Suntup Editions - All Books

[Dave1442397]

This is a pretty easy pass for me. While I'd like to read the book, I don't need a $125 edition of it.

I've seen some chat about how this isn't selling out in an hour. I still think that 500 copies in 24 hours is pretty darn good. Honestly, 1000 copies is a whole lot of copies to move title after title. Regardless of the quality of the production, $125 is a big chunk of change for non-diehard collectors.

Paul said he's happy to have books in stock so that newcomers to the site actually have something to purchase.

I didn't go for the latest book either. Like you, if I want to read it, a cheap (or library) copy will do fine.

I agree with Paul's thoughts as it's hard to grow the business if you have don't have any product to sell to new customers.

New announcement schedule posted. I'll start with a guess for the July book - Jaws! Seems almost obvious.

I’d agree, and August seems even more so, with McDowell’s BLACKWATER.

[Ben Staad]

Blackwater for the win in August. Fairly certain on this one.

Not sold on Jaws but it states "Thriller" and "Beach Read" so beyond Jaws I would have no idea.

The last one I have not a clue. Beloved, imaginative, and dark humor. I'm very much drawing a blank when combining beloved and dark humor.

I completely agree that July is Jaws and am excited for that one. I have no idea on the rest. Two observations. I believe this is the first time no book in the Quarter will be signed y the author. I also believe the September release will be the first Suntup release signed by Mr. Suntup.

[Ben Staad]

How about Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas for the September title? Not a fan of the book but I could see this fitting in the beloved, imaginative, and dark humor categories. Thoughts?

The 'Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas' thought intrigues me. Since Paul Suntup is also signing this one I expect that it has special meaning to him. Has he ever mentioned Hunter S. Thompson or the title as having a particular importance to him?

Placing the Suntup 2021 Q3 schedule here so I can refer to it without having to pull the email:

The joy these books bring to you is my reason for making them. Thank you for your love and enthusiasm for these editions. As you know, the opportunity to honor these stories and authors is not one I take lightly, and we have been hard at work on these three titles for well over a year now. I look forward to sharing them with you.

Think I need to retract this guess. It says for all ages.

The 'Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas' thought intrigues me. Since Paul Suntup is also signing this one I expect that it has special meaning to him. Has he ever mentioned Hunter S. Thompson or the title as having a particular importance to him?

The last one I have not a clue. Beloved, imaginative, and dark humor. I'm very much drawing a blank when combining beloved and dark humor.

I'm a bit leery of the last one right now since it states that it is a book for all ages. I rarely do YA/Kids books. Hopefully, it will end up being something that intrigues me. The other two seem more likely to be purchases for me.

[Martin]

Think I need to retract this guess. It says for all ages.

Good catch. Hunter S. Thompson has never been described as 'for all ages'.

[JeremyM]

My guess for Sept is 'Charlie and the Chocolate Factory' - Dahl in general seems to fit the description well, and 'deliciously dark in humor' (emphasis mine) - could fit.

[joejets]

Maybe "Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" for Sept?

[Ben Staad]

Both Dahl and Adams would fit here. Neither of which would interest me personally.
