I want to hear about tracking down all those old typewriters...
It seems I'm miles above the surface of the Earth
I can see across the whole of London and beyond
Haha, yeah, one of those good problems that doesn’t quite seem that way in the moment.
Best of luck Paul! You’re doing a killer job on everything. I agree with others that this looks like it’s going to be on par with productions like The Stand and Lettered Regulators.
Summited my request for a matching letter (possibly twice in my paranoia)
I’m also curious about how you acquired all those old typewriter keys.

Paul, will the #s on the limitation page be printed like Centipede Press or will they be numbered by hand?
I quite like the way Centipede Press do their numbering, so I'm hoping they will be printed....
ok... so everyone who has Eotd portfolio is eligible for an early preorder but only those with numbers lower than185 have a chance to match.
ok... that changes it all... a bit.
because if eotd sold more that 185 (and now i'm sure it did) it will still be a race to order during secret auction
EDIT:
now i believe i was wrong

Looks like I now also own an EOTD portfolio. No way could I miss an opportunity to own this edition of Misery!
I definitely won't be sorry. I gave it some thought after posting and I think the reason is that, as far as signed/limited editions go, I've always been drawn to the 'classics' and the more understated limiteds. I have zero interest in any of the limited editions that were issued after I started collecting and became aware of the concept of high-end books (circa 2006). This is the first limited edition that I will be able to buy at issue price and that actually triggers my collector senses.
I have a few days left to ponder and decide..
It's on the Misery private link form. To me, it looks as if you have a number under 185 there shouldn't be a scramble because you will get an order link to match your number. At least I hope that I am correct in this assumption. He offered portfolios numbered under 185 between today and tomorrow and once those numbers are gone I believe it will be marked as sold. That's what I understand from becca's explanation.
I logged on to Suntup Press just a minute ago to check and see if they were gone and it's just been spinning and spinning. Seems to me the site is blowing up! Glad I ordered when I did!
And I'm really excited for you Paul.
Yes, anyone with portfolios under 185 will be able to match their copy of Misery, whether you bought it last year, today or tomorrow before 9PM PST and as long as you have submitted the matching form.
Wanted: Human skin edition of The Book of the Dead. Will accept PC copy.
I'm super excited for Paul too. This is an incredible get! One of King's best. Way to go Paul!
i hope i got right number

Top notch marketing. Very slick. A great product helps. I even feel a compulsion to own one of those penguins.
Its on the page with the form to request a matching number. I am a little confused by this. So it seems that we aren't actually getting a matching number, just that we are guaranteed an order. Also, is there some kind of verification that the person is the actual owner? Seems open to abuse/liers.

If you order a portfolio today or tomorrow, you won't immediately be given a specific number but it will be a number under 185. Then when you get the email to purchase the book (or a subscription) you will be told what that number is and you will be able to get the matching copy of Misery.
Also, Paul will be keeping track and if there is a double order for the same number, he will confirm with the owners that they have the portfolio in their possession and the duplicate order will be cancelled.

well... at the moment it is not possible what number you will get bit i understand that you will get number below 185 because store inventory is set to the amount of these.
after that...if you apply for matching copy you will get a matching copy (but as stated earloer you don't know what number)
