Suntup Editions

[Noxus35]

This could very well become my first numbered Suntup edition, if there are any left by the time the public pre-order goes out.

I definitely think you’ll have a shot. Just be ready when the link goes live. I think at 9am PST.

Thanks! Off course i'll be ready for it, logged in and with an itchy "triggerfinger". 😁

I think you should a good shot at getting one. I don't want to give way how may are left, by you should have a good shot at it.

I'm pretty sure there will be fewer copies of The Lottery available for the public preorder than were available for Red Dragon which sold out in 26 minutes. But then again F451 had fewer available than RD and it took much longer to sell out. But both sold out the same day and I expect that trend to continue with The Lottery.

I just need to log in at Suntup & Paypal ten minutes before and i think i'll be safe. 😉

Wouldn't it be neat to have a stone shaped & Suntup logo engraved paperweight to come with the book? 🤭

[Noxus35]

I agree that they will sell will probably sell out the same day but I hope for people who want it, it's more than 2 min. We shall see.

Red Dragon went pretty fast, so hopefully this one will hang on longer for me to pick it up. 🤔

It looks like Paul has already made an upgrade to the lettered edition!

The original posting advertised handmade paper from a company called Twinrocker in Indiana, and the page now states that the paper is handmade Velke Losiny paper from the Czech Republic. I'll leave it up to interested folks to look it up further, but that paper mill has been around since 1596 (one site states that the owner's wife was burned at the stake in the medieval witch trials!) and makes, arguably, the best handmade paper in the world. I have had the delightful experience of feeling Velke Losiny paper and it's absolutely marvelous! The only word I can think of to describe it is "buttery" - it's rich and thick and super soft and you can immediately tell that it's different from any other paper you've seen. Cool stuff!

Eagle eye! I went out with the wrong paper maker, so I corrected it on the website. Every now and then, I make a mistake. It doesn't happen often though... tsk tsk... But yes, Velké is considered the crown jewel of European paper making, and they really have been around since the late 1500's. The books are already printed on that paper.

I know there's been some criticism of The Lottery due to the page count, but I see it as just one more example of Paul's willingness to do something perceived as unusual because he believes the work is worth it. (Yes, The Lottery often comes packaged with other stories, but a special edition of The Lottery exists in the first place because of The Lottery specifically, so I love the idea of a standalone edition)

I figured there would be some criticism around the fact that we are publishing only this single short story, but that's okay. This edition absolutely had to be The Lottery, and only The Lottery. I didn't want to include any other stories, just for the sake of making something book length. The intent was to spotlight this story. Simple as that. And essentially, despite its length, it's still a bound 'book', just like any other with more pages. Think of the shelf space I am helping you save!!

Ps wonder if there will be a lottery for The Lottery (lettered)

There just might be a lottery for The Lottery.

[Randall Flagg]

Think of it (The Lottery) as the Lord John Press versions of "Dolan's Cadillac". The difference is The Lottery is a much better story, and as exquisite as the materials used to create the LJP version, Suntup's book will surpass what LJP accomplished (except for King's signature).

I have my copy of The Lottery pre-ordered! My body is ready! My wallet was not, haha...

[Hunchback Jack]

I don’t remember exactly how many Misery S/Ls were available for the public preorder, but I think it was around 40?

[MikeDuke]

For those are up late on the east coast there are 55 numbered and 3 lettered. Good luck every one.
