"A real limited edition, far from being an expensive autograph stapled to a novel, is a treasure. And like all treasures do, it transforms the responsible owner into a caretaker, and being a caretaker of something as fragile and easily destroyed as ideas and images is not a bad thing but a good one...and so is the re-evaluation of what books are and what they do that necessarily follows." - Stephen King
First off, Simon that was supposed to be a secret! This cracked me up.
And secondly, no doubt! I better be very careful what I leave in the frame when I do those broadcasts. BTW, that red article of clothing is in fact a Mister Rogers sweater. The reason it's on the desk is because I have not figured out how to wash it. The instructions are a little complicated for my simple undomesticated brain. Something about hand washing and not tumble drying! Um, okay. Not sure I have time to hand wash my clothes in between making books. And no tumble drying!? Wait, I do remember as a child we had a clothes line with wooden pegs. I wonder if I could buy one of those. So anyway, it has been sitting there for some time, but I'd really like to wear it.
Wanted: Human skin edition of The Book of the Dead. Will accept PC copy.
I knew you’d come to the rescue! I think dry cleaners will be the best option.
I hope everybody reads the new email news letter from Suntup. Some good news in there for some people. Plus it's under the Blog post on the Suntup site.
Slowly upping the numbered S\L to 350 to give more people a chance.

Looking for Suntup Brother ARC and Suntup Seed ARC
I also really like the one copy per household rule. It’s a great way to ensure that the extra copies will go into the hands of individual collectors, direct from the publisher.

Yea, there were at least two books that allowed people to buy more then one copy. I know people might want two so one could be a gift, but the limit of one means more people will have
a chance, like you say Peter.

I was happy to get my first 2 books from Suntup that I ordered directly from Suntup. But they both arrived with some problems. Let me know if I'm being too nitpicky because that could be the case as well
Here's pics of Brother:
Pics of dinged I Am Legend slipcase:
Not if the shipping box was the problem or the books were like this anyway.
The box looks like it got smashed in somewhat. I was expecting the box with the foam fitted padding like others have got. I don't know if that's reserved for certain orders or not. Did anyone else have this issue with Brother?
It was hell's season, and the air smelled of burning children
It's hard to tell how deep those creases are on Brother but I'll say that mine looks very similar. I think it's a natural consequence of having the rounded headband - the pages are somewhat "pinched" in on the first and last signatures (the section of folded pages).
The line of what is "nitpicky" and not varies pretty widely by collector, and I'll say that I'm on the nitpickier end and Brother doesn't bug me. But that's just me! I do agree though, it's nice to have other people's opinions as a guide, especially a bunch of other folks who have the book...
Got a very nice email from Suntup today
Wanted list:

Again, love getting that "have you moved" email from Suntup. Numbered F451 should be on the way soon .

That’s so cool. Unfortunately, my bookcase is packed to the limit, so I may need to burn some books to make room.
