Missed out on EVERYTHING because I was presenting a meeting yesterday at work.- Every edition looks fantastic. I really don't know which one I like the best, though right now I'm leaning towards the lettered as my favorite. I reserve the right to change my mind multiple times whenever the feeling hits, though.
- Prices are still WAY out of my price range. Even the AE is pretty stinking expensive.
- The new cover art for the AE is fantastic and I'm SUPER bummed that I missed on the print and the paperweight. Both are great, if pricey, and, frankly, I was more excited about those than the actual book, which is a first.
- I'm tempted to enter the lottery for limited or lettered edition if any are available, though I doubt there will be. I'm sure I'll beg off once any are offered, because the prices are rather daunting and DUNE is still on the horizon. My internal battle wages on, though.
- I can't remember if I've actually read the book before. I feel like I have and I have very clear memories of reading at least the first chapter in the library when I was like 11 or 12. I do remember reading Benchley's BEAST when it came out and remember finding it rather boring.

Scored an AE and paperweight, hoping to score a limited tomorrow if any are available. Completely scrolled by the print the first time and missed out. Otherwise, I would have scored that as well. I do have a line (see what I did there) on one aftermarket for at or near cost if I need to go that route.
I've never read the book but seeing the movie as a kid made me fall in love with sharks. I read everything I could get my hands on about them in my early years. I've been waiting for this Suntup treatment since the beginning.

I'm going to have to remove myself from the Suntup mailing list, because every time they publish something that I'm interested in, it's gone before I even click on the link. JAWS and THE EXORCIST are two of my favorite books/films, and I'm kicking myself for missing out on them. JAWS is especially painful, since I don't own a dozen other small-press versions of it, like I do with THE EXORCIST.

I personally really don't understand the appeal of a $150 JAWS paperweight (what do paperweights have to do with Fine Press books?), but- that's what makes collecting interesting. And, while I am also one of those who've actually read the book and found it a bit bizarre and, ultimately disappointing- I would absolutely buy a numbered edition because that book looks great. All of the editions are wonderfully designed, but that numbered particularly. Wonder how many will be left? Any guesses?

You beat me to it. I wanted to share it here for those not on FB. Wendy was so gracious and friendly. Just a wonderful person.

Just received my AGE of "Silence of the Lambs". Another amazing production from Suntup! Love the slipcase and the dustjacket(s). Am so happy that I made this purchase. Have seen the movie a million times but never actually read the book. Am glad that I can finally remedy that and am interested to see if there are any differences between the two.

There are significant differences between the book and the movie. One of those rare cases where I think both are great but they are very different stories. Received my copy today and I did not remember that the dust jacket was double sided. Beautiful book!Last edited by swintek; 08-03-2021, 09:36 PM.
