Thanks for the link, I'll check it out.
I admire your sleuthing skills, but you're off base with this one! There is nothing there about the book I was referencing. And I didn't mean the book was obscure. I meant the paper moth as a clue. Maybe obscure wasn't the right word, but to guess the book as having some sort of connection to that moth is not easy. Although I shouldn't be surprised that it has already been mentioned.
Yes, it's going to be exciting. I always enjoy giving away prizes.
No problem! Good luck!
Speaking of the paper moth, I found a floating display frame on Amazon that fits it pretty well. It's 4.3" x 4.3", for those wanting to find one.
The Suntup extras are always really neat.

I like that display case!
Just out of (greedy) curiosity, how do the giveaway contests on (ugh!) Facebook work?
Do you have to immediately send some kind of response to a trivia question or something like that?
Do you have to have a (yuck!) Facebook membership to participate?
Do bribes work?

Less than two hours from now! I can’t wait!

When Paul has giveaways during his Facebook live events, he sometimes just says something like "the next five comments I see get a prize." Other times, like yesterday, he simply picks a number of random comments made during his live presentation, and those lucky individuals get a prize. I've never seen one with trivia or anything. I haven't personally won anything yet; perhaps I should try a bribe!
Unless I missed something yesterday, I did not hear anything about today's prizes being given away on Facebook. There was a lot of talk about "golden tickets" (from us, not Paul) leading up to this event. I'm kind of wondering if he'll do something like that. Stick tickets in random copies of AEs maybe? Perhaps all preorders win something? Maybe one lucky winner gets a Roman?!? Hard to say with Paul, but we should know in less than an hour!
Hope is a good thing, maybe the best of things, and no good thing ever dies.
Added another copy of the numbered Horns to my collection. Oh how to do love this production.

I have many copies of the same book throughout my collection. Variants for one reason. In the case of Horns, it's one of my all time favorites and the production is gorgeous. This is actually the 5th numbered copy that I've owned. 3 were sold previously to help in acquiring the lettered.

I bought all the artist editions and hired a bunch of people to sort through them for the golden tickets.
It can be difficult to describe Suntup without seeming like a paid sycophant. Suntup is like a damn good publisher that then hires an outside team to come in after the fact to add zippy bells and whistles (prizes, extras, boxes of chocolate, even the tape on the box (I think)) - except Suntup does it all on its own.
Paul - thank you for going full out on all of this, every book; it's such a pleasure, as a bibliophile, to see each thing he does.
You can't be aloof until you advertise.
Why not have more than one copy of the same book?
They look so spiffy all lined up together!

I was quite happy to see this contest was a golden ticket deal and not Facebook giveaways.

So quick question for anyone over at Suntup HQ:
I purchased the AE, but also entered the form in advance to that on the site.
Does that negate your chances with the purchase(s)?
If so, can the form entry be removed?
