Just watched that unboxing video Brian. First time since you posted it back in 2017. Brought back a lot of memories. I sure went to town on that portfolio! But it was all worth the effort.
Just a heads up to some Red Dragon customers. We ran out of bookmarks for some inexplicable reason, so if your box is missing either a red or black bookmark, or possibly both, or if it's missing the red premium envelope (Numbered orders only), then do not fear. I'll be going through those that were missed, and will mail them out to you as soon as possible.

Wow, that goes back. Enjoyed watching the video. Cool to see the Lettered especially since I don’t have that one.
I noticed your EOTD bookmark was with the promotional materials rather than with the portfolios. Perhaps that’s why some of us don’t have the EOTD bookmark.

The portfolios are fabulous. The real credit goes to Paul and David for putting this together. The portfolios are really the culmination of the whole Dragon Rebound to Suntup Editions saga. It's quite a story.
Thanks everyone for the positive comments.
Jeff, us unboxing types have a lot in common. We both like good books, good beer and good shut your mouth.
It's funny watching the video now. I notice all of my mistakes. Like I should have taken the Palladini book out and showed the signature and a bit more about it. I also didn't know to hold the phone sideways.
Near the end, my friend started frantically pointing to the phone/camera. It turns out it wasn't fully charged when I started, and it takes a lot of juice to capture video. That's why I kind of rushed the ending.
Overall I was happy with my first attempt at an unboxing.

I know it was not your intent Brian, but the video makes me feel like an idiot that I did not get the numbered version. There were still some available but I had very little knowledge about Paul, DR and what would become Suntup Press. But it's still a great video.

"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
I love the Paul Suntup signature. That is fantastic! Thanks to Paul for the heads up about the possibility of missing book marks or envelopes. Although when mine arrive I probably would have been so excited to see the books it would have taken me a while to realize anything was missing!! I can’t wait for this delivery!
Out for delivery!!
Mine is still showing tomorrow That's OK. I can wait one more day.
