Thanks for the link, I'll check it out.
I admire your sleuthing skills, but you're off base with this one! There is nothing there about the book I was referencing. And I didn't mean the book was obscure. I meant the paper moth as a clue. Maybe obscure wasn't the right word, but to guess the book as having some sort of connection to that moth is not easy. Although I shouldn't be surprised that it has already been mentioned.So, Death Heads Moth clue...
It's an important yet an obscure novel, yet i just checked my Death Heads Moth and found this.
It resembles something, i just can't seem to pin point it; is it a man sitting down in a meditative way or does it resemble an animal?
In my opinion it would be too direct for the moth itself to be a clue.
Ps: i might just see thing in this that aren't even there.
Yes, it's going to be exciting. I always enjoy giving away prizes.
Agreed! Thank you Paul. I’m super excited to see the editions tomorrow!
No problem! Good luck!
Have to say, a beautiful copperplate!I agree. I've always loved his perfect cursive penmanship.
Hope is a good thing, maybe the best of things, and no good thing ever dies.
The more I think about it, the more I believe that my Guess of The Collector is the book that the moth is a clue to. The moth collection is a key part of the story and there has been a limited produced before. It is also a fantastic book!Thanks for the link, I'll check it out.

Ah, i see. Well thank you for the clarification on that, it was driving me insane there. 🤣Thanks for the link, I'll check it out.

No, just kidding but i did wonder about the moth when i received the book.
Excited for today's announcement, that will be awesome!

Speaking of the paper moth, I found a floating display frame on Amazon that fits it pretty well. It's 4.3" x 4.3", for those wanting to find one.
The Suntup extras are always really neat.

Just out of (greedy) curiosity, how do the giveaway contests on (ugh!) Facebook work?
Do you have to immediately send some kind of response to a trivia question or something like that?
Do you have to have a (yuck!) Facebook membership to participate?
Do bribes work?
I'm sure if there is intelligent life somewhere out there in the universe, they are wise enough to stay away from us.

Less than two hours from now! I can’t wait!

When Paul has giveaways during his Facebook live events, he sometimes just says something like "the next five comments I see get a prize." Other times, like yesterday, he simply picks a number of random comments made during his live presentation, and those lucky individuals get a prize. I've never seen one with trivia or anything. I haven't personally won anything yet; perhaps I should try a bribe!
Unless I missed something yesterday, I did not hear anything about today's prizes being given away on Facebook. There was a lot of talk about "golden tickets" (from us, not Paul) leading up to this event. I'm kind of wondering if he'll do something like that. Stick tickets in random copies of AEs maybe? Perhaps all preorders win something? Maybe one lucky winner gets a Roman?!? Hard to say with Paul, but we should know in less than an hour!

Added another copy of the numbered Horns to my collection. Oh how to do love this production.
You don't know my kind.....You don't my mind.....Dark necessities are part of my design.....
So that makes 2 numbered and one lettered? Impressive. Most impressive.

Excuse my total naivety on this, but why collect more than one copy of a book? I've never purchased more than one copy of a book, except by accident.So that makes 2 numbered and one lettered? Impressive. Most impressive.

I have many copies of the same book throughout my collection. Variants for one reason. In the case of Horns, it's one of my all time favorites and the production is gorgeous. This is actually the 5th numbered copy that I've owned. 3 were sold previously to help in acquiring the lettered.Excuse my total naivety on this, but why collect more than one copy of a book?

I bought all the artist editions and hired a bunch of people to sort through them for the golden tickets.
I flooded the market with fakes; just to muddy the waters.

It can be difficult to describe Suntup without seeming like a paid sycophant. Suntup is like a damn good publisher that then hires an outside team to come in after the fact to add zippy bells and whistles (prizes, extras, boxes of chocolate, even the tape on the box (I think)) - except Suntup does it all on its own.
Paul - thank you for going full out on all of this, every book; it's such a pleasure, as a bibliophile, to see each thing he does.

Why not have more than one copy of the same book?
They look so spiffy all lined up together!

Ordered numbered and AE. Wasn’t planning on getting AE but wow. I think I like it more than the numbered.
Wish List:
Any of the following flatsigned or inscribed-
It, Shining, Salem’s Lot, Mr. Mercedes, The Stand
Brother ARC, Seed ARC
I might like a copy to read and one to keep for preservation. I have a few extra Let the Right One In and Silence of the Lambs for that purpose.Excuse my total naivety on this, but why collect more than one copy of a book?

So quick question for anyone over at Suntup HQ:
I purchased the AE, but also entered the form in advance to that on the site.
Does that negate your chances with the purchase(s)?
If so, can the form entry be removed?
