Suntup Editions

[jeffingoff]

I’m interested to know how the opportunity to buy the Roman Numeral editions will be granted. First into the store on preorder day? A lottery among current lettered holders? Random draw of quiz winners?

I’d love to know what Paul has in mind.

I was puzzling on that, too. Who gets the first shot at those?

[Scoogs]

A series of three? What`s the clues?

Tolkien maybe .. 1 Fellowship of the ring, 2 Two towers, 3 Return of the King ..

Asimov: Foundation, Foundation and Empire, Second Foundation.

I hope it isn't them though. Adding that expense right around the holidays would not be a great idea on my part.

Whenever Paul posts one of his updates, I imagine him sitting in a plush chair, holding a glass of whatever strong liquor he prefers, smoking a Cuban and slowly petting a cat or lizard or something, all while laughing maniacally at all of us as we work ourselves into a frenzy.

Except he doesn't have time to care for a living creature. He just rubs the penguin (that sounds dirty).

Now that you've basically written "Paul sits in a plush chair and reads these posts while rubbing his penguin" I will never worry about anything I post being over the line.

Arthur C. Clarke, 2001: A Space Odyssey, 2010: Odyssey Two, 2061:Odyssey Three (ignore book four 3001).

Poor penguin.

Whatever the three book set is, I'm probably going to want to purchase the full set up front. My wallet is hoping that these will be printed offset instead of letterpress...

I would be surprised if it was not letterpress, given it will have the Roman numerals treatment. A truly luxurious book printed offset would look weird in my opinion.

THOUGH, maybe the lettereds and roman numerals are the editions that do the letterpress lift and the numbered is a more affordable offset edition--considering there's also no AGE.

I reckon the biggest expense in letterpress is the plates, not the printing. That's why we got a free upgrade for Haunting of Hill House, which originally was marketed as offset. Paul told us that since he already had the plates for the lettered edition, it made little sense not to also do the numbered edition as letterpress.

So I think one can reasonably expect that if the top tier edition is letterpress, the numbereds will also be.

Just to clarify, it's a three book set, not a trilogy or a series.

Oh, i`m longing to check this one too as a numbered and probably will .. just have to justify it first and be convinced by the devil on my shoulder and it`s constantly nagging, dragging, pulling and sweet talking

I'm the devil on your shoulder-devil's shoulder. I'm telling him to tell you to do it. Buy it. Get it. Huff it. Keep it. Because what if you pass and that three book set is on the non-King track and it leaves, completely full, at the private pre-order station? What if it is forever out of reach? And when the EMP attack lands and all gadgets are wiped out and all anyone has for entertainment are books and Suntup Editions become treasured currency, THEN where will you be? I am the DEVIL and my name is FOMO.

For once I agree with Jeff. You should buy it. You won't be sorry.

Hear hear! That was my first thought, too.

The set of books (and all three editions) are printed letterpress, however you will be very pleased with the price points. Heck, it's basically a twofer!

I hereby request that Paul hire in a special photographer to do an extensive shoot of whatever the Roman numeral edition is.

That will be done for sure. There will be professional shots of the finished book once it's complete which is a little ways off.

Since the Roman Numeral edition is the first of it's kind offered, it will be opened up for sale to everyone. Lifetime subscribers or Lettered owners will not get early access to this because it's a brand new edition level. There is no connection between Lettered and RN. That's the fairest. So everyone has a crack at it if the funds and desire for it are there.

I've always wanted one of these...and I like where you're going with this, except the cigar part as I don't smoke. But everything else sounds great!

Well, I do have a malachite penguin that is rather nice to the touch.

[Caliban]

.. and order the lovely thing!

`For once I agree with Jeff. You should buy it. You won't be sorry`

: That is proper enablement!

I sent a post to your press Paul about the matter

(Saying i`m hoping to cancel the gift edition order and get a refund, so i can buy the numbered edition if that is no trouble, i`m in)

[jeffingoff]

I LOVE THAT CHAIR!

It's basically a twofer--on a three book set. is this a riddle?

[jeffingoff]

Also, it's not Wayward Pines since that is a trilogy.

[MikeDuke]

Well, Paul has not let us down so I am expecting this three book set to be pretty cool. And I am looking for to seeing the Roman Numeral book. Noticed I said "seeing" because that's as close as
I will ever get to one.

[willie3]

Looking forward to the Roman Numeral edition of The DaVinci Code

That would be great, but the only way to go a step beyond letterpress printing is if the Roman Numeral edition is instead illuminated and transcribed by hand like a pre-Gutenberg book.
Maybe it turns out Becca has a small army of monks locked in her basement working on them now.
(Not to be confused with an army of small monks. She keeps them in the attic, not the basement)

Haven't read it, but from what I know about it, it would be a fun design project for a limited. The first U.S. release was a single hardcover volume, but was split to 3 volumes for the paperback.

I got you Brian. The numbered are it for me though. I wish I could go big, but I can't run with the big dogs on this one. It looks like I will be on the porch. The thing is, it's got a heck of a view. I still can't wait to see one though. I don't know what Paul can do above the lettered books he is already putting out. They are amazing.

You figured it out…

Except the monks are actually trained calligraphy cats

It is a great time to be alive.

No problem. I have plenty of space.

Great surprise FB video, Paul. Awesome contest, too! I’m even more excited for I AM LEGEND.
