Suntup Editions

[webstar1000]

Here’s a fantasy,

It is Jonathon Strange, with Charles Vess on art, and Rich Tong of Lyra fame on board printing and binding etc....

All wrapped in a neat Suntup glow!

One can only dream of such a collaboration.

I WOULD FREAKIN DIE FOR A RICH BOUND SUNTUP. He would just do it under the other company Ludlow Binders. But I am a HUGE fan of his work...

Don't tease me like that!

Definitely of interest, but $195 is high for me (given that I'm an "entry level" type of collector). I'm reading this now and not sure (although I'm liking it) that I need a deluxe of it. If I end up loving it, and if there are any left in 2 weeks or so when I finish it, perhaps. Until then...

Imajica by Barker

[St. Troy]

Forgive my temporary insanity: FOMO engaged and order placed (if the book goes on to disappoint - on a relative basis - I can always cancel). I love the colors...

[St. Troy]

Kudos to JeremyM for nailing this:

I'm pretty sure Paul is referencing Oliver Byrne's 'Elements of Euclid', which was published in 1847. It's notable for having using colored graphical elements to illustrate the various geometric concepts.

[MikeDuke]

Got the numbered. They all look great and the 2 volume lettered is special.

[St. Troy]

I am curious about the Artist Edition's slipcase, which is described as "a color shifting paper covered slipcase with an acrylic coating." "Paper covered" makes me think I'm touching paper, but "acrylic coating" sounds like I'm touching acrylic and paper happens to be under it. Fine either way; I'm just having a hard time imagining what it would be like.

I figured the AE would be in the $200 range considering the size and production value.

Looks like a wise decision. I was curious on sales with the price point, but I purchased mine as soon as the site was up, and there were 730 or so copies available. I'm guessing copies reserved for other sellers may have accounted for perhaps 250 copies, so roughly 750 available for purchase. Thirty minutes in, 316 copies remaining. Not sure if it could be a one day sellout, but it may be close!

I am contemplating (due to financial need) the idea of selling my numbered copy of Imagica WITHOUT RIGHTS.

If anyone is looking to buy the book only, send me a pm and we can discuss.

[BrewMeister]

Two hours in, 82 AE copies left!

[MikeDuke]

Make that 72.

[St. Troy]

Is 1,000 the highest Artist Edition limitation quantity Suntup has done (as I suspect)? That's pretty fast for that number of $200 books.

[MikeDuke]

Yes he has done 1,000 before. Most recently, The Exorcist And there are only 10 now.

[MikeDuke]

Make that 7. WOW.

[St. Troy]

Yes he has done 1,000 before. Most recently, The Exorcist.

But nothing over 1,000?

Misery had 1,250 copies, otherwise I believe 1,000 has been the highest for any other title. I also believe $195 makes this the highest priced AE to date.

Less than three hours in and only 3 copies left. I'm going to pop the cork and congratulate Paul and team for another same day sell out!

[MikeDuke]

.....AND the AE is SOLD OUT.

[St. Troy]

Gone. Whether, in the end, I end up keeping my order, I clearly made the right choice.

[St. Troy]

Thanks for the info MikeDuke and BrewMeister.

[MikeDuke]

right, I forgot that there were 1,250 for the AE of Misery. But most have been 1,000. Except RB which was 500 and I think a few of the new ones are 750.

[St. Troy]

how loud do you suppose the teeth-gnashing over at LibraryThing is going now?
