I have only gotten 1 remarque for Suntup editions, and that was for the Numbered Missery. Mostly because I think that is the only one I remember having seen offered from Suntup directly. Never done a remarque directly with the artist (for any publisher)
For CD books, I do it for numbered and lettered (SK books only) but never gifts. Maybe I am the opposite of other people?

This is just an absolute amazing production, Paul, Becca, and team!I'm in heaven over this release and thrilled to know I'll have a matching set of Suntup McCarthys. The Road is the book that nailed my feet to the floor and Blood Meridian rewards that loyalty tenfold.
I do have to ask if the binding on the numbered is the same as the Coptic binding on the lettered edition of The Road. I see you've described it differently as "butterfly sewing" and not Coptic so I'm assuming there is a significant difference. To be completely honest, I'm nervous about handling this book because I'm about the most graceless, clumsy creature prowling the earth.
ANOTHER OBSERVATION (I know, I'm insufferable): I think it's really interesting that Cormac's name doesn't appear on the cover and Blood Meridian is in the reverse on the back cover.
Love this edition! I'm a lucky man to still have an invitation to this party and a ticket on this train. If nothing else, I'll always have these books.
The only remarque I ever got all on my own was a Bob Eggleton in my copy of Necroscope The Plague Bearer. The other ones have been through CD in my DoubleDay AEs and from Jason Mowry in my Red Dragon AGE. I would have loved to have gotten a Dolce remarque iin my copy of Seed!! Or a Potts remarque for my copy of The Exorcist. But the tide's gone out and I have to conserve.I have only gotten 1 remarque for Suntup editions, and that was for the Numbered Missery.

I did reach out to Richey Beckett for a remarque to tip in to my Rosemary's Baby but he had no availability.
The Lettered BM looks fantastic. Not a big fan of the Numbered, though. The spine design is interesting but it looks very fragile.
I want to congratulate the team as well. To put this effort into a numbered book is so fantastic for those of us who can not get a lettered book.
Then we have Mon with the new quarter. I wonder if the Suntup team would attempt something like this again. I know it's a lot, but the quality
is clearly evident BRAVO.

Two more exquisite productions: bindings, materials, cases, etc. etc.
Eastasia has always taught college students to feel pride or shame according to their race.
Not trying to pry etc., just curious, but what is Becca's role with these?

"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
Graphic designer by trade I believe.
You don't know my kind.....You don't my mind.....Dark necessities are part of my design.....
I actually don’t know what her involvement is in Blood Meridian but she’s a member of the creative team and is often credited on the limitation page alongside Jerry Kelly and Paul.Not trying to pry etc., just curious, but what is Becca's role with these?

I am really excited about the look of this book. It will become THE staple in my Suntup collection.

Wanted: Human skin edition of The Book of the Dead. Will accept PC copy.
J/w how you feel about Ellis doing the intro?I love King. I love McCarthy. The thought of King writing an intro to Blood Meridian is completely inappropriate and wouldn't make sense to me at all. Again - I LOVE both authors, but no one will ever put McCarthy and King in the same classification. Ever.
People that would be more in line for an introduction to this book would be Marilynne Robinson, Margaret Atwood, Alice Munroe, Salman Rushdie, or J.M. Coetzee. Even Barbara Kingsolver is appropriate.

Ordered my Blood Meridian yesterday. This is going to be a pinnacles of my collection. I hope Paul isn’t losing too much money on the Numbered. It’s not an inexpensive purchase, but it seems like a hell of a good deal for what we’re getting.
"...that Siren which called and sang and promised so much and gave, after all, so little." ~ Ray Bradbury
Agree. It will be the nicest book in my collection for some time to come. Although I wouldn’t put it past Paul and team to produce something beyond this.
Okay - well since you asked... Blood Meridian is known for its level of gore and violence -- which isn't entirely off brand from Bret Easton Ellis. So it's of the same vein, but I wouldn't classify BEE the caliber of author of CMC. It makes total sense, though.J/w how you feel about Ellis doing the intro?I love King. I love McCarthy.

This raises an interesting question: do publishers consider the opinion of the author in choosing contributors such as the writer of an introduction? It would feel awkward if, for example, McCarthy thought little of BEE.

I'll be interested in reading what Ellis has to say.

I imagine they have a vote on this. I can't imagine BEE writing an intro for The Infinite Jest, even with Foster Wallace being dead.

IMO, if the author turns down the option to write his/her own introduction, they turn down the right to control who authors that introduction.This raises an interesting question: do publishers consider the opinion of the author in choosing contributors such as the writer of an introduction?
