Very nice unboxing! And that ARC looks great.
(I'm always impressed by people in videos who can just talk off the cuff, and be both informative and entertaining. I have to prepare a *lot* before I can speak publicly, otherwise I pause for long periods choosing my words, or repeat myself in an endless ramble. You did really great).

I haven't seen the S/L announced anywhere yet, and although I'm sure there's probably one in the works you never know ... so I'd like to throw the new Ready Player Two by Ernest Cline into the mix for the Suntup treatment. Go get it Paul! (no scratch-n-sniff required for this one)

Does anyone have a current sale info on Lettered HOHH, and limited The Road?

That's what I thought too, but I've been waiting and so far no announcement. I just figured it doesn't hurt to throw this out there; for all I know Cline wasn't happy with SP or the RP1 edition for whatever reason (I like it) and is looking for a publisher ... which would be an awesome opportunity for Suntup. And wow, what he might be able to do with a double set of RP1 & RP2!I expect Sub Press would do the limited edition of RP2 since they produced RP1 (there’s also a signed Easton Press edition of RP1), but a Suntup set of the books would be pretty great.

I thought I saw a comment on FB from Bill saying that they will be doing or trying to do RP2. But that's little more than a seed to grow a rumor. I can't find the comment and I don't even know what FB group it was in. But I do have a good memory and it's usually truth-adjacent. Usually.
2500 for Lettered HOHH, is list price. I’m going to shoot for a bit more than that. I think I’m going to ask less than our friend on eBay at 4300, and more than list. I’m thinking 3750.
I’d be happy with 1100 for The Road.
Please DM if interested. Feel free to check out my seller feedback at eBay for insight as to how I treat my books and customers. My eBay name is ruderabbit. https://www.ebay.com/usr/ruderabbit?...p2047675.l2559
I will make the start of the sale official tomorrow, so I can get home from work, and get pictures to add to the post.

HERETIC!!!Perhaps an unpopular opinion, but given the choice of Suntup or SubPress doing RP2, I'd prefer the latter. SubPress did a fine job of RP1, and they are masters at maintaining consistency of design across volumes in a series.

I'm totally joking. Like I said above, I like the SubPress RP1 and am looking forward to RP2 but IF, for some reason, they're not publishing it and the S/L rights are available then I think Paul could knock it out of the park. The combo RP1/RP2 idea could even be shelved for a 10th or 15h anniversary edition ... give everybody something to look forward to.
Honestly I just hope the story doesn't suck. RP1 was a rare one for me in that I absolutely loved both the book and the movie; is RP2 going to be an Aliens, or is it going to be a Grease 2?

Sure, if SubPress couldnt do it, then I’d love Paul to have the opportunity.
I would just prefer the books in a series to be done by the same publisher, if that publisher does it well, rather than change publishers mid-series.
