ÂÂ I didn’t get the Suntup email for this morning‘s release, and was only reminded of KIN by this thread. I take it everyone else got the email…?

Yes, at 9:01 AM.

It's been four years since I purchased a book from Suntup. I have been tempted many times, but I have held strong. However, today's announcement of Kin has broken that streak and one of the first books to make me break my rule of "no duplicates."

I was pretty sure when it came to light that this would be the title for today's announcement that I would buy it, especially with new material. I completely forgot that KPB was doing the artwork, so the one thing that was giving me pause in my determination was going to be if this hit the mark. I clearly should have known better because the artwork looks amazing! All of the editions look great and I wish that I could get a numbered (even if one became available it would be a BIG splurge).

KPB's Kin holds a special place in reading/collecting history as it was one of the first signed limited editions I purchased and it blew me away. I'll be very happy to add the Classic edition to my shelf...and maybe once I do, it'll kick me into overdrive to finally getting around to buying a copy of Guests.

Done. Everything went smoothly this morning and paved the way for me being here for release time.

The World told me, with it's actions, that I should buy this book.

Got my fingers crossed for you!

Release day!

I am stoked but a little sad as well. I have a meeting and then a doctors appointment. The doctors appointment will interfere with the release time.

I've been a huge fan of KIN and KPB and hopefully I will not miss out on this.

Somehow I missed the email with these announcements but it's there.

I would love for that last book to be Don Quixote, but I won't be able to afford any of those editions.

I've never read Don Quixote, but I'm drawn to it for some reason. Loved the documentary Lost in La Mancha which chronicled Terry Gilliam's failed attempt at filming this book. Plus I named my dog Rocinante (okay, she was technically named after The Expanse but it counts.)

I don't like doubles either but I had sent my CD copy to Kealan and it was banged up on the return to me by the USPS. Unless something crazy happens I will be purchasing Suntups edition of the title and happily adding it to my collection.

I'm almost completely in lockstep with your comments in your post. Kin is one of the first books I bought from CD and the first KPB book that I read and I really think that it is completely underrated. I don't do doubles, so if I get the Suntup edition, then I'll probably be selling the CD version. This might be the book to knock me off my non-Suntup train I've been riding. Heck, depending on price, I'd probably splurge on a limited, though I doubt any will be available.

After Kealan's twitter announcement yesterday, I think it's pretty safe to say that April's book is going to be Kin and include the prequel novella that he mentions. As long as it isn't priced too outrageously, I can't imagine that I will pass. Normally, I try to avoid having dupe books, and I do have the CD version of Kin; however, that version is pretty bare bones, and you just know that the Suntup version is going to be sumptuous and include lots of art as well as that prequel novella.

I think Ron has some pretty good guesses. I will likely pass on all of these unless it's KPB in April. I'm guessing it's Clive Barker though.

Thanks for that info! Those aren't bad guesses at all!  Had no idea Of Mice and Men was considered a novella.  Would probably pass on all of these guesses, unless April ended up being something from KPB.

Someone at TDT suggested these, and they all seem to make a fair degree of sense:

April - 'The Hellbound Heart' or something again from Kealan Patrick Burke
May - 'Of Mice and Men'
June - 'Don Quixote'

Always love when we receive the next quarter's announcement email, but man, this time I am completely stumped! Anyone have any guesses...

April: All copies are signed by the author, who happens to also be the artist

May: A classic work of American literature that explores the harsh reality of the American dream, this tragic novella was written by one of the most important and influential writers of the 20th century.

June: An epic masterpiece hailed as one of the greatest works of world literature, All copies are signed by the translator, a preeminent scholar known for the most beautiful and highly regarded translation of the work.
