"A real limited edition, far from being an expensive autograph stapled to a novel, is a treasure. And like all treasures do, it transforms the responsible owner into a caretaker, and being a caretaker of something as fragile and easily destroyed as ideas and images is not a bad thing but a good one...and so is the re-evaluation of what books are and what they do that necessarily follows." - Stephen King
Good job Paul. I am so happy for your success. I am sorry to all who missed getting a copy.

Misery is not one of my favorites, but I'm definitely looking forward to future Suntup gift editions.

From Suntup:
I am also curious as to what number this works out to. As I said, I'm not interested in Misery, but I will be watching what Suntup does in the future, and hope to have a shot at a gift edition at some point.The gift edition print run will be determined based on pre-order demand, but is capped and will be very limited for a Stephen King book.

I think I read that the edition size will be determined by the number of pre-orders, but will be capped. I don't think I ever saw what that cap would be though.
Wanted:

What's the limitation of the gift edition?

2 mins I think. I was at 5.02 when it kicked me out of my order.
Hi All. I am just coming up for a quick breath here, before diving back into this. We were completely blasted once the store opened up for orders. Everything that could beep or buzz, was beeping and buzzing. And there were some dings in there too. There were a couple of glitches, which were resolved as fast as humanly possible, within a minute or less. Some good lessons were learned, and for a release as massive as this one , I am really pleased with how it all went.
I'm sorry some missed out. The reality is that the remaining copies of the Numbered sold in under 2 minutes. I checked the time clock. There's always going to be some disappointed people when demand is so much greater than supply.
I am always available if you have any questions or concerns. Feel free to email me directly at paul[at]suntup[dot]press.
Thank you for your support of the press! I am truly committed to making some of the best books available today for you to enjoy.
Don't breathe too long Paul. Now you have to ship all of those portfolios
Congratulations on a hugely successful release. Like it was going to go any other way? I'm very happy for you.
Next time you're in Bangor could ya let me know please?
Agreed - congrats on a very successful launch!

Swiftly flow the books (out of print)
Is the little print run I carried?
That sold out without delay?
There's more, but you get the drift.
I'm sure if there is intelligent life somewhere out there in the universe, they are wise enough to stay away from us.
