I'm not a huge Vonnegut fan, but I do like 'Slaughterhouse-five' quite a bit, and the design and production details are really nice, so I'll look to pick this up.

I was also surprised to see the limitation at 1000 copies, which seemed a bit high for this particular title, given those three reasons listed above. That said, while I can't precisely recall if 1000 AEs is the new standard AE limitation or not, I assume Paul did it for consistency's sake. Were I to hazard a guess, this one might be sticking around for sale a while, but time will tell. For me, I did pass on it, no regrets, but I'm sure those who opted for a copy will be very pleased.

Plus I just bought the Gormenghast set from Folio, so my wallet hurts...

Sales seems to have levelled off around 300 copies, so plenty of time for second and third thoughts.

That or The Left Hand of Darkness by Ursula Le Guin have been the guesses that I have seen most frequently. Is it horrible that I haven't read anything by Vonnegut yet? Feel like I have heard the name my whole life but have never gotten around to actually reading anything by him. Same for Le Guinn. I know that each of these books are considered seminal works in their fields which does make me want to give them a try at some point. Just not sure if Suntup is the avenue I will take to remedy that. Perhaps someone will be able to sway me or there will be something in tomorrow's announcement that will push me toward the purchase.
