Suntup Editions - All Books

[sholloman81]

Any guesses as to August's book, "This epic masterpiece won the author the Bram Stoker Award for Best Novel. Despite what the title might suggest, it would not be his last."? Sounds like the only one that I may be interested in next quarter. I'm sure American Gods will be nice in September but I'm not sure if I will be able to swing the price.

I'm stunned by the $15,000 pricetag on the Roman Numeral edition. Perhaps that's not out-of-line with typical Suntup pricing on those ultra limited top-tier volumes, but, wow. I've been collecting and involved in the small-press scene for 35 years, but I can't even conceive of paying that kind of money for any book, let alone a long prose-poem title like DANTE'S INFERNO. More power to those who choose to and to each their own, etc. etc., but that's just so foreign to me I have a hard time wrapping my mind around that kind of purchase.

That price tag on the Roman Numeral edition is TEN TIMES the amount that I've ever spent on a book. I just don't know if I could ever spend that much on a book. Of course, if I was in the financial situation where dropping $15K on a book was viewed as viewed as only a rather large stretch financially rather than, I don't know, financial suicide and grounds for a divorce, maybe I would drop that amount of money.

Glad for those who picked-up a copy of The Divine Comedy, but it was a hard pass for me. Just not the type of book that I am looking for from Suntup.

I will say that all the editions are incredibly beautiful and it is very clear that a lot of attention and love have been poured into these books. I'm curious to see how it'll sell.

I will also say that this is the easiest "pass" for me ever. I understand the importance of the The Divine Comedy to literature, but I have absolutely no desire to read it.

Congratulations to all who are excited about this edition and get a copy because it does look amazing.

Looks beyond gorgeous.

Caught Suntup's facebook live stream yesterday before the new book announcement. It sounds like this is gonna be a pricey edition.

He mentioned that the community guesses haven't zeroed in on the right book yet. My guess is it's going to be The Odyssey.

Camelot is offering their copies of Butcher Boy & Johnny Got His Gun at 50% off. I already have them but figured I would post here in case someone has had their eye on them in the past.Â

I saw this and have been very tempted to pick up a copy of the AE of The Butcher Boy. It would be a complete impulse buy, so I'm trying to hold off.

Camelot also has copies of the signed 2nd printing of Caitlin Kiernan's From Weird and Distant Shores at $50, which is great price as well.

I was surprised at how many limited and lettered editions were available for sale this past weekend. When was the last time, if ever, that a Suntup lettered wasn't sold via lottery?

I can get behind a new oven - at least that's a fun purchase of sorts. I hated buying a new washer and dryer because it was such a boring purchase.

I kinda liked getting a new washer last year. The old one was from 2007. The new one (LG) comes with an app that tells me when the wash is done, and has some useful cycles. The end-of-cycle music is not loud enough for me to hear it with the washer being in the basement, so the app is handy.

This announcement was an incredibly easy pass. Of Mice and Men is, of course, a classic, but have no desire for an expensive edition on my shelf and $225 (!) for the AE killed any potential impulse buying.

Honestly never read it, but there was no way I could justify the cost to have one.

[TacomaDiver]

LOL. I still spread some cash around as well but it's being more carefully guarded these days. To point I just splashed down some bucks for a new oven this morning.

I can relate to this sentiment, of course I did just drop $240 at SubPress on two LEs so maybe I don't feel it as strongly as you.

Although, I am in the process of finishing the construction of my custom bookshelves in the basement (I cannot wait for all of that to come together so I can show it off. For someone who's learned everything he knows about woodworking from YouTube, and last took a shop class in the very early 90s, I'm pleased with how things are coming together.)
