So does anyone know who are the first four individuals that acquired Roman Numeral Edition I - IV? Camelot does not have the info. Does anyone know their actual whereabouts?

So does anyone know who are the first four individuals that acquired Roman Numeral Edition I - IV? Camelot does not have the info. Does anyone know their actual whereabouts?
Camelot received one of the first 4, in the "wait is over" newsletter it stated

[The_Antiquarian]

I thought the statements by Bill and news from Camelot state that the first four numerals went to folks who will never dispose of their copies until their “death (something like that), which all happened prior to Camelot getting ahold of six books. Then roman numeral V - VIII were sold to collectors, with the remaining IX and X held by Camelot as their retirement fund/the vault. To sum it up, we know exactly who holds V - X, but we have no info on who holds the first four.

Am I correct?

Correction: An individual by the name of Matt F* holds copy IX so I guess Camelot holds two of the leftovers from six. V, VIII, and IX are taken by collectors (can’t tell which other one got purchased).

I can say with certainty IX is in my hands not Camelot not sure what numbers they kept. Direct from Camelot newsletter:

Here Are the Details

Our initial announcement called this a "previously unknown" state of this book. We forgot some people on the internet take things too literally. Common sense would tell you that if it exists, someone has to know about it, it had to be made and handled by someone, in fact we've know about it since it was produced as we were lucky enough to be one of the four copies originally distributed.

The leather on the book is BLACK Leather...

Were different colors made? They looked blue in this post:

http://www.thedarktower.org/palaver/showthread.php?15704-Subterranean-Press-discussion-thread&p=1150476&viewfull=1#post1150476

...which seemed to be confirmed in this one:



It looks blue in the photos, but it's actually black, isn't it?

Quite striking, bold, simple design.

No, It's very Blue. Alec and I agreed on "Cornflower Blue' :)

Just curious.

I almost never run "sales" because in my mind collectibles only go up in value.

With that, I'm done with what I consider to be the stale Subterranean Press and almost all my Subterranean Press listings are marked down 20%, can be had off ebay for even less. There's some interesting titles.

Just click here: Subterranean Listings (https://www.ebay.com/sch/m.html?_odkw=&_ssn=readwhiteandblue&item=303213887888&_osacat=0&_from=R40&_trksid=m570.l1313&_nkw=subterranean&_sacat=0)

Includes Ready Player One Lettered (it's Bill's copy), NOS4A2 Lettered, Red Rising Series Limited & Lettered with rights, Thumbprint lettered, Complete Borne Lettered, Interworld Trilogy Lettered, Iron Druid Limited & Lettered with rights and some other interesting titles.

I'm going to clear them off my shelves to invest in others likes Suntup that put thought into making each edition unique.

Thanks for the offer sir, but Ill sit this one out Im afraid. Saving up for now. I havent read the books yet but fell in love with Tommy Arnold covers. Didnt see the trilogy in your listing from that link so thats why I wondered if someone already snapped them up. Or is that 4295 listing also yours? Different seller name though.

The listing pretends to be for all 3. However no pictures of the 3rd indeed now that you mention it

[knightmare]

Who knows, I’ve only interacted with them once where they acted like it was a complete inconvenience to look up the number on a limited edition.

At least with this, if it’s legit, it would have to be part of 26. Knowing the letter is another matter.

[Hunchback Jack]

That other listing has been up and renewed since before the third book was released. Hence no pics as they haven't updated it.

Does anyone know what Jeff was charging for RPO slipcase for the Subpress edition? Thanks.

[Hunchback Jack]

I paid 12.95 GBP for mine a few years back. Might be a bit more now, but that should be the ballpark.

[Lurker]

Thanks!

[Hunchback Jack]

Thanks!

You're welcome. There are black and purple variants of the case, and they both look great. I was concerned the purple case would look a little cheesy, but it actually suits the colour scheme of the dustjacket really well.

Full throttle up for order today. I just can’t find a good reason why the lettered edition has to be almost ten times as expensive as the limited. No extra art. Remarque by Dave McKean worth such a premium? I think i’m skipping this.

[Munnecom]

I got a copy of the numbered edition. Does anyone know if McKean is signing too?

[Kingfan24]

Lettered sold out. Unbelievable. I don’t even think I’m getting the limited.

[WeDealInLead]

If money's an issue (and at $175 for a book without a slipcase it just might be), there's also the option of getting it on layaway from Camelot.

[Kingfan24]

Money definitely is not the issue - the issue is it’s going to be a standard sub press book. It’s 8x8, no slipcase. Seems like a money grab to me.

Limited does come with slipcase. For this edition I think the limited has the best value. I can’t see where the 1500$ go towards without extra art or different paper / printing. Must be some extraordinary binding material. When the pictures arrive of the lettered I might regret my decision as it was up for sale for several minutes. That doesnt come close the 29 second sell out for Use of Weapons

[WeDealInLead]

I see. I read only the email SP sent out last week. Maybe I didn't see the part about the slipcase. $175 seems a little more reasonable now.

[Hunchback Jack]

The Lettered at $1500 will probably be like the lettered for NOS4A2 - leather-bound or silk-bound slipcase, leather-bound embossed book, hand sewn binding, plus the additional Remarque. The lettered of Silence of the Lambs was $1500, and it still stands as one of the finest productions SubPress has done. I imagine Full Throttle will also be something pretty special.

I passed on the Full Throttle lettered - I don't currently have any Hill Lettereds, and don't plan to start collecting them - but I will pick up a numbered. It's a bit pricey at $175, but this indicates it will have some of the features of a "deluxe" numbered - heavier paper, two-color printing, slipcase, etc.

I agree. The standard lettereds are all pretty much the same, but once they hit the $500 price point, they start to get really nice. But they're still always described the same way!

"26 signed specially bound copies, housed in a custom traycase"

I'm assuming they do this to keep their creative options open...

There was at least one other title besides Silence of the Lambs (which I agree is perhaps their finest effort) that was $1500 - the lettered Smoke & Mirrors, which goes for more than double that now and has the coolest traycase.

[ur2ndbiggestfan]

Of the few Sub Press lettereds I have, I think I like the one for DANGEROUS WAYS by Jack Vance the best.

Thanks guys, that will push me to buy a future lettered over the 1000$ mark from Subpress if I’m really into the book. The lack of extra details in the description is indeed what made me doubt.

[Patrick]

I’m looking forward to seeing your Lettered Editions when this is released. Personally I ordered the Numbered edition. I’m good with the $175 price tag on that one.

[louis2003b]

Is it just me or has Subpress been on fire 🔥? Every book looks incredible and they are signing amazing authors. Very excited to read Gideon the Ninth!

[Hunchback Jack]

Yeah, they have some amazing books coming out between now and January, and have some incredible announcements coming that Bill has already teased online.

Can't wait for Fire & Blood, The Labyrinth of the Spirits, and Use of Weapons to all land on my doorstep. And Jemisin, Gibson and Willis to be pre-ordered later this year.

This is the very first Facebook group (or second, according to Pat Robinson) solely dedicated to sharing news, buying, selling, and trading of rare books by George RR Martin and everyone is welcome to join. We already have several of the most established and well-respected rare books super-collectors amonst our ranks including Rebecca Dornsife, Pat Robinson, Yegor Malinovskii, and Pekka Poutanen!

Emulating the much venerated Stephen King Rare Editions group by Kris Webster, our Group will focus solely on collecting rare books including 1) limited & lettered editions, 2) 1sts, 3) signed, 4) proofs/Arcs, and 5) original illustration artworks featured on GRRM's works.

An all new up-to-date compilation of wish list/sales list is also available in the group, so if you are looking for a book to complete your matching set or have rare books for sale, please join the group!

Greetings Maurice,

Thank you very much for the encouragement and I am more than thrilled to know that you are able to add Simonetti's print amongst your collection! Although it's only been a week, I have received a wealth of knowledge from fellow members as well and I am already on a lookout for books that I got to know, once again, thanks to the members.

The Malazan group would be a huge boon to all book collectors! I get the feeling that the prospective pool of members will nearly be identical to those in GRRM group :)

See you around Maruice!

The S/L of William Gibson's Burning Chrome went on sale this morning. It looks like they are planning something big for it - oversized, two colour printing and illustrations, etc. Hopefully we get some colour tipped in illustrations as well, although that's not mentioned in the description.

Only 350 numbered and 26 lettered. I will say that it is a bit pricey for a 200-odd-page book, but I hope that means SubPress are making it a top-tier release.

Mystery solved, and I humbly change my comment from "disappointing" to "Kudos!". Looks like I ordered it last August when it was first announced and then, not remembering that at all, ordered it again a few days ago. The refund was the second order, which SP correctly identified as a mistake (it helped that I added exactly the same number request to both orders) and cancelled.

So thank you SP!

[kingfan2323]

Whew! Good to hear. Make sure you do not order a third!

Sub Press once sent me a box of FREE books because one of their titles had been delayed for about a year. Can't beat that. And, one time, one time ONLY, they stuck a proof in a box in which I'd ordered one of their Bradbury titles for a friend, so of course I had to give the proof to my friend.
Anyway, that's what I call CUSTOMER SERVICE!

Good Day,
I have partnered with Yegor Malinovskii to display his amazing photography on my website. If you have a moment I highly recommend taking a look at the Gallery page if you want to see beautiful photographs of gorgeous books. Would love to hear any opinions or improvements I can make on my forum page. Thanks!

Full Throttle had been out of stock for a few weeks now, but 2 days ago all sudden there was a quantity of 25 available.

I check again today and it says there's 39 available. I don't know if it's vendors canceling pre-orders or what it is, but that's a lot to become available again over the course of 2 days.

[Garrell]

Just wish they would be finished and ship at some point.

They've had trouble with their slipcase makers shutting down because of COVID. All their un-cased titles have shipped on time, but slipcased titles are delayed. A lot of lettered editions are also delayed due to no traycases.

SubPress are usually great about keeping to their original schedules; this is very unusual for them.

As of like 2 weeks ago it was at the printer still and they had to redo the endpapers because they weren't up to spec so my guess is not for awhile yet (whether that is 3 months or next year I have absolutely no clue).

Here is an updated photo of the full signature page. Looks like everyone's copy is a little like mine. The copy above has more text to the right. Cannot even see the full J in Hill's name, nor Dave's. I still cannot fathom how this got past production at Sub Press. Very disappointed.

Not sure why they chose to have the signature lines all the way to the left of the page. Something like that could have been easily avoided.

Looks like when they got tipped in some came out unscathed while others got partially cut out.

[subpress]

Hey all,

Not around here much, but figured I should chime in about Full Throttle.

Shipping this one is taking far longer than anticipated. For precautionary reasons, we have only had one shipper in the warehouse this week, instead of two. We're currently interviewing to hire a third shipper, to get us up to our full complement.

World circumstances, as well as staying in contact with our attorneys to make certain we're in compliance with our governor's executive orders, and maintaining best practices for our employees, have really thrown a monkey wrench in the speed at which we're able to get books out the door. When you add the fact that postal services are not performing optimally, it adds up to a near perfect storm.

Thanks to everyone for their patience, as we adjust to constantly shipping conditions.

Best,

Bill

PS. If you have further questions or concerns, please shoot me an email at subpress@gmail.com.

Oh. Embarrassed to have missed that- one page back! Thanks. Eh', this doesn't appear too big a deal to me. Mine's a little like those and thought it was fine. More importantly- the book is astoundingly beautiful. My favorite book of the year so far (But, I'm currently looking at the Centipede box on my bar with the Falling Angel set in, and Suntup's RED DRAGON en route- so- Big Books still in the running!).

[mikeyw]

Ive managed to end up with 2 copies of the Limited Edition Joe Hill Full Throttle - I ordered one and my wife bought me one as a present not knowing i'd already bagged one...! So, especially if you are in the UK I would love for it to find a new home. The lovely guys at Sub will take it back for a credit but seems a shame to shell out alot to ship it back if there are UK or Euro fans who might like it - sealed and still boxed!!!

[Ricky]

Got my copy of Full Throttle today! I like the "wide" design of the book and the feel of the DJ. Very cool. My copy does not have the signature issue that some have said. The edges of my slipcase are frayed, though, with some of the threads loose and peeling away, so I e-mailed them to see about a possible replacement. Fingers crossed.

[Ricky]

In a matter of minutes, Sub Press responded to my e-mail, told me to keep the old slipcover, and confirmed that they'll send me out a replacement one. And it was shipped today. Extremely happy with such a positive and painless customer service experience!

[swintek]

Nice! Glad Bill's taking care of it so swiftly. And glad also that you like the square design- me, too. I gather some folks might be a little weirded out by it at first, but I welcome it. Especially on a book so artfully designed from the ground up. I still say it's in the running for the coolest book of the year, so far.

I've been wanting to get The Wolf's Hour for quite some time now, but was unwilling to pay $500+ for one. I hadn't seen any copies of it below $500. Most were in the range of $550-$750

Decided to check ebay again and there just so happened to be one for $375 so I didn't hesitate. He also had the limited edition of Mister Slaughter for $90 but I was a few seconds too slow on that one.

I'm glad I was able to finally get The Wolf's Hour at a pretty good price though.

[Hunchback Jack]

He had a bunch of the Matthew Corbett S/Ls for sale, most for list or under. They were great deals, whoever got them. Thanks for the heads up.

Teaser: an overdue photo-essay collab should be coming up soon...

You can probably guess which book :wink:

[lotuz]

Hello everybodeeeeeee!!

Today I’d like to talk a lot about Full Throttle, the lettered edition of which was put into the world recently by Subterranean Press.

This book got a lot of hype when it was released a couple of weeks ago (for a very good reason!) but I feel like to some extent the book itself got lost in all the talk about one particular page – missing the forest for a tree, as it were. And it really is a very nice production. So, to remedy this, let’s take a holistic look at this edition, with much-needed (and greatly appreciated) photography from ym2000. I think these pictures do it more than enough justice but it’s a recent favorite of mine, so here are some words about it:

As always, we’ll start on the outside and work our way in.

First – the traycase. Without question, the first thing you notice with this case is the interesting and VERY bold color scheme. Teal and orange are not necessarily two tastes that you might want to taste together… But, I have to say: it works. On two levels, actually! First: the colors are both specific callbacks to themes in the interior design and the stories themselves, so using them as the main design colors was both brave and honest to the rest of the material.Second: tying these colors together aesthetically is no small feat, and they get a handy assist in the form of some world-class hand-marbled endpapers.

https://i.imgur.com/GaQRHbI.jpg

The traycase is teal, with orange leather spine labels, and there was an excellent decision to use black cloth for the sides and fore-edge of the case. Teal or orange would have really pushed it and it might have been too much. The black tones it down a little – every piece matters!

https://i.imgur.com/Bg1kMy8.jpg

Inside the traycase is another great feature, made even better by the interesting dimensions of the book: the remarque! The McKean remarques are duotone, (mostly) black and (some) teal, matching the interior design of the book. There is a raised frame of sorts built into the case, keeping the remarque and book separated (though it never hurts to add a thin, acid-free barrier such as glassine, of your own). Given the boldness of the colors on the traycase and book, this was a better feature than the more common marbled interior front board, I think. It’s a neat way to have a remarque included that is actually displayable! And because of the dark colors it doesn’t compete with, or overdo, the book it faces.

https://i.imgur.com/Df1HD6K.jpg

https://i.imgur.com/0201jfK.jpg

Onto the book itself!

The first notable element is the shape (which is the same as the numbered). It’s an unusual trim size – any square, not just this particular size – not just for Sub Press, but for most of the small genre presses. And for most presses in general, it turns out! Square books just aren’t very common. Most books that don’t fit the standard proportion are books that simply rotate it 90 degrees and are deeper than they are tall. Maybe there is a collectible sub-genre that has a lot of them? It’s a common size in toddler books, the ones with the thick cardboard pages, at least, and probably somebody collects those. But for those who don’t recognize the name “Sandra Boynton” square books are probably a very small percentage of your collection… Anyway – different! Notable!

The second thing you notice is the color and design –the colors are the same orange and teal from the traycase, but with more orange here as the leather component of a quarter leather binding design. And – absolutely the right call, hands down – no dustjacket on this one.

https://i.imgur.com/qiRnvGr.jpg

https://i.imgur.com/okazSPN.jpg

Now, where do these colors come from? I mentioned at the beginning that I think they’re very intentional colors that come from different elements and needed a deft design to harmonize. The teal started somewhere with the first iteration of the book – the cover of the US first edition is done in duotone black and teal on a tan background. The numbered Sub Press edition leaned into a teal palette pretty heavily, as does the interior of the lettered edition. Some with bluer or greener hues, and some bang-on (like the marbled endpapers). And this is a harder color to catch an honest glimpse of in photographs! In all of the previous photographs of this, the teal has looked too light to me, the orange a bit, too – much more washed out than in person. So THANK YOU ym2000 for bringing these true colors to light here!

https://i.imgur.com/6v4LEY7.jpg

The orange took me a minute. I didn’t recognize it at first. I thought it was a bold combination, that it was tied together well (by a specific element we’ll talk about in a minute), but I didn’t quite understand. Then it hit me - the orange is from the Harley-Davidson logo! I’m sure the actual RGB color combination is like trademarked proprietary Harley-Davidson property or something but this is close enough to be a clear homage, and to tie in just perfectly with the strong bike motif. This was a risky, but very clever choice! Admirable!

There’s another element here that deserves some attention, a small black stamp on the front board. This stamp, combined with the luxurious leather (more on this later) really harkened back to another Sub Press classic to me: the lettered Silence of the Lambs. Same super-soft leather (different palette and half-bound), but a nice, relatively simple, single-color stamp. It’s is a small building block that brings the books together and adds an extra touch to the boards without in any way detracting from the other pieces.

https://i.imgur.com/cKgvXJp.jpg

When you do pick up the book, you can start to appreciate the materials. Earlier I noted the quarter leather binding. What I didn’t include, because we were more focused on color choice and shape in that paragraph, was that this is a wonderfully soft leather – excellent quality. A leap above and beyond the leather in the standard lettered releases and fully justifying an extra digit on the price tag. Calf leather, maybe? I don’t think it’s goatskin, because of the texture (though I could be, and often am, wrong!). But – wow – is it soft... And it’s a relatively thick book, quarter-bound, so the heft combined with the texture makes it very nice to hold, especially if you have big enough hands that you can comfortably support the spine.

I’m going to do something I normally don’t do – post the same picture again – but before I was talking about the colors, and this time try to focus your attention on the leather. Check out the grain!

https://i.imgur.com/qiRnvGr.jpg

Now – let’s open it up and check out the interior!

The most important part of the interior, in terms of the aesthetics of this book, are the magnificent hand-marbled endpapers. These are superior works of art on their own – and they should be, given that they were produced by the premier English marbler Jemma Lewis and imported.

https://i.imgur.com/PUQc4vQ.jpg

https://i.imgur.com/Mz67g7N.jpg

This particular type of marbling (Turkish, or something very similar, like Dahlia) serves this book perfectly. Some types of marbling involve the use of combs or swirling to mix the colors, and most of these types end up with a color distribution that is relatively evenly spread. Take out any square centimeter and you are likely to see all the colors involved. The bouquet pattern on the lettered Red Dragon from Suntup Editions is a good example of this. But the Turkish pattern allows for large globular chunks of the primary color, in this case teal, to stay intact, while the secondary colors swirl around it.

https://i.imgur.com/Pb9K78P.jpg

The teal in these endpapers connects the exterior to the interior and makes this a much more cohesive concept. The red, yellow, black, and white, which make up the secondary swirls, give us a wider palette of oranges, some lighter than the Harley-Davidson orange, some darker, and the black gives us another connection to the interior of the book and the art, which do not feature the orange. I’ve seen lots of great uses of marbled paper recently, but this one is notable for how well it ties the interior and exterior elements together – it’s a necessity, in my opinion, for making this book stand out the way it does.

https://i.imgur.com/A9Z45kL.jpg

https://i.imgur.com/HDiupNM.jpg

As we move further into the interior we see a nice pictorial limitation page – always a treat:

https://i.imgur.com/D2dCZsR.jpg

And some great interior art!

https://i.imgur.com/lpwsd0A.jpg

https://i.imgur.com/opHBw5p.jpg

https://i.imgur.com/8BtWYA1.jpg

Then, there are very neat story headers – abstract additions of color that sometimes reach down into the text:

https://i.imgur.com/uiJesTA.jpg

https://i.imgur.com/lA8s8Mf.jpg

https://i.imgur.com/Gp7Qbr6.jpg

Before we talk about the final piece here, let’s pause a moment for a bibliographic note: this is a short story collection. As is typical for short story collections (in the King family at least), many of these stories have been previously published in various magazines and collections, and a few had not. Two of the stories were written with a collaborator. It is with this other collaborator that Subterranean Press pulled off a magnificent surprise: a bonus signature sheet in the lettered edition only! This was not announced in advance, nor during production, nor even in the shipping notice. It only came to light as the lucky buyers received their books! And it might not have been nearly as widely known, until Camelot Books received their copies and sent out news to their extensive email list. This, of course, started a stampede from King collectors to try to track down copies, as King’s signature has become more and more elusive in the last years.

https://i.imgur.com/VwW5VZ6.jpg

I’ll end with this note: this was simply a beautiful gesture and a wonderful gift that Sub Press provided to the pre-order purchasers, unlike anything else I’ve heard of recently (the only similar thing I can think of is some Suntup Edition books that had materials and designs upgraded after the fact at no extra cost to the buyers). If this had not been included, the book would have still held up excellently, given the design, remarque, and fantastic materials. If this had been stated in advance, it would have sold out immediately and could have commanded a much higher price. And it most certainly would have ended up almost exclusively in the hands of King collectors. Whereas, in this case, it was a generous gift to Sub Press customers who dropped $1500 based on the strength of the lettered releases at this price point and the fans of the author alone. Now, I certainly don’t begrudge the King collecting community descending on this book so quickly and intensely - it’s what they collect! And it’s a very pretty book! But make no mistake: this was a gift, a very generous one, to a small subset of 26 Sub Press collectors. May Bill and crew reap their proper karmic rewards!

Thank you, Bill!

Hello everybodeeeeeee!!

Today I’d like to talk a lot about Full Throttle, the lettered edition of which was put into the world recently by Subterranean Press.

This book got a lot of hype when it was released a couple of weeks ago (for a very good reason!) but I feel like to some extent the book itself got lost in all the talk about one particular page – missing the forest for a tree, as it were. And it really is a very nice production. So, to remedy this, let’s take a holistic look at this edition, with much-needed (and greatly appreciated) photography from ym2000. I think these pictures do it more than enough justice but it’s a recent favorite of mine, so here are some words about it:

As always, we’ll start on the outside and work our way in.

First – the traycase. Without question, the first thing you notice with this case is the interesting and VERY bold color scheme. Teal and orange are not necessarily two tastes that you might want to taste together… But, I have to say: it works. On two levels, actually! First: the colors are both specific callbacks to themes in the interior design and the stories themselves, so using them as the main design colors was both brave and honest to the rest of the material.Second: tying these colors together aesthetically is no small feat, and they get a handy assist in the form of some world-class hand-marbled endpapers.

https://i.imgur.com/GaQRHbI.jpg

The traycase is teal, with orange leather spine labels, and there was an excellent decision to use black cloth for the sides and fore-edge of the case. Teal or orange would have really pushed it and it might have been too much. The black tones it down a little – every piece matters!

https://i.imgur.com/Bg1kMy8.jpg

Inside the traycase is another great feature, made even better by the interesting dimensions of the book: the remarque! The McKean remarques are duotone, (mostly) black and (some) teal, matching the interior design of the book. There is a raised frame of sorts built into the case, keeping the remarque and book separated (though it never hurts to add a thin, acid-free barrier such as glassine, of your own). Given the boldness of the colors on the traycase and book, this was a better feature than the more common marbled interior front board, I think. It’s a neat way to have a remarque included that is actually displayable! And because of the dark colors it doesn’t compete with, or overdo, the book it faces.

https://i.imgur.com/Df1HD6K.jpg

https://i.imgur.com/0201jfK.jpg

Onto the book itself!

The first notable element is the shape (which is the same as the numbered). It’s an unusual trim size – any square, not just this particular size – not just for Sub Press, but for most of the small genre presses. And for most presses in general, it turns out! Square books just aren’t very common. Most books that don’t fit the standard proportion are books that simply rotate it 90 degrees and are deeper than they are tall. Maybe there is a collectible sub-genre that has a lot of them? It’s a common size in toddler books, the ones with the thick cardboard pages, at least, and probably somebody collects those. But for those who don’t recognize the name “Sandra Boynton” square books are probably a very small percentage of your collection… Anyway – different! Notable!

The second thing you notice is the color and design –the colors are the same orange and teal from the traycase, but with more orange here as the leather component of a quarter leather binding design. And – absolutely the right call, hands down – no dustjacket on this one.

https://i.imgur.com/qiRnvGr.jpg

https://i.imgur.com/okazSPN.jpg

Now, where do these colors come from? I mentioned at the beginning that I think they’re very intentional colors that come from different elements and needed a deft design to harmonize. The teal started somewhere with the first iteration of the book – the cover of the US first edition is done in duotone black and teal on a tan background. The numbered Sub Press edition leaned into a teal palette pretty heavily, as does the interior of the lettered edition. Some with bluer or greener hues, and some bang-on (like the marbled endpapers). And this is a harder color to catch an honest glimpse of in photographs! In all of the previous photographs of this, the teal has looked too light to me, the orange a bit, too – much more washed out than in person. So THANK YOU ym2000 for bringing these true colors to light here!

https://i.imgur.com/6v4LEY7.jpg

The orange took me a minute. I didn’t recognize it at first. I thought it was a bold combination, that it was tied together well (by a specific element we’ll talk about in a minute), but I didn’t quite understand. Then it hit me - the orange is from the Harley-Davidson logo! I’m sure the actual RGB color combination is like trademarked proprietary Harley-Davidson property or something but this is close enough to be a clear homage, and to tie in just perfectly with the strong bike motif. This was a risky, but very clever choice! Admirable!

There’s another element here that deserves some attention, a small black stamp on the front board. This stamp, combined with the luxurious leather (more on this later) really harkened back to another Sub Press classic to me: the lettered Silence of the Lambs. Same super-soft leather (different palette and half-bound), but a nice, relatively simple, single-color stamp. It’s is a small building block that brings the books together and adds an extra touch to the boards without in any way detracting from the other pieces.

https://i.imgur.com/cKgvXJp.jpg

When you do pick up the book, you can start to appreciate the materials. Earlier I noted the quarter leather binding. What I didn’t include, because we were more focused on color choice and shape in that paragraph, was that this is a wonderfully soft leather – excellent quality. A leap above and beyond the leather in the standard lettered releases and fully justifying an extra digit on the price tag. Calf leather, maybe? I don’t think it’s goatskin, because of the texture (though I could be, and often am, wrong!). But – wow – is it soft... And it’s a relatively thick book, quarter-bound, so the heft combined with the texture makes it very nice to hold, especially if you have big enough hands that you can comfortably support the spine.

I’m going to do something I normally don’t do – post the same picture again – but before I was talking about the colors, and this time try to focus your attention on the leather. Check out the grain!

https://i.imgur.com/qiRnvGr.jpg

Now – let’s open it up and check out the interior!

The most important part of the interior, in terms of the aesthetics of this book, are the magnificent hand-marbled endpapers. These are superior works of art on their own – and they should be, given that they were produced by the premier English marbler Jemma Lewis and imported.

https://i.imgur.com/PUQc4vQ.jpg

https://i.imgur.com/Mz67g7N.jpg

This particular type of marbling (Turkish, or something very similar, like Dahlia) serves this book perfectly. Some types of marbling involve the use of combs or swirling to mix the colors, and most of these types end up with a color distribution that is relatively evenly spread. Take out any square centimeter and you are likely to see all the colors involved. The bouquet pattern on the lettered Red Dragon from Suntup Editions is a good example of this. But the Turkish pattern allows for large globular chunks of the primary color, in this case teal, to stay intact, while the secondary colors swirl around it.

https://i.imgur.com/Pb9K78P.jpg

The teal in these endpapers connects the exterior to the interior and makes this a much more cohesive concept. The red, yellow, black, and white, which make up the secondary swirls, give us a wider palette of oranges, some lighter than the Harley-Davidson orange, some darker, and the black gives us another connection to the interior of the book and the art, which do not feature the orange. I’ve seen lots of great uses of marbled paper recently, but this one is notable for how well it ties the interior and exterior elements together – it’s a necessity, in my opinion, for making this book stand out the way it does.

https://i.imgur.com/A9Z45kL.jpg

https://i.imgur.com/HDiupNM.jpg

As we move further into the interior we see a nice pictorial limitation page – always a treat:

https://i.imgur.com/D2dCZsR.jpg

https://i.imgur.com/X2KyVhH.jpg

And some great interior art!

https://i.imgur.com/lpwsd0A.jpg

https://i.imgur.com/opHBw5p.jpg

https://i.imgur.com/8BtWYA1.jpg

Then, there are very neat story headers – abstract additions of color that sometimes reach down into the text:

https://i.imgur.com/uiJesTA.jpg

https://i.imgur.com/lA8s8Mf.jpg

https://i.imgur.com/Gp7Qbr6.jpg

Before we talk about the final piece here, let’s pause a moment for a bibliographic note: this is a short story collection. As is typical for short story collections (in the King family at least), many of these stories have been previously published in various magazines and collections, and a few had not. Two of the stories were written with a collaborator. It is with this other collaborator that Subterranean Press pulled off a magnificent surprise: a bonus signature sheet in the lettered edition only! This was not announced in advance, nor during production, nor even in the shipping notice. It only came to light as the lucky buyers received their books! And it might not have been nearly as widely known, until Camelot Books received their copies and sent out news to their extensive email list. This, of course, started a stampede from King collectors to try to track down copies, as King’s signature has become more and more elusive in the last years.

https://i.imgur.com/VwW5VZ6.jpg

I’ll end with this note: this was simply a beautiful gesture and a wonderful gift that Sub Press provided to the pre-order purchasers, unlike anything else I’ve heard of recently (the only similar thing I can think of is some Suntup Edition books that had materials and designs upgraded after the fact at no extra cost to the buyers).

WOW. Great review and one I would love to own my man:)

[herbertwest]

Stunning pictures and great review!
I wondered who discovered the signature first, and if all the buyers of the lettered opened the books when recieved or if some people may not have heard about King's signature if it wasn't revealed !

Beautiful book.

Best looking book they have done, I have the GE and it is also beautiful!!!

I did, but it was a total impulse buy, which definitely isn’t like me. I hadn’t even heard of the series until Subterranean’s email last week, but I’ve really, really been in the mood for accessible, thrilling, humor-tinged sci-fi with humanity and heart — and I’ve exhausted Scalzi’s offerings — and this seemed to fit the bill perfectly, based on the many reviews I read. If I don’t like it it should be pretty easy to flip.

The page block is the same, but the lettered is quarter bound in high quality leather and hand-marbled paper.

I'm really sorry if this is the wrong place to ask, but I have a query: generally, is there much difference between a lettered edition and a numbered edition besides the quantity available and the clamshell box? For example, I'm really interested in the Gentleman Bastard series, but I can't seem to see what the difference is between the lettered and numbered.

Sometimes the only difference is the designation. Usually the lettered will use more premium techniques and materials, e.g hand marbled endpapers, higher quality paper stock, letterpress printing, additional content and/or signatures, additional artwork, etc..

I can't answer your specific question as regards the Gentleman Bastard series. However, you can certainly expect the books to be in line with other Subterranean editions. A quick query to SubPress will probably provide your answers.

Generally, $1,000-$4,000 and the limitation. LOL

[Hunchback Jack]

I’ve never seen a SubPress release where the only difference between the lettered and numbered releases was the traycase. There is almost always a difference in both binding and boards - even if the dustjacket is the same - and often a difference in paper stock.

The one exception is that they have done chapbook or broadsheet releases where the difference is just the designation. But those are exceedingly infrequent.

Here are some photos of a lettered and numbered of the same book to show differences. Price point matters in SP editions. A $300 lettered will be much different than a $750+ lettered.
Some differences are cloth binding vs. leather, solid endsheets vs. marbled, traycase vs. slipcase. Hope this helps.

I see that Sub Press announced an edition of 'Lovecraft Country' by Matt Ruff. Will have illustrations by David Palumbo - who I think is a great choice here. Not sure about the multi-column layout planned though. As a novel I thought it started stronger than it ended, but may still look to pickup a copy.

A long shot, but I figured i would ask. I have a Jim Butcher "Death Masks" S/L that is missing the dust jacket. Just checking to see if anyone would have an extra to sell me or know where i might find one. Asked Bill at Sub press and they no longer have any.

I do have 2 unfolded Joe Abercrombie " Best Served Cold" S/L dust covers I would trade if anyone is interested.
I also have unfolded dust covers for "Nova" by Samuel R. Delany,
Elric Volume 7 "The Dreamthief's Daughter", and
"Childgrave" by Kenneth Greenhall.

I wish you the best of luck, but it might be easier (expensive) to find the S/L with DJ intact. Odds that someone other than the publisher (who says they have none) has a spare DJ are slim.

That's what I figured, but I figure it never hurts to ask. Somehow I ended up with several extra dust jackets and figured maybe someone else had too.

I had another idea. Would it be possible for someone that has the S/L Death Masks to scan the cover and send me the .pdf. I would pay you for your effort. I could then go to a print shop and have it printed. It wouldn't be perfect, but I would have a cover for the book. If I put it in a broadart cover it might look passable on my shelf.
Just a thought. If anyone could scan the cover I would be grateful.

I don't know when this was announced, but I just learned of it today:

Preorder for Wylding Hall by Elizabeth Hand, shipping in May:

https://subterraneanpress.com/hand-wh-ps/

I see no detail about size or features (there is a cover/dust jacket illustration, which isn't bad); perhaps SP doesn't typically provide that.

$60 for signed/slipcased limited (100 copies) edition, $35 for trade hardcover (no slipcase). Both editions have the dust jacket.

Most horror I've read over the last decade has been short on genuine creepy factor; I recommend Wylding Hall to everybody because it delivers on that.

Although I'm tempted, I likely won't pick this up as I already have PS Publishing's (unsigned) edition of Wylding Hall (https://www.pspublishing.co.uk/wylding-hall-hardcover-by-elizabeth-hand-2015-2753-p.asp) and see nothing compelling design-wise here (I am open to arm-twisting if someone has more detail).

This is edition from PS publishing.
