Suntup Editions

[GenericEric]

Was finally able to get the artist edition of Rosemary's Baby from someone on the facebook group!

Trying to find this edition hasn't been easy. They rarely pop up on ebay anymore. It was sent in the original Suntup packaging too! Worth every penny!

Congrats. May be selling mine, still on the fence.

One week until the new book is announced! I'm still thinking its Imajica but there are so many possibilities. Fantasy books are inclined to be long works. I'm wondering if this is a standalone work though or the first book of a larger series? If standalone it may be easier to narrow down what it could be.

Not Suntup related, per se, but I see Earthing Publications is producing a numbered edition of Ania Alborn's new novel Dark Across the Bay for $50. They are also doing a 15 copy lettered with a TBD price. Since this is just coming out, I doubt if Suntup will be doing an edition of this book, so I thought I'd send out a heads up.

If you want the lettered edition you have to put your name on a list.
The price will be about $500, which sounds reasonable, seeing there are only 15 copies.
I'm on the list but I doubt I will get one with my bad luck.

I'm reading Imajica now (for the first time) to try to see if it's something I'd want a deluxe edition of; I doubt I'll finish in time, but we'll see. Exciting, no matter what it is.

Not that anyone needs any more trolling in their lives, but there are quite a few people on LibraryThing of the opinion that Paul invented the concept of limitation, of which (and of him) they don't think highly. It really is something.

I WILL NOT go to that posineous bullshit site. That makes me vibrate with anger...

What a treat Imajica is - I hope you are enjoying it.

I've never been there before, but I just skimmed through the thread St. Troy was talking about and you're not wrong. I've already had enough and won't be going there again.

It makes me vibrate with amusement - all these supposed "book people" professing to be surprised by a publisher with small print runs.

It's unheard of!

What on earth is this Suntup about?

Who does he think he is?

Surely he takes us for a pack of uncultured swine!

Doubtless his rapid growth and constant sellouts are but the first leg of the road to failure!

...or maybe specialty publishing involves small runs of a custom product, but I'm no expert.

(Also, no one tell them about Virgil Abloh's bricks. Shhhhh!)

I'm about 270 pages in, and while I am enjoying it, the funny thing is that the parts that technically are more "fantasy":

Spoiler:

with Gentle and Pie traveling outside our world

...are much less entertaining than the more conventional parts, which are gritty and compelling (I find the former sillier, almost unserious, as if Barker doesn't want us as invested in it).

Just looked at that library thing thread too. Suntup is “behind”? Come on. I think they’ve only been “late” because of production errors. Paul certainly seems to have hit his releases thus far.

Won’t make much difference, but did add a comment on the spoiled child tone exhibited in the original Library Thing post.
Talk about an asshat...

Seems like a lot of folks aren’t happy unless they have something to complain about.

One more reason I’m not a big fan of people. 😁

Dissent not welcome.

That was exhausting and unsatisfying (now I know how my wife feels). Every complaint, in other words: “I should have the right to buy whatever I want. This is only rights system I believe in.”

It’s all sour grapes. They can’t get them. They can’t get them for the price they want. They can’t tolerate a world where both those things are true. So it must be Suntup’s fault. Or human folly. Or hype. Or scam. Or gimmick. Or market manipulation. Or addiction. Or fad.

I’ve never seen a more privileged assortment of twats wrapping their pouting in such intellectual rendering worthy of a letterpress that requires nothing so barbaric and crude as electricity.

I couldn’t even read that all. Unreal... what is up their asses? That’s just pathetic lol

I did not even read the article, and although the day is young, THIS IS the quote of the day

That second paragraph was my thoughts exactly.

I don't like that website, i think it is an overrated gimmicky (kind of) library thing, not worth my time and.. well, it's just too damn gimmicky tbh.

I remember the summer I read Imajica, 99'. I worked in the "garden" center of the Target near me. I had all the time in the day to read books. It was the complete paperback, (not the split in 2 books version.)

It would be such a experience to be able to return to that world by way of a Suntup production.

With 2 little ones and real work now in my life, it would have to wait. But, I'd have it waiting on my shelf; and when the time comes, it would bring a lot of joy!
