Suntup Editions

Perhaps people are missing that King himself may not have wanted , or would agree to 52, 70, 104 "lettered copies". There rarely is a magic number that pleases all parties in rarity, cost access, etc,

Dennis McMillan did them. Produced some very nice books, mostly mysteries.

Thanks Kris. So I found 3 copies of the lettered Misery in the warehouse. $10,000 each, first come first served.


Kidding!

It may be worthwhile to invent some new letters for the alphabet...

Some publishers believe that alphabet has 52 letters. Thank you for not being one of them.

That doesn't bother me. It gives an additional 26 people the chance to actually own a copy.

I've also seen Lettered Edition runs of just 13 copies.

Good idea. For the next book, anyone who has #14 on up, tough break.

The run could keep getting smaller for each subsequent book until there's only 1 for all of the collectors to fight over...!

And then I would be the most hated dude in small press publishing.

Especially if you just kept that one copy for your own collection!

[zelig]

You have all the good ideas, dontcha!

It would be a smoother, less distraught world if all books were published only in easy to find trade editions.

It would also be a much duller, quite boring and nothing for book collectors to look forward to world.

I prefer the more interesting world.

Well, that's what the rebound work from Jerome is, isn't it?

Opinions seem to be split regarding 26/52 lettered runs. The only way for more collectors to get in on a future lettered is to run 52 copies. Two things will impact that decision. One is that I have always been against doing a 52 copy lettered, and the other is that the author may not want to do it. I will say though that I do like the idea of allowing more people to enjoy a lettered book. If I ever decided to run 52 copies, it would not be an easy decision to make.

Anyone know the approximate shipping costs of the gift edition to Europe? I'm contemplating getting a copy after missing out on the limited...

I suggest you make up your mind....there are only ten copies left.

Looks like there are only 4 Gift Editions left now!!

I for one... hope you do not. But the choice is of course yours to make!

Camelot did have a copy/s and did I see one list on DRP also?

Was the limitation number of the Misery gift edition ever stated? Just curious what it will be (if it is the same, that is) for future publications (I'm not interested in Misery, but potentially very interested in future Suntup editions).

Saw a note on Facebook that the artist edition is now sold out.

Thanks. 1250 is good; I'll have a shot at those (quite competitive for the other editions).

I too favor 26 over 52 but the real key to me is what you are producing. I really hate publishers that put on a new dust jacket and a 'pretty box' call it lettered and charge ++++$$$$.
The lettered edition has to be unique, extra features, extra value, additional art & copy etc....otherwise why bother. For instance, to me, there is no such thing as a "lettered Cujo" they are all the same numbered or lettered who cares? Why on earth would you pay more for the exact same thing because it has a letter?
