Tommy, it sounds like you're a reader who loves to linger over a sentence or paragraph that moves you. That's my kinda reader.

Yeah, only problem is my eyesight is bad and getting worse so very limited reading time. I wish I had read a lot more in life.

Cormac is worth the eye strain!

I am so pumped for next week. Period.

I suffered a detached retina a couple of years ago (I was only 35 at the time so VERY YOUNG for those types of things) and my reading isn't what it used to be either, sadly. Audiobooks have become great friends of mine.

You and me both. I haven't read his works and I have seen The Road and the Master Piece No Country for old men but that's it.
I need to finish more other stuff then I will did into more of his stuf. But I am really excited about announcement next week.

I’m really sad there is no AE because chances of getting another edition are probably at zero.

I'm sorry that happened to you. Mine was a birth condition that makes my eyes jut back and forth with no control over them. Until I was 17, I had to hold my head at an angle so that they wouldn't "dance" as the doctors put it (they used me as a teaching tool for some of the potential new eye doctors). Eye surgery is not fun. I had black demon eyes for days and couldn't go outside for weeks because of the Sun. But I was able to hold my head straight after that. They still dance but only when I look to my right. Throws my balance off (stairs and ladders are not my friends and people love to watch others run into things so I've helped spread joy in the world by injuring myself many times, that's something I guess) and also I can instantly and out of nowhere have tears streaming down my face, they told me that would be a side effect and boy they weren't kidding!. I hate audiobooks, I keep trying but ugh, I miss reading big thick good books.

Wow, that sounds so traumatic -- more so for someone so young at the time. I wish there was an alternative you enjoyed though. Audiobooks have been such a saving grace for me. Sometimes I prefer them....

[Patrick]

Tommy, sorry to hear about that issue and how it affects your reading. I agree with Dolan, audiobooks are great. People think they are easier than reading paper but for complex writing, I had to work to make the adjustment and still do at times. They command more active attention than some may realize. Hope this option works out for you when needed.

[Tommy]

Thank you, gentlemen. If I want to keep up with Mr. King (especially since he's "retired" now) I may have to start with his audiobooks and go from there....

[MikeDuke]

Damn Tommy. Very sad to read about your condition. I don't remember but when I was sick at 9, I was blind for a while. But my sight is fine now. I know the struggle of balance though. You probably read it, but read the first post in my thread. It explains what happened to me. I wish you well my friend.

[Tommy]

Thanks for sharing Mike, going blind is one of my biggest fears and I've been warned I might lose more sight but hopefully not go completely blind. I'm glad you came through that.

Recieved notification on Feb. 26th that Heinlien artist and numbered were complete and on March 4th that LTROI numbered and 1984 numbered were complete. Any idea when these are due to ship? Extremely excited for these. Specially LTROI.

I don’t believe I sent an update saying LTROI Numbered was complete. At least not the bookbinding. The cases, yes. Those are done. I’m waiting on the books. These are roughly 4-6 weeks out for completion.

For the Heinlein AE’s, the books are finished and have been for a while, but we have been waiting on the slipcases to arrive so that the books can be inserted. That has now happened and the process of building boxes, inserting foam, etc. will begin soon. These will ship in roughly 4-5 weeks, hopefully sooner.

The Heinlein Numbered editions are completely done and would have shipped this week, but we ran into a snag with the cases on Starship. We have to remake the whole run because I wasn’t happy with the fit. So these are primed for shipment next, as soon as the second batch of cases come in. I’m driving the case maker hard to get them finished as soon as possible. I hope to ship these books in 3-4 weeks.

1984 Numbered books and cases are complete and the custom foam has already been ordered. I plan to ship this one immediately after the Heinlein books.

The way I see this going is that we will be shipping the Heinlein Numbered first, then the Heinlein AE’s, followed by 1984 Numbered, and then possibly LTROI Numbered.

In the middle of all this, there is also the Auctioneer and Scanner AE’s which are almost complete, as well as the Lettered Auctioneer.

Thanks a lot, Paul. What a great run down. Really appreciate it. We are all very excited.

So sorry for all you’ve endured. Here’s hoping you’re through the worst.

Awesome! Thanks for the update, Paul!!

[MikeDuke]

All the stuff you mentioned above sounds great to me Paul. Too bad about the case though, but these things happen. Can't wait to continue to fill up my Suntup bookshelf.

Thanks Jeff, have to spread Rep around before I can give you more!

RF, hopethis is ok to post here...

I have loved The War of the Worlds since i was a young boy of 10 years old.

Getting a signed limited last year was an amazing achievement, including the extras showing Jeff Waynes art from his musical version.

This was the start of my love of War of the Worlds, that really captured my imagination, played by my teacher Keith Gardnar on his tape cassette over 4 lessons.

Loved it.

Anyway, i have been searching for a signed version of the musical to accompany/complete my Suntup HG Wells collection.

Today I received an email from the War of the Worlds Immersive Experience, which I am attending later this year, and they are selling a signed litho print of the album, signed by Jeff Wayne.

I wanted to share how happy I am at ordering one, and add the link for those who may want one to accompany your book. 250 only available, and honestly, this has made my day. I have been planning to stalk Jeff Wayne so i could send my extra part of the book for a signature, but get this for £30.

Very happy.

BIG WEEK for Paul and Suntup. I just want to take a second and wish him and crew a successful release of what is considered to be a masterpiece in literature (thats if we are right of course in our guess... haha). I know how excited many of us are, so I cannot imagine how pumped he is too share this release. Congrats my friend!!!!!!

I couldn't agree more with you, if it is what i think it will be....Than it will be huge for Paul, Suntup Editions and us all.
Just a couple of days until the big reveal and i do wonder about who the author of the introduction will be. 🙃

[MikeDuke]

Chances this makes it to Sat? Not great IMHO. It will be a staple in the ongoing Suntup Library.

Going to agree. This is such a massive accomplishment. Anyone who appreciates American letters will look at this book as a crown; rightfully so.
