Looking for SubPress Lettered::
Angel's Game and Prisoner of Heaven (Zafon)
Ilium (Simmons)
I can tell you that I bought it because I totally wholeheartedly believed in Paul and his mission. Could I afford it? NO. I had never spent this much on anything other than my home! Not even a car... Near $35000 in CAD. We all know now that it was worth every penny but I knew then it was a steal. The lettered selling for $15K for Misery itself... made this all worth while. I do not sell the books.. I keep them. AT first I though I would sell them. Once I started to get them? Nope.... I AM a collector of King and of Paul's work. There is no one out there doing what he is doing. His career is just starting and I love being on the ride with him. Was it a gamble? Not to me... my only issue was how to get the money not whether I should or not.
HELP ME FIND
Insomnia #459
ANY S/L #459
Yep, I found out about Dragon Rebound about a month ago leaving me behind the curve. I also agree that, particularly with the lettered, I'm finding I simply want to keep them. I do have a bookstore, and always list everything even favorites but I'm not sure if I'll let go of the upcoming Rosemary's Baby lettered. I'll probably list it to show it off and set the market super high.

Suntup Misery Lettered + Rights
Suntup Shining 1st Paperback Large Art Print
True. My wife is a graphic designer and she LOVED the type treatment in The Haunting of Hill House. She rarely comments on my addiction. So I take it from her reaction that Suntup is an approved dealer. Still, getting her to agree to buy a lifetime subscription before there's a beautiful book to show her, that's a bridge too far. And even after I've shown her. Which is fair. We don't have "for special" money. Otherwise we'd be living in a Frankie Wright house with a Suntup library, furnished with mid century modern furniture.
I would have been happy just with the Bronze. But I wasn't smart enough to think out ahead.

I guess I wasn't entirely kidding. This just arrived. Let's see what we can do with it for Dragon Rebound.
Bound in rabbit fur? If you sell it at the original price, I’m in!
I'm just going to make one of these. Hoping it ends up with Oy. I read the book. Has a very good lesson in there...
Always love to see a package with that tape arrive! And it's as big as my kitchen counter! Thank you Paul!

Good one George. After sending that email about the boxes being in stock again, there was a run on them and now they are all sold out. More are on order.

Hell yeah it is!Nice looking Archival Folio Box.
See, now the problem is to figure out how to display it (it's a beast) and to really fill it up with more than the prints I have so far (EOTD, DT III, and Desperation, all remarqued) ... good problems to have. Along those lines Paul, I fired you off an email yesterday evening.Good one George.
