Suntup Editions - All Books

[RonClinton]

It was an easy decision for me to buy it. This book has been on my radar for more than a decade. I have been telling myself that I will read it. . . . it as stayed a book I will get to someday.

Precisely the reason I'll be getting THE GODFATHER next month.

As far as THE MAGUS, I tried reading it many moons ago and didn't get far, though I love THE COLLECTOR. That experience and my dislike of the art and at the price point it's at...the math just didn't work for me this time around.

Anyone jump on today's Suntup announcement? Have never read The Magus but am tempted. The Collector is the only thing that I have ever read by Fowles.

It was an easy decision for me to buy it. This book has been on my radar for more than a decade. I have been telling myself that I will read it. My local library does not have it and I have never purchased a copy so it as stayed a book I will get to someday. I actually know little about the story. Since the first time I read the collector (I believe I have read it four times now) there has been The Magus popping up, often described as Fowles best book. I consider The Collector a classic and it keeps drawing me back in.

This is another pass for me. I hadn't read the book and the price point was a bit much for me. I get this is a massive book but I can't justify the money on an unknown.

It's selling very slowly, I wonder why.

Received my dinged Suntup copy of Blake Crouch's "Dark Matter". Am supper happy with this purchase as you can hardly tell that there was an issue with the book. From what I can see, the only issue is some small creasing in the upper-right hand corner of the first 30 pages of the book. Beyond that, the book and the slipcase are in perfect shape. Feel like I really scored with this one and cannot wait to give it a read. Have only read the 1st book in the Pines trilogy by Crouch so far and loved it; so, I have high hopes for this one!

Could the March book be Lovecraft instead of Poe?

No. The blurb mentions that it's a 19th century writer, and Lovecraft wrote in the 20th century.

Could the March book be Lovecraft instead of Poe?

[Dave1442397]

The consensus so far is:

January - The Magus, John Fowles
February - The Godfather, Mario Puzo
March - An Edgar Allen Poe book

[bsaenz24]

I guess with the right page layout, March could be Poe?? The over-sized Easton Press I have is 800+ pages.

[sholloman81]

Any guesses for the upcoming Suntup publishing schedule? Seem pretty obvious that February will be The Godfather, but, have no idea on the other two.

1) January-This masterwork of contemporary literature was the first novel the author wrote, although it was his third to be published.

2) February- A searing portrayal of a family set in the 1940s criminal underworld, this novel took the world by storm upon its release, selling over nine million copies in two years. Three years after its release, it would be adapted into an iconic film which won the Academy Award for Best Picture.

3) March- Weighing in at over 1250 pages, this is the complete collection of works written by one of the most important and influential American writers of the 19th century, whose stories continue to haunt.

I didn't realize there was an art portfolio.

I kind of ignored the announcement since I got the last two AEs from Camelot (I assume Kim will get one of these for me too - I better check!)

[TacomaDiver]

bigger than "Big Damn Sin City"!

You take that back - them's fightin' words!

I haven't been picking up this series from Suntup, but as usual the editions look fantastic. The portfolio is pretty cool, though I've decided that I'm am out of the market for that type of product. I tried with the Doubleday Years portfolios from CD and I found that they just sit on my shelf. I never opened them up to admire the art or anything.

[RonClinton]

I picked up an AE plus the art portfolio...I don't do art portfolios, but I appreciated that it was smaller (8.5 x 11) so will fit on the shelf, and, most importantly, the fact that it gathered all the artwork from all four editions (which I've all bought in AE) was a nice way to gather the books as a group and pay homage to the four books as a set, as a whole.

Money is tight right now. Daughters wedding a few weeks ago and the holidays and a divorce seem to be impacting my wallet. LOL

Congrats on the former and sorry to hear about the latter.
