Suntup Editions

[wolfehr]

I concur with everyone else. This book looks phenomenal. Pre-order for the limited and lettered is in!

For the record, I also had to google escutcheon :P

[ur2ndbiggestfan]

I simply can not afford it. Too many books, too little money. So I will very reluctantly have to pass.

[Ben Staad]

Gorgeous looking book. Wish you the best. I'm sure the collectors will be thrilled with the end result.

[T-Dogz_AK47]

What awesome news! This edition is going to absolutely ROCK!!! :excited::clap::clap:

Just one quick question Paul... Will lifetime subscribers receive one of the limited planchettes with their book, or are they only for the first 25 pre orders?

As a lifetime subscriber, I don't have to pre order so I'm curious as to our eligibility to receive one?

Paul has announced:

https://suntup.press/the-haunting-of-hill-house/

Congratulations, Paul!!! It looks like an amazing edition.

And note to previous collectors:

Owners of our previous publication will have first refusal rights on our next publication. For those who own a Numbered or Lettered edition of Misery, IF we publish another Stephen King book in the future, you will not lose your matching rights if you choose to pass on this edition. Keep in mind though, that if you do pass, you will not have first refusal rights to the book that is published after The Haunting of Hill House.


Paul the publication looks amazing!!

Just for discussion sake, does anybody else prefer their signed limited books to be signed by the author? I know she is dead and its a great book and all, just curious about other opinions.

I also prefer my signatures to be legible. I specifically stayed away from one of my favorite books A simple plan, because the author doesnt even look like he was paying attention when signing. Same with Michael Connelly. Love his books hate his scribble signature. you cant even make out a single letter.

[Randall Flagg]

Of course I prefer my book to be signed by the author, (I know she is dead....and all...)
As far as legible signatures, the "prettier" the better, but I've never known you to send a Stephen King signed book back...

[Br!an]

Looks GREAT Paul! But I'm not gonna lie, I had to google "escutcheon" to find out what the heck would be on the book...

An escutcheon is the thing that goes around the drain pipe under the sink to make the hole in the cabinet disappear. :wtf:

It’s what the supplier calls them. Maybe it has several definitions. This one is good enough for me. Gotta admit, it’s a cool sounding word.

It's absolutely accurate, and it's cool.

The coat of arms aside, an escutcheon is an ornamental plate or flange whether for a keyhole or a drainpipe or whatever.

If it's plain, it's often called a flange or plate, and if it is more ornate it would likely be called an escutcheon. Same difference.

I wasn't trying to diminish the awesomeness of your book. It was just an attempt at humor.

[zelig]

I wasn't trying to diminish the awesomeness of your book. It was just an attempt at humor.

Oh no, I didn't think you were... it's cool.

Thanks for the kind words folks. I will certainly do my very best to make this a cherished, top-quality edition.

Regarding the signature question, it's an interesting debate. Maybe I have a different opinion as a collector than I do as a publisher. If the author is alive, then sure, we include a signature. But the fact that this book doesn't have an author signature, doesn't make it less desirable for me. It's more about the production value of the book than whether the author signs it. I see this edition as a way to honor Shirley Jackson and her work. For me that's what really matters.

[jhanic]

I view it more as a work of art than a collectable book.

I’m with you on this. Yeah of course I want the author’s signature but I’m buying the production first and foremost. Also, and this may be my newbie-ness talking, but doesn’t the price appropriately reflect the absence of an author signature in this case?

I would say it does. If she were alive and signing, the book would go for more.

[stroppygoblin]

As the owner of Letter 'M' of Misery, I have a first refusal on the Letter M of THOHH. My collecting interest is for King only.
If you are not a current letter owner of a Suntup book, feel free to PM me and we can discuss. Be quick though as my option expires at 9am Pacific on Weds 9th.

[TravelinJack]

I’m willing to do the same as well. PM me if interested in the Lettered Edition of The Haunting of Hill House.

[peripheral]

Looks to be an utterly lovely production cementing your quality name in this publishing world, congratulations Paul! And a perfect choice for a second book!

I also like the idea of those who only have considered exclusively collecting King, possibly expanding their horizons in book collecting. As for the author's signature or not, I think this is a subjective choice around one's collecting goals (akin to whether people collect "artist" editions or not?) I personally only aim for 1st editions and specials which are signed by the author (purely as a personal way to draw a line somewhere in the sand and not gut my bank account). But I have exceptions to this rule (driven by what a book means to me, and the production values of the edition).

Also, John's comment that it is artwork rather than a book - I absolutely agree 100%. These aren't books, they're works of art in the physical form of books. Books are $10, read in baths and on beaches - these are to be admired, revered and (when no one's watching) caressed and fondled (and maybe read, if you're so inclined)...

So, go the ESCUTCHEON!

Congratulations Paul.

[webstar1000]

Is it just me OR is Suntup quickly becoming the premier publisher for limiteds?

I ordered a numbered copy. As others have said, it is a piece of art just too good to pass on. I haven't read Hill House in many years. My recollection is that it is one of those books people love to say that they loved but might be overrated. The horror element makes it an obvious publishing choice for King-oriented fans. Paul knows what he is doing but I would also like to see some more edgy choices like Faber's "Under the Skin." I'm also among the group that likes the author to sign but will buy a non-signed if the production values measure up.

[firemonkey66]

Am I the only one who is struck kind of funny by the discussion about the absence of the authors signature? This isn't a book by a living author who has chosen not to sign a publication, it is a book by a woman who has been dead for 50+ years! Hahaha, I'm sure Paul or any other publisher would love to roll the moldering old bones of a dead author out of their grave for an impromptu signing, but it's not currently an option:)

Personally, if the author is alive, I like a new publication to be signed by that author, but if the author is dead, it's a moot point for me.

It’s just a hypothetical discussion. It started when we were guessing what the book would be and there were a few people saying it wouldn’t be a book by a dead author because there’d be no signature.

I was referencing the discussion starting here:



Just for discussion sake, does anybody else prefer their signed limited books to be signed by the author? I know she is dead and its a great book and all, just curious about other opinions.

I didn't say it was a bad discussion, just that it struck me as funny. Part of the reason it struck me funny is because it also made me think of possible substitutions for an authors signature in that specific situation. What if instead of a signature, some personal possession of the deceased was included with each edition, like if each lettered edition contained an epoxy resin bound coin from the pocketful of change the author died with? Would it add value to the book or would it be too morbid? What if it was a hair of the author, like something that contained their DNA?

How cool would it be if the next Suntup publication was Jurassic Park and each lettered edition had an amber bound mosquito filled with Michael Crichton's blood embedded in the front cover of the book? Hmmmm, that might make production costs too high....and maybe be too morbid........maybe.

firemonkey66 's comment made me think some would like such things, but such things might not be quite legal to sell, so now I'm imagining a black market of small-run editions that could never be listed through conventional sites or dealers, and then I thought such a thing might already exist; after all, how would I know? (I wouldn't).

Didn't someone produce a book with actual human bones in the cover?

[Father Cody]

That amber bound mosquito sounds pretty awesome haha. I know you didn’t say it’s a bad discussion, I just wasn’t sure if you saw how it started. Even on Facebook yesterday there were some groups talking about it because one person guessed it would be Fall of the House of Usher but others debated that, saying a limited edition should have an author signature. Anyway, don’t mean to beat a dead horse. I get what you’re saying.

I think it was a lettered edition of a book called The Woman or something? Flagg owns a copy, I'm pretty sure. I think it has like a human rib bone bound to the cover.

If illegal books do exist, I'd imagine a fair number of them are grimoires (seems like the appropriate type of people/product).

That rings a bell.

[firemonkey66]

I found the book with the human bones in Flagg's collection thread. It's friggen awesome, and I've never seen another one. With a real human bone being part of the production, maybe the Jurassic Park idea isn't too far off.....:)


Just received this today. The publisher describes it as " It is bound in pig skin to look like human flesh, has real human bones embedded into the front boards is housed in a red velvet traycase wrapped in a metal cage with lock and key, hand painted endpapers and a hand bound ARC for reading, hand painted foredges, silk ribbon marker etc.". Here are a few pictures:

Description

The Woman is the powerful story of the last survivor of a feral tribe of cannibals who have terrorized the east coast from Maine into Canada for years now. Badly wounded in a battle with police, she takes refuge in a cave overlooking the sea. Christopher Cleek is a slick, amoral -- and unstable -- country lawyer who, out hunting one day, sees her bathing in a stream. Fascinated, he follows her to her cave. Cleek has many dark secrets and to these he'll add another. He will capture her, lock in his fruit cellar, and tame her, civilize her. To this end he'll enlist his long-suffering wife Belle, his teenage son and daughter Brian and Peg, and even his little girl Darlin', to aid him. So the question becomes, who is more savage? The hunter or the game?

[Father Cody]

That's THE WOMAN by Jack Ketchum and Lucky McKee. You should read it. My kind of gal.

[WeDealInLead]

Only half right. Curses!

[Hunchback Jack]

Another option for signed editions from authors no longer with us would be to take existing signatures from other sources - letters, credit card slips, etc - and paste them into the book as a book plate. I seem to recall that being done by somebody.

Personally, I will collect unsigned limited editions if the book itself is particularly impressive. The current Suntup edition being a case in point.

Personally, if the author is alive, I like a new publication to be signed by that author, but if the author is dead, it's a moot point for me.

The "signature" discussion (at least, in the way that I mean my point) is referring to a subjective collecting "rule" which guides my collection: "What kind of books do I want in my collection". It's a parameter (i.e., OCD) driving my subjective collecting goals. I don't collect artist / special editions (of living OR dead authors) unless it meets those exceptions I mentioned earlier - production quality AND a very important book to me. It's a way to also help with space requirements and (importantly) not gut my bank account. If I did, it would open a rabbit hole for me and I'd be at the mercy of every quality publisher who released a lovely version of HP Lovecraft. I love too many authors, still have to purchase too many 1st editions, and have too many King signatures to get, that buying artists / special editions are unfortunately not part of the deal (even for dead authors).

So, I've been on the lookout for a nice Hill House first edition for a long time that's within my budget. This is my priority with this title. But, having said all that, I love the significance of Hill House, always enjoyed the book, and the Suntup production reminds me of the incredible quality of Infernal Press, so yeah, it fits my OCD :)

[Randall Flagg]

What the hell? Has to be an animal bone, no?
Yes. Humans are animals too.

It's an actual human being rib bone. There was a lengthy discussion as to the legality, but to get right to the point-Have you ever seen a skeleton in a science class or lab?
If so, you are seeing parts of a human body that was legally donated (for science or retail).

Can't sell human parts on ebay so don't go looking for one there. A few years back, I remember hearing somehow that CD had one for sale but couldn't put it on ebay because of the bone. I don't know if they ever sold it or not.

Well I was offering to reserve it before the general public got a chance to order (which also gives people the rights for future numbered editions other than King's) but if my post was insulting then I will remove it and apologize to Paul for it.

I'd also like to thank you for also giving first refusal of Hill House to Misery owners, if they wanted it. It was the best of both worlds for us, and I appreciated that.

HBJ

I was in another forum and noted that Hill House would have sold out faster if the Misery owners would have lost their rights to future King editions by passing on this non-King book. So Paul chose to take care of the collectors instead of having a faster sell-out and I think that's a stand-up thing to do.

[zelig]

I'm thrilled that I was able to get the numbered this time around. Looks absolutely stunning. Any word on the order numbers that indicate who will receive the planchettes? Or when Ari can expect to get his gold key?

It may be a few weeks before I go through orders and post order #'s of the first 25. Ari can expect his key in December some time. :-|

Kudos to PAUL for doing that! First Class! I am strictly a King collector. (and Hill and OK and a a lot of Grisham, Connelly and Koontz, Ugh no wonder I don't have $$$

Is it just me OR is Suntup quickly becoming the premier publisher for limiteds?

Paul has certainly made a splash with his first two publications. Ultimately the market and Paul's product mix will determine if he can continue to profitably produce such high quality editions but he's off to a great start.

Both editions are well designed. Based upon the historical relevance and influence THOHH had on SK and 'Salem's Lot I am tempted by both but the reality is I don't even own a reading copy of the book so I can't justify the expense. Good luck to Jared and Paul as they are first class individuals and publishers.

Jerad has my everlasting respect. He has been an inspiration to me in several ways, and as we know, he has been at this a whole lot longer than I have. For me, he is a pioneer and visionary in this field. We both have different styles, and ways of doing things, but his books are pure class and he’s just a great guy.

I could not resist. I ordered one also. I am looking forward to the end of the year.

Centipede is one of the best and a great choice of inspiration to have, Paul. The way Suntup is moving, in years to come, you'll be the inspiration for another emerging publisher with big dreams.

[TravelinJack]

We need more emerging writers in the genre.

[jeffingoff]

We need more emerging writers in the genre.

I think that's true. It seems horror has gone much darker/gorier or it's YA.

As far as an emerging writer's appeal--I don't know that a newbie can command the prices that high-quality publishers like Suntup need to produce editions with fine materials and at such low print runs. Even buzzy authors with proven appeal can't sell out modestly priced limited editions. Consider Josh Malerman's Bird Box at Dark Regions Press. There are still over 300 copies available out of a 500 print run and that book was announced a long time ago. So I don't know if an emerging author can move expensive editions.

Yep, I'm a huge Jerad fan as well (both the guy and his books). His edition looks great, as to be expected. Having said that, I could only buy one- and, I bought Paul's. ;)

p.s. No worries, Jerad- you'll get all the rest of my money, eventually!

20 left last time I looked

[MikeDuke]

Down to 5 now. I know it's not a King book but at least it gets my foot in the door for other non-King books Paul may do. Plus, again, the fact that so many authors look to this book as a standard is good enough for me. I know
the author did not sign it (obviously), but I am not upset. It still looks like a great edition.

Honestly, I don't know how many King books there are left that could get the limited treatment. Misery was without a doubt the one that deserved it. But all the classics have gotten their upgrades. The Stand will be next year with CD. And after Pet Sematary, what's next? I loved Cell and Gerald's Game but should they be Suntup Editions? What about Dreamcatcher or Rose Madder? Recently, people were torn on PS's edition of The Tommyknockers--the chatter being that a lot of people felt it was King's worst book (even though it sold out in short order). I don't agree--I liked it and still think the Garden Shed chapter is among King's most terrifying.

My point is there are only so many King books that don't have limited editions and of those how many will fans want to see as a Suntup Edition? Maybe all of them. I don't know. So of course there will be other authors. There must be. And I think this is an excellent, iconic choice for Paul's next at-bat. I'm thrilled.

[becca69]

So there are only 4 copies remaining of the numbered edition of Hill House. If you have been thinking of picking one up, I wouldn't hold off much longer.

Pet Sematary

Many more.

[biomieg]

Yes!

[MikeDuke]

I understand your point. I hope Paul chooses to do another King book i.e Needful Things, but I am also looking forward to getting authors I am not too familiar with. Is there a S\L of Pet Cemetery? There is the one version that I think PS did but I don't know of any other. And some of the ones you mentioned like Gerald's Game might be cool. I don't know. Just putting it out there. But I am looking forward to the non-King books as well.

Well it won’t be signed by King. Their edition will probably be announced in 2019. But that’s just my guess. First they have to ship Night Shift and then open orders for The Stand to the public. Then after The Stand ships they’ll probably open orders for Pet Sematary.

[Brian861]

Completely concur that Needful Things and Different Seasons would be right up Paul's alley.

[WeDealInLead]

The Long Walk. Lettered comes stuffed in a pair of King's old shoes.

[Ivo]

I would love to see what Suntup could come up with, with a S/L of Pet Sematary.

[MikeDuke]

If the CD is not signed then I am not that interested anymore. Like I said, Pet Semartary and Needfullthings are two that I would really like to see. I probably won't be
able to get them, but I think they are both deserving.

[Father Cody]

I’m confused now. CD’s Stand S/L isn’t signed by King?

[MikeDuke]

As far as I know it is not signed by him. It's just like the Carrie and Salems' Lot and others they did. Big nice books with prints but no King signatures. Think of them as really high end Art editions that are still limited in their production. I mean, people still want them because all of the previous ones are sold out and they seem to be going up in value. But I can't get everything and I would really like to be particular on the un-signed books I get and if it's a King book, do my best to get a S\L.

[becca69]

I’m confused now. CD’s Stand S/L isn’t signed by King?

None of CDs Doubleday Years are signed by King.

[HONKYTONKSMASH]

Like most here, would love to see Different Seasons, PS, DZ, and Needful given the limited treatment. As far as im concerned, it doesnt matter so much if its already been done as Suntup is just on a different level :thumbsup:

Flagg, I've always admired that production. One of a kind. I would still like to see a Suntup Different Seasons as well, as the Suntup spin would undoubtedly be awesome. Personally, I would just as much like to see a luxury production of Nightmares & Dreamscapes, which contains some of my favorite King short stories. I know there was the facsimile signature UK production, but I don't really count that as a true S/L.

[MikeDuke]

That production looks fantastic. Breaking up Different seasons, would be cool like that.
Rita Haywoth and the Shawshank Redemption and The Body were two of his best adaptions to movies I can think of. Oh and by the way, House on Haunted Hill is sold out. I am excited to be in the family now.

OK. There was a movie called House on Haunted hill in 1999. That was a remake of the Price movie.

The remake was total fun and cheesy. Looking forward to getting it.

Thanks Paul :thumbsup:

[MikeDuke]

Paul and/or Becca, is the spine of the lettered edition of Hill House going to be all green like in the picture on the Suntup website, or will it have lettering on the spine with the title, author, publisher, etc.? Just curious:)

We don't intend on stamping the spine. So it will be the green leather pretty much like you see in the images.

Cujo, signed by Steve Stroud, is now available in the Covers Collection:

https://shop.suntup.press/collections/the-covers-collection-individual-prints/products/cujo-fine-art-print

There are a few remarqued copies available too.

[RichardX]

Really like the upcoming Cujo cover. I was fortunate enough to get King to sign my copy of Cujo a few years ago in Toronto. It probably wasn't his greatest book but it had that raw quality to it that symbolized why his works were so great in that time frame. Something lost in recent years.

I agree Paul's cover collection is great! I'm sorry to hear you haven't enjoyed Kings work over the recent years, what is it exactly that you feel has been lost? I'm just curious as I've enjoyed all his work and thought some of his recent novels like Joyland, Mr. Mercedes & Finders Keepers were among some of my favorites and The Outsider as well was AWESOME!

Don Brautigam illustrated some of the most memorable King covers. Don, who passed away in 2008 was an amazing artist, and I'm really pleased to confirm that we'll be adding these iconic covers to the print series. This has certainly been one of the more challenging to lock down, and having spent over a year, on and off working on it, I am delighted to finally include these prints in the series.

Don's two sons Jim and Dan have been so helpful in getting this finalized. I met with them today, and it was so exciting to see these four originals in person. The Covers Collection would not be complete without them.

Those are awesome as hell. Is the night shift painting offset into the corner of a canvas? And what’s the thing in the upper right corner, is it a piece of paper taped to the canvas?

Being the highly observant guy that I am, I only noticed that paper when I was looking at the photos. Was probably a note stuck to the matting. It looks like matting around the painting. Maybe it used to be in a frame. Can’t say for sure.

Does anybody have a remarqued Pet Sematary Covers Collection print that they could post some photos of? Also, I would basically love to see photos of anybody's Pet Sematary print, not necessarily remarqued, but especially if it is framed for display. Thanks!

Related story, I showed my wife the Covers Collection prints just to gauge her disinterest/dislike (because that was what I was expecting) and she suprised me by saying she liked the Pet Sematary print, which coincidentally is also one of my favorites! So good news: I can get and display the Pet Sematary print. The bad, but expected news: My wife hates all the other prints:) Don't hold it against her, she's not a Stephen King fan. And yes, I married her anyway:)

Really cool. It’s almost like an elaborate signature. I bet it looks great when staring at the big picture, the way an artist’s signature looks when you see it in the bottom corner of the piece. I’m not sure if I’m making any sense, so I’ll just say I really want a remarqued print now.

King went through a golden period in the late 70s and 80s. He wrote most of his classics in that time period. Afterward some good books and clunkers. Only one great book in my opinion - 11.22.63. That is sort of the typical arc for many artists. Impossible to maintain that original pace. The Mr. Mercedes novels are at best middling detective genre. But everyone has a subjective opinion on what they like best but there is no comparison to his early works.

That is really cool. I read about the press on Paul's blog. It was very interesting. Now I am even more sad, like many other people, that I am not getting one. But at least I am getting The Haunting of Hill house.

[Br!an]

That is very cool.

I love the way that Paul applies the best method of production available to provide us with exceptional and often unique books.

It seems that more often than not, that method is a traditional book printing/binding/publishing method. This press is but one example.

He's done various custom bindings, hand marbled endpapers, frontispieces, etc..

I'm looking forward to the fore-edge artwork. :evil:

I realize that the exception that proves the rule are his cutting edge prints. (https://suntup.press/covers-collection-fine-art-prints/) :smile:

This has been an unpaid endorsement.

I absolutely love UK editions. I always seem to end up liking those more than the US covers. I mean, compare something like The Dark Half. So much more going on in the UK edition!
I'm in the same boat as Mike but may have to spring for the IT's and have a little collage with all three covers. Pet Sematary too. Misery....ah hell! :lol:

I think this is the 'rights factor' kicking in. People know that Suntup has officially said that if you own a S/L Misery, you have rights to the next King book at publishing price. You don't have to buy any other publication that they produce, just Misery.

Of course, it's a big IF whether that next King book will happen or not, but people are willing to pay extra just for the chance.
