Suntup Editions

[jeffingoff]

Mine is still showing for tomorrow but that's ok, I'm tracking the shipment and driving to the truck right now.

...I can picture you driving up to the truck. Getting out of the car and pry open the door of the truck...

He could pull a Raiders of the Lost Ark, mounting the in-motion truck and fighting his way to the book.

I unboxed the truck. Peeling the roof off of the moving vehicle. I crashed through the top of the trailer screaming "Remember the ALAMO!" I found my double-decker Suntup box, the tape glows in the dark. I didn't know that. Or maybe it wasn't glowing. Maybe I was just in Berserker mode. I grabbed the box as the truck slammed to a stop and the door opened. The postman stood there, a silhouette with the sun outlining him. I screeched "I'll unbox your intestines!" and then everything went dark.

Right on ! You showed that domestic mail abuser how a proper unboxing is done, one question though: did you film it?

I guess there’s some bodycam footage. But my lawyer is still in the discovery phase of preparations. She hasn’t gotten the videos yet.

The S/L and AGE of Red Dragon are some of the most beautiful books I've ever had the pleasure of seeing. I can't believe they are in my collection.

[daniel_pyle]

Others have already said it, but the AGE really is gorgeous. Mine just arrived and is now living happily among my other top-shelf books. I still can't believe it was only $65. This has to be the best bang-for-your-buck book in my collection.

[ZombieElvis]

and its another grand slam!

My AGE has arrived in Chicago! I'm hoping I either get it tomorrow or Saturday.

I plan on reading the series again. It's been many years since I last read it. Also, I've never read Hannibal Rising so I'll have an excuse to finally read that.

I'm pleased you all are happy with the editions of Red Dragon. I just heard from Thomas Harris today after receiving his copies, and he is very pleased!

So this label was actually an upgrade I made at the last minute. It was supposed to be 2 hits foil stamping, but it didn't look good at all. So we ended up making these labels, with the gold foil stamp. Not something I would normally do on an AGE, but it had to be done.

[MikeDuke]

I am so pleased with how this book turned out. The AGE an numbered are simply stunning. I can't get over how well made both books are. I mean really, they are fantastic. The cover Art for the AGE is wonderful and I absolutely love the fabric for the numbered. I am really glad I got both.
Another home run Paul.

I wish hearing from Thomas Harris was part of my work day! Think we may see the entire series get the Suntup treatment? Hannibal is actually my favorite.

Think he will do more of his books?

Happy to hear Thomas Harris is "very" pleased with your production of his book, Paul! He should be- it's absolutely a beautiful edition of an important novel. I'm so pleased to have it in my collection, as it's in my Top 5 favorite novels. Congrats, all the way around!

[jeffingoff]

I’m sure it’s an absolute thrill, the validation you feel to hear from these authors that they love the way their work was represented. I’m so happy for you Paul and Becca! You keep exceeding expectations.

I tried to make a gif of how the slipcase material reacts to light. May take a second to load.

EDIT: Just put it on youtube.

Paul, does your numbering system for books include the copies dedicated for the authors? Or are those separately numbered or marked somehow? How many personal copies do the authors get?

[zelig]

Thanks, yes it’s always good to know the authors or the Estates are pleased with the results.

The way I designate contributor copies is with a “PC”. That would be for authors, artists, agents, publishers, etc., etc. These are produced in addition to the 250 run for public sale. As to how many copies an author receives, it can vary from book to book.

So the copies “reserved for private distribution” for Misery was a one-off? Just curious about the behind-the-scenes magic.

The sheer beauty of these books broke my phone camera during my unboxing, haha! So I wasn't fully able to capture the AGE.

Jeff had previously complimented my pronunciation of names. So I had to prove him wrong and pretty much had a stroke while filming. It was fun regardless!

Thank you VERY much Paul and Becca. This is your best one yet, in my opinion!

[Br!an]

Red Dragon S/L is beautiful!

Are the AEs all shipped? I hope not, since I haven't received a notice yet.

Love the cliffhanger ending!! And you didn't butcher anyone's names! And even if you did, you enunciated your mispronunciations clearly enough to fool everyone. When I stumble, I sound like I'm gargling Cap'n Crunch cereal. Love the look at your copies!

That's weird. Yes all AGE's have shipped. I'm going to look into it.

Just got the shipping notice. Thanks, Paul.

[GenericEric]

It's always nice to wake up to a Suntup box sitting on my porch.

AGE is beautiful. Really love the slipcase with the nice scaly look and feel.

Hey Paul, I’m in the same boat as Brian, I haven’t received a shipping notice either. Would you look into mine as well?

I'm aware of your order as well. Turns out about around 10 orders did not get fulfilled. The software tagged them incorrectly, so they didn't show up when I was cutting labels. They will go out early next week. Sorry about that.

[NiceM]

Jason Mowry brought this to next level. What a fabulous choice Paul. I really hope you can work with him again in the future. Sheer beauty these books.
