug culture that inspired the novel, but the humanity that Dick ensures we can see in the characters really comes through. I love the art that Vanessa Lemen created for this. The illustrations are just pitch perfect in theme and placement. They really speak to the paranoia, loss of identity, and pervasive surveillance that is present throughout the novel. For some reason I'd just assumed these were digital, but are apparently oil on board - I bet the originals are just amazing to see in person.

Since we’re sharing art, I rarely buy any of the originals from our books but it made sense to get this one.

https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20220115/c7690ed075e4e78db9e8ca7a5c7a3d6c.jpg

That's one amazing piece of art Paul! And it totally makes sense to own it. 😎

Love that piece, Paul. Do the artists often sell the originals created for Suntup Editions? If so, what's the appropriate way to find out about a particular piece? Contact the artist directly or contact Suntup Editions? I want to be as little of a bother as possible but have no idea how the rights or agreements work with the art.

[zelig]

Sure, you would just contact the artist directly. And yes I have seen where people have purchased original art from some of our editions. Good luck!

Paul,

In your last facebook video, at 9min03 you mention a "cat slipcase" for "a scanner darkly". Any chance to know more about what that is?
I am not sure to understand from the website pictures

I believe he said “capped” slipcase.

Not very topical, but I am about a third into the Wolfen, and I’m really enjoying it. It reads more like a police procedural than a horror novel, at least so far, but that’s right up my alley – I quite like police procedurals. The prose is very down to earth and straightforward, which suits the material.

Another title I probably would not have read, if it weren’t a Suntup publication.

[Patrick]

Becca and Paul, thanks for sharing your artwork originals. They’re wonderful. Paul, what is the size of the Mowry original piece?

[CyberGhostface]

I’m offering to sell The Butcher Boy with rights at a reduced price of $250 (a hundred and twenty-five dollars off the list price).

Long story short I’m hoping to get matching numbers for Hannibal with my Silence of the Lambs but staying on the rights train has become a bit difficult for me.

My request is that whoever buys the rights sells me their copy of Hannibal with the matching number. I can get you a copy if you want one in your collection (so it would just be a trade). If you were to jump off before then I just ask that you offer to sell the rights back. (Although if it doesn’t come out this year I’ll probably give up.)

The book and movie have very different plots. The movie is flawed in a lot of respects but one of those that you have to watch in context. NYC was a battleground at the time it was filmed. Areas of the city looked like Germany after WWII. Nothing but rubble. A scary time even by today's standards. The movie captures some of that. And Old Albert Finney is a hoot.

NYC was a battleground at the time it was filmed. Areas of the city looked like Germany after WWII. Nothing but rubble. A scary time even by today's standards. The movie captures some of that.

Off topic - but another film that covers NYC during this time period is the little seen 'The Wolf Hour' from 2019. It's not a great movie (maybe not even a good movie), but I found it compelling based on Naomi Watt's stunning performance and the sense of time & place it evokes is palpable. As a glacially paced psychological thriller (portrait maybe?) it wont be everyone's cup of tea, but not without points of interest.

Hugely excited for this title, I gave away my paperback a few weeks back in anticipation of this shipping. I've found Prof Amy Hungerford's lecture on 'Blood Meridian' useful in unpacking the novel - on youtube here for folks interested - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FgyZ4ia25gg

This reminds me of when they were filming one of the Purge movies here in Buffalo, NY. They filmed in a neighborhood that looked so downtrodden that they didn't have to do any set dressing to make the street look "abandoned and wartorn".

100%. Beautiful book.

[JeremyM]

Received my copy of 'Blood Meridian' today. I really like the appearance of the book, the starkness and texture of the boards makes it feel like some kind of unhallowed artifact. The binding itself does give me a little pause in regards to durability, especially given the relatively large size of the text block - can definitely feel the signatures shift as you read the book. For the most part, the illustrations reproduced nicely, though the fold-out illustration of the wagon train didn't capture the oranges & yellows of the sandstone walls, washing out to a more uniform red - not sure if that was intentional or not. I do love the fold out illustration here - providing more space for an expansive landscape like this is a great call. I like Antique 6 for the drop caps - nice choice.

The introduction covers a lot of the commonly referenced literary allusions - Melville & Milton. I'm not sure I've heard anyone else mention Conrad's Kurtz previously though. Easton Ellis also makes a point of referencing the cinematic aspect of the novel. I'll add that for me, 'The Proposition', is as close to 'Blood Meridian' in spirit as a movie has come so far.

Unfortunately I think there’s something wrong with my enclosure. It doesn’t seem to hold my copy all that well. Every time I put the book in the enclosure and on the shelf I find the book back in my hands. It never stays in the enclosure for longer than 10 minutes. I can’t find a defect or any damage but damnit if the book won’t sit in there.

[stroppygoblin]

One small attention to detail that some of you Blood Meridian numbered owners may have missed. When you take the book out of the tray case, take a look at the bottom insert that the book is resting on. Because of the unusual way the book is bound, it is thicker at the spine than it is at the page edge, so it's effectively a 'wedge' shape tapering from left to right. The tray case is built to accommodate this and the floor is tapered in the opposite direction to allow for the slope, meaning the book lies absolutely flat in the case and is supported throughout.

I think this is as cool as hell. :cool:

So the inside of the case is lower at the spine part of the book. And the slant in the book makes it even? That's so ingenious. I never would have noticed that.

A year or so ago, I saw in french shops a mook (magazine/book) about "Dune" that was using the same kind of page binding.
Obviously it was a way cheaper and not as impressive quality, but that's only one I saw in person. And already I thought it was quite interesting to see. Quite unusual :)

I think you could toss it if you don’t like the look. But it seems there’s a risk of the print getting scuffed/rubbed if you put it in and out of the slipcase often enough. So yeah I’d say it was to insure the book arrived in pristine shape, but I’m keeping mine to preserve the boards. And I happen to like the look of the protected spine. Though I show mine slipcase side out as Patrick instructed me to.

Well, I did get both of them and they are really nice. Can't wait for Wolfen.

Hi Paul, I just received this beautiful AE of Guests, it's lovely. Might I ask, all the other AEs have been shrinkwrapped (except for Horns because Hill signed) when received but this one was not. It's not that important a question but I have a curious mind sometimes and was just wondering why this one was not shrinkwrapped?

Thanks

I also have a serious question.
Who does write those numbers and letters in the books?

Hi Tommy. Simple answer is that someone at the bookbinder did not read our instructions. We asked for shrink wrap, and we got poly bags. If I had a penny for every time a request or instruction was ignored...

Good question. I stopped doing this myself after the first few books because my handwriting wasn't very pretty. To answer your question, my niece and her daughter number & letter the books.

We are hand numbering The Wolfen today. I promise to wash our hands before handling the books.

I'm happy to be 3,000 miles from those donuts :) I'm looking forward to the Numbered Wolfen, though!

Wolfen numbered will soon be on it's way.

Do they also sign the books? :idea:

Interesting that you ask this (and I do get the joke!), as I was thinking about possibly having an AE signed by Paul, his niece and his daughter sent to me as a 'unique' Suntup book, bearing the signatures of the publisher and the book "numberers", but on second thought I decided that would be too pushy.

[MikeDuke]

Got the "Have you moved" email for Johnny got his gun" numbered today.
Awesome.

Me too! And received my AE Guests yesterday, beautiful book!!

[MikeDuke]

That's one of the AE's I did not get, but I did get some and have at least one or two more AE's on the way.

Wow you don’t mess around Tim. That’s some good looking donuts right there.

Even though it would been a lot, that's a regret. But I am getting the numbered so.... I can wait.

Oops wrong thread

[MikeDuke]

Got have you moved for Jonny numbered. Wow. Wolfen and Johnny. Not too bad.

[MikeDuke]

I received Wolfen. Very impressive. I should get Johnny this Fri and I got an email about the art portfolio. It will be shipping soon (1-2 weeks) but with no tracking.

[Patrick]

This run of back-to-back releases has been a slice of Heaven!

[jeffingoff]

Just got the Imajica AE. WITHOUT A DOUBT the most impressive AE to date. I won’t say any more for those still waiting but you all went above and beyond here. Yet again.

Paul made a WONDERFUL post on Facebook. About quality control. If no one is in the fan group and wants to read it let me know:)

Man, I wish I stepped up and got that. But at the time, I thought the combined price was too much. I have changed my tune on that. Maybe I can get one, one day.

That was a fantastic post It's kind of long, so let someone else copy and paste if they want too. But, I agree %100. I just don't know if it should be posted publicly. I would, but I don't want to get yelled at.
AH... Screw it. Here is the post. Bring the pain if I should have not done it.


"I was about to reply to that post about the defect on that copy of Johnny Got His Gun, but I see it was deleted. So I'm just going to post this anyway.
I'm in the process of writing a lengthy article on the topic of quality. But I'll tell you, some sensitivity in this regard would be so very much appreciated. I can guarantee you one thing, that no matter how disappointed or frustrated a customer is after receiving a book with a defect or imperfection, I am exponentially more disappointed and frustrated. Think about this. Myself and my team have spent anywhere from 1 to 2 years working on every minor detail of a book, details you wouldn't even think about; working 6-7 days a week. I literally put my blood, sweat and tears into making these books.
Now the time comes to finally take possession of the edition, and I'm excited to ship the orders. Then I sit down after a long day dealing with all kinds of problems as one might experience in any business, and I take a look at Facebook and see the blown-up, zoomed-in pictures in living color of a defect. I cannot begin to describe how disheartening that is for me. Then to add insult to injury, the posts can sometimes be insensitive, accusatory and at times outright rude and disrespectful. It's like being kicked when you are down.
I get it. I was a big book collector, and I think like a collector. I have the heart of a collector and book lover. I know how it is. You spend all this money on a book, and you expect perfection, or close to it. But in the real world, no matter how much you spend on something, it just doesn't work that way.
As others have pointed out, quality is extremely important to me. I mean, extremely important. I've rejected books, cases, etc. because of imperfections and defects. In fact, I just rejected the covering material we'd chosen for the Blackwater Numbered slipcase after seeing a prototype of the box. I'm paying triple the price now for a better material just so it can look good for everyone.
Let me tell you, no publisher is immune to quality issues, and you simply cannot eliminate them. No matter how much muscle you put behind it. It's also impossible to inspect every page of every copy of every edition of every title. Things can slip through at the binder or printer. I have been let down many times by binders, and when I have, I take my business elsewhere. We have our own quality check in-house as well, but when you are handling and shipping hundreds of books, something can get missed. It happens.
I have a responsibility to my customers. That is, you paid good money for your books. It is my responsibility to deliver those books to you in a timely manner, and to make sure you are a happy camper. I take that responsibility very seriously, and when something goes awry, I do everything in my power to fix it.
All I ever ask is to be courteous and respectful. If you have a concern over quality, of course let us know. If you must post online, that is your right to do so. But you can also simply send us an email, and it will be taken care of. I think you all know by now, I go out of my way to make it right. I take customer service very seriously, and what I can guarantee, is that I will take care of quality issues to the best of my ability.
I really do appreciate our customers and fans of Suntup Editions so much. I've said it before and will say it again, you are what drives us to keep designing and building these editions.
Thank you."

Imajica AE arrived today. I love this novel, and the AE is magnificent. Just beautiful. Imajica is next on my TBR list, and I plan to read this edition, enjoying every page, feature and illustration to the fullest. I can't wait!

Well done, Paul and team. You continue to surprise and delight with each new book.

ISO: Anyone have a copy of the Suntup gift edition of Red Dragon they're willing to part with in the $250 range? Doesn't have to be still in shrink wrap. You can send PM here or email me at ericjohns5000@gmail.com. Thanks.

[GenericEric]

Very impressed with the artist edition of Imajica. Very well put together for such a beast of a book. Love Jody Fallon's art as well. I'm hoping to get a remarque done eventually.

Hi Paul, are you anticipating the April-May-June announcement schedule will drop this week along with the March title?

That was another great video Paul that dealt with CATCF.
