Suntup Editions

[shaq]

I’m hoping that when the the day arrives to make one particular announcement Paul foregoes the clues and puts….


“April 22……Hannibal”


And watch the frenzy commence, including myself.

[ajw2910]

Anyone have a Silence of the Lambs AE for sale?

[zelig]

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

We post the next quarterly schedule on the Monday following the last book announcement of the current quarter. It's all locked and loaded, so will be posted then.


That was another great video Paul that dealt with CATCF.

Thanks Mike. Appreciate it. There are more videos in the pipeline.

[Lookwhoitis]

I will be selling my numbered copy of this weeks announcement if it is Dark Matter by Blake Crouch. Please send me a pm if you are interested.

[shaq]

I haven’t seen todays live feed due to family funeral, and damn, had to come in here after the first 5 seconds to mention that shirt!

Hannibal!

Love it. Here it comes.

Just watched it. Wow, my favourite feed in a long time. So much stuff happening. Working on a book for 3 years.

Really looking forward to Q2 blog.

[MikeDuke]

Yea, it was a great one. I can't imagine working on a book for that long. I am sure it will be a great one when it's done.

[MikeDuke]

Ordered numbered and AE. They both look great. But the lettered is stunning.

[ur2ndbiggestfan]

I hate to say this, but the three different colors are wreaking havoc with the dogs of...er...I mean with my completeness (completist?) gene.

235 numbered left.

[JeremyM]

I really like the illustrations for 'Dark Matter' - just fantastic. The style reminds me a little bit of Phil Hale.

[Garrell]

Amazing Paul. Got AE and numbered, may try getting a lettered on this as he is my favorite.

[MikeDuke]

503 AE
200 numbered
13 lettered
That's what's left. Another one that is really moving.

[MikeDuke]

These are moving so fast, it's hard to keep up.
462 AE
188 numbered

[RC65]

I have the signed (by Crouch) and numbered UK 1st HC from Goldsboro and don’t have shelf room for duplicates, so am skipping this new edition. But if I didn’t have the earlier deluxe edition, I’d be all over this Suntup edition…it’s such a great read, I loved it.

[Lookwhoitis]

I will be selling my numbered copy of this weeks announcement if it is Dark Matter by Blake Crouch. Please send me a pm if you are interested.

Hey all,
Looking for the Suntup artist signed DT cover prints.

If you're going to frame it, then it may be fine. If I remember correctly, the top edge was bumped. But I think that could be flattened with the framing. I just need to make sure I still have them. I'll let you know early next week and I'll put them up for purchase at half the regular price.

[Hunchback Jack]

Paul and team, I’m very much enjoying my reread of Imajica. The prose and story are fantastic, of course, but reading the AE adds so much more to the experience. I love the style of the “illuminated” chapter pages, and the geometric diagram at the head of each is always intriguing. It’s fun to try to relate it to that chapter’s content in some way, as a commentary on the characters relationships, perhaps. I haven’t read the appendix on this topic yet, so I’ll be interested to see what it says about them.

The book itself is very sturdy too; despite its obvious weight, I never feel like that weight is putting too much strain on the binding or boards. It feels designed to be read.

In his introduction (originally for a two-volume edition) the author states that the details of any given edition don’t matter much to him, and that the content of the work is all that matters. Reading this edition, I respectfully disagree.

Much thanks to everyone involved. Outstanding work all around.

I finally got around to reading The Wolfen today, and I love Strieber's new introduction. Another wife came to the rescue (a la Tabitha King) and hauled the typewrite out of the trash, just in case! Sad to hear she's gone now, but it sounds like they made the most of their time together.

So, regarding Q2 2022

April is definitely Hannibal
Any ideas about may / june?

June maybe "American Gods" and even though it's not an "american classic", well, it could be a clue about the title... but then it's not signed by the author
However I do know that one of his daugher is into arts

I don't know about The Omen though, i mean did it actually spawn a franchise or did the movie(s) spawn 3 novelizations?

My personal guess would be The Hellbound Heart, but that's just my guess.

I don't think Hellbound Heart has anything to do with Biblical prophecies, though.

It is either the omen or Left Behind: A Novel of the Earth's Last Days

[St. Troy]

I read the The Omen novel as a teenager; I don't remember much other than that I liked it. I believed this was simply a novelization of an existing movie (and therefore an unlikely Suntup candidate), but a quick look online shows that the Omen novel was written by the same person (David Seltzer) that wrote the screenplay of the (original) movie. This may add a touch of legitimacy to what otherwise would be a simple novelization (Neil Gaiman did something similar with Neverwhere, as did Arthur C. Clarke with 2001: A Space Odyssey - if that's what Seltzer was doing (this is a guess)).

[St. Troy]

...It is either the omen or Left Behind: A Novel of the Earth's Last Days

Is Left Behind considered "one of the most successful horror franchises of all time"?

[Dave1442397]

...It is either the omen or Left Behind: A Novel of the Earth's Last Days

I would certainly hope not :)

[John55]

...It is either the omen or Left Behind: A Novel of the Earth's Last Days

I am leaning towards more of it being the omen than left behind. Hopefully, June's release is slaughterhouse-five.

I just tried myself, and I get PayPal as an option. When you are going through the checkout process, do you get to a screen that says "Shop Pay" at the top? If so, look for a link lower down that says "Alternate payment methods" or something along those lines. Then it will take you to a screen where you can select PayPal.

I received an order yesterday for this jacket with the payment made through PayPal. If what I suggested doesn't work, go with the standard generic tech support response of "clear your browser cache or try a different browser". Although whenever I've been told to do that, it rarely solves the issue. But bottom line is, I can verify that PayPal is available and working for this item. If still no luck, just send me an email using the contact form, and I will send you a link you can use.

The lettered videos are VERY interesting, thanks for sharing Paul!
Especially since I will never have a lettered

The videos I am talking about : https://suntup.press/news/behind-the-scenes-videos-the-wolfen-lettered-edition

Can I ask what those moments means?

First video :
- 00:59 : why so much details into folding? What was the folding about?
- 01:30 : can I say, not that I bought the book, that the title on the spine seems kinda hard to read from the video? I wonder in person what it's like
- at the end of the video, I would recommend to put the url bigger (but maybe add another spaced line to make it more readable?)

Second video :
1min46 : what is he applying? Some kind of cleaning product?

Obviously it wouldn't be shared, but everytime I am scared that someone screws up in the videos :s



But overall it looks like a great attention to details, congrats!
I can't find the link on FB anymore, but from I remember Francois V seemed quite pleased with his copy :)

No problem. Pleased you like it. Here's some answers to your questions:

First 00:59 - It's one of several techniques used to apply the endsheets. The flyleaf could be laminated to a facing page (usually with marbled paper because the back of the paper isn't pretty), or not laminated at all. But in this case, she used a completely different technique where, instead of laminating the entire back of the flyleaf, it is attached to the facing page at the fore edge only. What you're seeing is the cutting, folding and glueing required to achieve that.

First 01:40 - It's blind stamped, so not as easy to read as if we used a color foil. But that was just a design choice we made.

Second 01:46 - It's likely the wood stain or varnish.

[OldCrow88]

Personally, I think the blind stamp on the spine looks organic and gorgeous. The whole production is amazing and I'm grateful to Paul for giving us the videos. If I could, I'd go nominate them for a "best documentary short" Oscar!

[MikeDuke]

Yea, Hex is another great AE. I only got the numbered though. But I am still happy that I got the AE and numbered for this one.
And yes, congrats on the sale of this book. Pretty exciting stuff.

[CyberGhostface]

I'm genuinely surprised that a signed Thomas Harris book went to public preorder. Thomas Harris isn't exactly Joe Hill when it comes to signing things (lol).

Does anyone think Hannibal Rising will get a Suntup edition? It's kind of the outsider of the franchise but...

I was thinking about that. I’m probably getting off the numbered train. If HR gets the Suntup treatment I’ll have to get one after market.

I might have missed your point, but I wonder if this is more an indication of people dropping off "the number train" prior to this release rather than a lack of interest by existing number holders?

[MikeDuke]

Well. I feel very lucky that I have been able to stay on the number train since HoHH. It's been tough sometimes, and I understand that not everybody can
buy a book every month. But I plan on doing it as long as I can.

I think it's churn and turn. People who don't continue their purchasing are replaced by new buyers.

I get that, I was only able to stay on as long as I did because I sold a number of books on the Facebook group. Having a matching Hannibal was the main reason why I stayed the course, I’ll be jumping off the train next month.

I also know a few people on the other sites passed on it because they didn’t like the novel itself. I liked it the most out of the series myself but I get why it’s controversial.

Totally agree, I picked up a Numbered today when it was opened to the public. I just wasn't sure if the OP was suggesting it actually made it the public because of a lack of interest. Sounds like, as expected, it was a bit of both :)

[CyberGhostface]

I don’t think there’s a lack of interest as the remaining copies were grabbed up almost immediately. I just predicted that this is something would have gone to lottery given how how rare Thomas Harris’s signature is.

[MikeDuke]

Cyber.
I hope you take my post as being like a snob that I was able to stay on. It was not my intent. If you took it that way, sorry.
I just like what Paul is doing, so I am staying on. I am pretty sure that there is going to be a Kurt V book. Hopefully
more than one, so I would stay on until that. And that 1,300 page book has me interested. Plus, I just want to stay
on as long as I can. But I understand people getting off if they are satisficed.

And like it's been said above. One person getting off allows someone new to get on..

[Noxus35]

Congrats on the sell out Paul! [emoji322][emoji323]

I missed out, but i'll get it eventually.
And i want to thank you for letting the AE of HEX pop up on the website, which i immediately grabbed. [emoji41]

Some day, i'll get the lettered edition. [emoji4]

Thank you. And good timing on the HEX!

Thank you, i just happened to be on the site when it showed up. 😊

Probably a fruitless endeavor but if anyone cares to sell their numbered Hannibal copy without the rights and as close to the published price as possible, PM me. My own failure caused me to miss out and this is one of my favorite books. OK, had to give it one shot. Thanks for reading.

You never know Tommy. One may pop up. The only issue is that it may be more than issue price. Maybe you can do payments? I might try to reach out to Kris? Maybe after the next book is announced? They may even pop up on ebay. Who knows. I do wish you luck though.

Having re-read it recently, Hannibal is a fucking incredible book. So happy I was able to get this. Now I need to snag SOTL to have a full set..

Hannibal Rising... I can't see this as a Suntup lol. I would love to read an interview with Harris about how he feels about that book now
I really tried to give it a fair shake but it just doesn't stand up to the trilogy at all

When he was promoting Cari Mora someone asked him about the reports that Dino de Laurentiis effectively forced him to write Hannibal Rising and he didn’t dispute it but said it was more of a “cordial persuasion”. Maybe he just didn’t want to speak ill of the dead at that point. (Dino did come off as very shameless at times in my opinion, he likened Hannibal to James Bond in terms of franchise potential at one point.)

One of my main issues was it never really gave us the point where Hannibal goes from killing out of vengeance to just killing people because he wants to. There’s a point in Sweeney Todd where he goes from wanting to kill the person who wronged him to killing indiscriminately and in my opinion Hannibal needed some kind of realization like that.

https://youtu.be/_jcLbfUZT9A

I don’t take issue with giving him a backstory but the whole book felt unnecessary in the end.

In case anyone is interested, Jason Mowry is selling some of the original artwork from both Hannibal and Red Dragon. Some has sold already. He can be reached via his email on his website or his Instagram. The artwork isn’t posted everywhere, so reach out to see what’s available.

ISO Suntup’s Hannibal series books designated #172

This week I was successful in buying a copy of Hannibal so if you were open to a trade, please contact me, and I am sure we can come up with a decent deal that will be beneficial to the both of us.

The Deal:

I would like to trade my Hannibal numbered for your Hannibal numbered, to be sent immediately on receipt in the original packaging with extras

I would also add my numbered Wolfen. This is number 172, so you will be adding to your collection. It is in perfect condition, and on confirmation of agreement, will be sent in the next few days.

I think this is a more than fair deal and an opportunity to extend your 172 collection. I would love to have all three matching in my collection.

Pm me if interested and we can work something out.

Thanks for reading,

Dave

[MikeDuke]

"have you moved" for Blackwater numbered. Love it.

[ur2ndbiggestfan]

I just within the last 5 minutes (in searching the internet for Hard Case Crime ARCs) came across an interview on the Suntup site with Charles Ardai.
How this has eluded me so long I'll never know, but it's a great font of information I need to read over a 2nd or 3rd time.
Thanks for this Paul!

BTW -- I just finished reading the ARC of FAKE I.D. by Jason Starr, which I could hardly put down.

Charles Ardai himself told me that.

Not sure why he's denying it. He was mad at me when I sold one. Maybe this is not Hard Case Crime Related?

[Randall Flagg]

That's a PS arc, not sure if it also is a HCC arc.
Are they one and the same publishers?

[ur2ndbiggestfan]

I get this when trying to view those links:

You do not have permission to view the images in this category.

BTW: Since this is a Suntup thread -- Suntup is great! Suntup rocks. Go Suntup! All hail Suntup!

[shibus]

Yeah, I don't think so. Charles Started Hard Case Crime. PS is a whole other animal. Was really just showing a Colorado Kid ARC.

[ur2ndbiggestfan]

This one?

Anyone get in on the 'dinged' sale?

Wowza they went quick!! I grabbed a numbered WOLFEN and artists Dr. Moreau - it was a feeding frenzy and lost out of a few but still happy for the opportunity.
Bill

[Patrick]

I really had to restrain myself. There was a lot of cool stuff, including some lettered editions. I resisted knowing it would all be gone if I just held out for a few minutes. All I bought was another Numbered edition of Moreau because it is so pretty and the price was so low. It was hard not to order more.

[Randall Flagg]

Like Patrick, I saved potentially thousands by showing up late.

[Patrick]

Gotta save some dry powder for the next battle.

[jeffingoff]

I missed out entirely. I didn’t even see what was up for offer. Probably a very good thing.

[Patrick]

A lot. You don’t want to know.

[RC65]

I was there right at the start of the sale, but the only title I was after — the AE of A SCANNER DARKLY — wasn’t offered, so I went away disappointed but with an unscathed credit card.

[MikeDuke]

Got the initial shipping email for BW. Can't wait. Although, I am running out of space. I guess I will have to get creative.

[jeffingoff]

Just got Blackwater today. I know I say this with just about every new release, but this one is one of the best Suntup numbered editions. An 888 page book that feels comfortable and luxurious. I’ll have no issue reading my numbered edition. And I can’t wait to read it. Yet another example of why I place Suntup above all other publishers I collect.

Received mine today - looks nicer in person than it did in the mockups. Some cool touches in it - the binding details fit nicely with the book and I really like the endpapers.

[Patrick]

This production is beautiful. The spine, the boards, the endpapers that feel like they look, the artwork. Congratulations to the Suntup team on another amazing edition.

[ur2ndbiggestfan]

Oh boy!
My BLACKWATER was delivered, but who knows where!
I talked to the mailman who has no recollection of delivering a package anywhere.
I called the post office, and they said they'll figure it out.
Let's hope so!
As some writer or somebody said, it's probably much ado about nothing.

[MikeDuke]

Mine is delayed. I hope to get by Wed now.

It wasn’t until the second box. The first box I was too enraptured at the first hint of the blue foam to pay any attention to the outside. My mind is still blown that your ordered special tape, like the foam wasn’t already enough.

[sullichin]

I just secured a #d LTROI for a really good price from the Facebook group, can't wait for it to come! My second book case will also be ready soon.
I am desperately in need of more room, with more coming I can't wait to be able to spread some of these books out and actually display some of them

P.s at least 4 or 5 of the books in the picture (mostly non Suntup) were bought from people here :D Excited to give these books some room to breathe

[Lilja]

Congratulations! It’s a beautiful book!

[MikeDuke]

I must have only posted pics of Jaws AE in my thread, but is a spectacular ed. The case, the DJ, the extras all make this a very good addition to a collection.
And I got an email that my BB AE will soon be on it's way. Can't wait for that one either.
Paul, you are really hitting on all cylinders.

*SOLD* If tomorrow's book is the Omen, I will be offering my copy for sale at cost without rights.

I will even cover shipping to you if you live in the USA. Book will ship unopened when delivered from Publisher with all bookmarks and ephemera.

I prefer Paypal Personal for exact cost of price of purchase/shipment direct from Suntup. (or add 4%) I have references from previous direct from Suntup pre-order sales.

Someone sent me a reputation comment with a message attached and i'm not really sure how the reputation communication system works or even how to find it on these boards.

Their message stated "Do you keep any of your Suntup books, haha"

Now I'm unsure if this was done in snark or what. I'm thinking it might not have been, as they used the poor mans' emoticon of haha on the end but i'm not sure, rofl, because they chose to comment from a position of anonymity instead of sending me a pm. BUT i'm unsure of how to reply to this comment (or if you can at all) and I cant even find the reputation section and/or read the comment again.

In any case I've decide to just answer that query out loud in the forum, for whatever it's worth! :D

I have kept a majority of my Suntup books. I got literally the last seat on the train when I bought the very last Eyes of the Dragon Portfolio upon the announcement of Misery. I own (and still own) all of the books with the exception of Brother through the Wells trilogy. I fell off the train and lost my number because I thought I would be able to buy a numbered copy of Brother after the original weekend solicitation (since I knew that, most probably, the newly increased to 500 limitation would not sell out on solicitation day) and that was not the case. Stayed off for few books and got back on at Red Dragon.

Suntup numbered are expensive and I am a blue collar worker. It is hard, at times, for me to even afford these readable works of art at all, much less at the pace of 1 per month.

I am a person who likes matched numbers. even though i will never have a completely matched numbered set. I like to try and keep my rights so that if a book comes out that I like it can be matched with the current number I am holding.

I normally choose to sell a book if I don't like the book, or perhaps if I am too poor at the moment to facilitate purchasing it, and normally try to do it during preorder with the contingency that I keep the rights.

To date I have pre-sold:

Imagica: (even though I like Barker the price point was expensive and I preferred the design of the AE which I also bought)
Blackwater: (I own a copy of the Centipede production and didnt feel the need for two expensive books of this title)
Hex: (was just a little broke to afford this one at the time of solicitation, and pre-sold it while buying an AE, even though i enjoyed the look of the #ed)

I currently own all of the other books and a good number of the AEs as well (although I have stopped buying all AEs direct from publisher as carrying the monthly payment of the more expensive numbered is retaining my focus and the AEs are fairly easily obtained on the aftermarket)

I am currently carrying 4 monthly partial.ly payment plan payments and figure as the Omen is a novelization, it is one I can skip.

I appreciate the folks who have bought pre-orders from me as it has helped me to retain my number. I have found buyers both on these very boards as well as Facebook groups.

I hope this answers the question, and I sincerely hope it wasn't asked in snark.

Collecting Suntup can certainly be a rich man's game, but Paul has done a lot of things to get his books into the hands of people across different demographics, including offering payment plans, designing lower cost books (AEs), or upping AE limitations.

Now, does anybody want to buy my pre-order OMEN :belial:

I appreciate the folks who have bought pre-orders from me as it has helped me to retain my number. I have found buyers both on these very boards as well as Facebook groups.

I hope this answers the question, and I sincerely hope it wasn't asked in snark.

Collecting Suntup can certainly be a rich man's game, but Paul has done a lot of things to get his books into the hands of people across different demographics, including offering payment plans, designing lower cost books, or upping AE limitations.

Now, does anybody want to buy my pre-order OMEN :belial:

LOL that was me brother and yes I was teasin you!!!!!!!!!

hahaha, cool, i just am amiss at how the reputation comment stuff works LOL

I was trying to reply directly to the rep comment and couldnt find out how to do it :emot-roflolmao:

In a perfect would I would keep all my books but at times I have to pick and choose.

It definitely aint getting any easier with new publishers entering the market, as well.

It is the Golden Age of the S/N LE small press book.

[Br!an]

Hey Lookwhoitis, that explanation is golden.

[Lookwhoitis]

*SOLD* If tomorrow's book is the Omen, I will be offering my copy for sale at cost without rights.

I will even cover shipping to you if you live in the USA. Book will ship unopened when delivered from Publisher with all bookmarks and ephemera.

This is the very first AE I was not home to order. Couldn't be helped, just one crisis after another.
I am exploring possibilities.

I believe Subterranean Press had some available. If not, try Camelot Books, and if all else fails, Dark Regions Press.

Just checked - still available at Sub Press - https://subterraneanpress.com/all-books/preorders/omen

Good, glad you got one! This is a nice-looking AE.

Jeff Terry's interview with David Seltzer is great, too, well worth watching: https://youtu.be/EMV81Elx-fM

Thanks for the reminder of the lottery! I would *love* to have the chance of purchasing the lettered edition of this novel.

[MikeDuke]

I would also. But even though this is an affordable one, I think lettered Suntup books may always be out of my reach.
But good luck Peter.

[St. Troy]

The Omen is an example (Wolfen being another) of a practice of Suntup's I really like: calling attention (by publishing a special edition) to a work that retains significance despite falling far enough from mainstream consciousness to the point that an ordinary printed edition is no longer readily available.

I also savor the reaction to these choices of the Library Thing Book Brahmins, who continue to weep openly over Suntup's publications and practices (they complain - a lot - about the scarcity of books they profess to dislike).

[St. Troy]

...my copy of The Omen is a tattered paperback with the cover torn off (I bought it that way, unaware that (I believe, but I'm not certain) it is illegal to sell such books).

A stripped book is a mass market paperback that has been stripped of its cover in order to be recycled. The covers are returned to the publisher as evidence that the books have been destroyed and to obtain a credit on the purchase price. The books are meant to be destroyed by pulping but some find their way to street merchants, presumably by illegal means, and are resold. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stripped_book)

Sounds like what I heard. I think I bought it (and a few others like it) at a flea market, which probably makes sense. Maybe 40 years ago or so.

Posted on fb earlier, and thought I’d post here too.

Huge delivery day today, my first ever Suntup lettered, and what a beauty.

No prizes when I say, to me, that this is the top none King book to be published. Some love it, some think it’s meh! I love it.

Many years ago a close colleague recommended it to me not long after it had been released, and I had to order it from the US as it hadn’t had an international release as yet. She told me it was mind blowing, thought provoking, and would stay with you long after you’d finished it.

I’m going to be as honest as I can, my young typical boy thoughts tended first towards how much action and fornication I could get through if it happened to me, then to the other end of the spectrum, of the implications of reliving those lives over and over again, to the point of how it could change your soul and existence and the knowledge that you could garner and use, to the ultimate question of why don’t I do all those things now, in the real world..

Jeff Winston is far from faultless, but who is? He isn’t a hero, or a villain, just an everyday guy, who relives his life over and over. The rush to the last chapters, after so many revisits, just blow me away, like a whirlwind, just don’t want it to end, so I read it ever year or so, love it, just as much as my first time.

I’m sure it wasn’t my first time travel story, (the time machine I think) but the first that really gripped me as deeply as this. Morlocks scared the life out of me, this just made me think beyond the book.

Paul’s first surveys were returned, with Replay up there at the top, always. My posts always had a footnote, and many emails sent to the suntup team begging for it to be printed. Now I’m not saying it was my sole efforts that got this published, it wasn’t, but I’d love to think I was a big part of the tug of war that dragged this book over the line, and one day, a replay arc turned up on my doorstep, with compliments. I love that about Suntup more than anything, they pay attention.

One thing I do know (other than that the book isn’t real, I know that) is if it happened to me, I most likely would be buying an eyes of the dragon portfolio (numbered and lettered) on each pass! And nagging for this book to be made again too!

Thank you and sorry, I needed to get that off my chest.

[Noxus35]

Awesome live today, i absolutely loved the question section. Thanks again! 😊

Yes, Paul said he's going to take orders first, then order as many as were requested. No rush to purchase next time.

Yup, it looks like it will have a set-up pré-order window which might close after a certain period of time.

By the way Paul; Slaughterhouse 5 looks awesome! 👌🏻

[MikeDuke]

I agree. SH5 looks like an amazing book. I only have 1 and half shelves left for my Suntup books. But, it should be a while. At least until those two monsters show up. But I still have a lot coming my way, so hope I can make it a little further with my one book case. But those two monsters have me concerned, in a good way :). Including today, I still have 16 books I have to figure out where to put. Man, nobody warned me :arg:.

[JeremyM]

Really excited about 'Slaughterhouse Five' - if any numbered are available Saturday I'll buy one. The numbered edition tics all the boxes for me - great art, very classy & restrained binding design, and printed letterpress on a nice paper. Printing looks to have a pretty serious bite to it, based on the photos. Just going off the mockups, this might follow just behind 'Blood Meridian' and the lettered edition of 'The Lottery' for my favorite Suntup book overall.

Depending on todays hints... THEY MIGHT GO FAST.

[herbertwest]

Today's hints?

[MikeDuke]

Depending on todays hints... THEY MIGHT GO FAST.
I hardly ever figure out the hints for the books in the quarter. But, it really doesn't matter because I am going to buy them anyway. Come on 12:00 EST :).
BTW, there are 6 left now. They may not make it to 12:00 EST 9 PST, and if they do, it may be
a frenzy if people can guess the next books.

[MikeDuke]

Today's hints?
You know, we are talking about todays next quarter news letter, where Paul gives everyone clues on what July, Aug and Sept books are.

[ur2ndbiggestfan]

My guess is:

WAR AND PEACE by Leo Tolstoy
THE BLAH STORY by Nigel Tomm
The entire MISSION EARTH by L. Ron Hubbard in ONE volume

Of course, I could be wrong.

[Noxus35]

If the small rectangular thing(s) on Paul's desk in the last live were a hint of things to come this quarter (or the next) then my guess would be that maybe American Psycho is in the mix. Because those looked like business cards to me. 😊

But hey, i'm just random guessing and speculating here. 😅

[Noxus35]

The Stepford Wives is the last title, i think. 😉
