Wow Brian, that does look really cool. Congrats.

It's freaky.

Under the assumption that other publishers will get copies (specifically Lividian Press) I didn't order the artist editions of Starship Troopers and Stranger in a Strange Land.

Time to wait and see.

Just curious what the reasoning is behind taking a chance and waiting to get it from another publisher; why not buy from the source when you know it's available?

because many times you don't have to pay until published.

But then wouldn't you have to deal with price mark-ups, shipping delays, and potential issues with damage due to additional shipping?

Nope. Sells for the same price as on Suntup and as mentioned I don't have to pay until they ship and that helps a lot.

I've purchased Suntup books from Lividian before and haven't had any issues yet. I've also been exclusively pre-ordering all the Suntup artist editions from Lividian. Currently have 4 on pre-order.

2020 Holiday Gift

At this time of year, we love to take the opportunity to thank our loyal customers for their support of Suntup Editions. In 2019, we produced a limited edition broadside of the closing paragraph from The Road by Cormac McCarthy, which was sent to our customers.

This year, we have been cooking up a very unique gift! Our loyal customers who have placed at least five orders from us during 2020 will receive an ARC of our January 2021 book, along with a letterpress printed “hang tag”, which is set in metal type, and signed by Paul Suntup.

But wait! That’s not all. The names of all recipients of this gift will be printed in the ARC in a special section.

To claim this gift, please submit the form below no later than Tuesday, December 15th 2020 at 12 P.M. Pacific.

ONE ENTRY PER PERSON PLEASE. ORDERS MUST HAVE BEEN PLACED WITH SUNTUP EDITIONS DIRECTLY. ORDERS FROM BOOK DEALERS DO NOT QUALIFY. MUST BE 5 SEPARATE ORDERS, NOT 5 ITEMS ON ONE OR TWO ORDERS. THANK YOU!!!

I know this has been brought up in the Suntup facebook group, but did anyone have the problem with pages being cut uneven in The Invisible Man Numbered Edition? I personally don't have this edition, but a few people have reported they have the same problem.

People have reported it's pages 165-172. Not sure exactly how widespread it is.

By cut uneven do you mean the margins are different? The pages look fine in my copy, but it looks like the text is shifted up higher.

Actually looking through out the book, it appears the text shifts up and down the page through out.

A random sampling of pages I notice anywhere from about 9/16 in to 1 1/4 inch from bottom of page to page number. I didn't confirm measurements, but the distance between top of page and text seems relative to the shift at the bottom.

Perhaps this is intentional?

I just looked at my copy. The top and bottom margins change. The text appears closer to the top of the page.

Congrats on the amazing, nutty release. Apparently this is the Dawn of the Era of the AE. The Heinlein Collection tied with Neuromancer all the while completely selling out one AE and over 90% of another.

Crazy and amazing. Cramazing.

Yea, that shipping notice was great. Especially since I have another one from another company. Next week may be a great week.

If another SK book is offered, what do we think the stand alone price of Misery would be since rights is a chunk of the current going price?

[MikeDuke]

It would most likely push it over $10,000 until the new King book came out, then it might drop a little since it would no longer carry rights once the new one came out. But that's just a guess by me.

[Lookwhoitis]

Apparently this is the Dawn of the Era of the AE.

I mean the AE is what people can afford. The quality of them are super high as well.
They are also available to buy on onsale date without having to jump through the exclusivity hoop of rights, and through certain channels you don't have to pay until they ship.

I don't know where to peg the "average" mindset of a Suntup fan, but there are certainly many people who are content to just spend a hundred or couple hundred bucks on a GE/AE instead of dropping a rent or mortgage payment a month a on a numbered.
(My bank account wishes i were one of them )

$10k at the minimum. In fact, I think you could see it bouncing off the 12k mark

If that's the case- mine would have to be "sacrificed". No question.

And you wouldn’t be alone. Those rights would have incredible power Shoudl Paul announce another king and especially if it was another popular title

I don’t think there are that many buyers for a numbered king regardless of the production at that price. The market would flood and tank the values.

Maybe. I didn’t think it would hit 8k... yet there is multiple sales and above now. The amount of $$ for
Collectables during a pandemic And economic slow down.. just astounds me.

Thank you. I think you're right. The AE books seem to have gained a foothold now. Wherever possible, I've included one on as many future releases as possible, primarily due to many customers requesting them. So you're going to be seeing more of these.
