Suntup Editions - All Books

[Ben Staad]

Random thought/comment. I really like Suntup Editions however at the price point I don't think I will continue purchasing their A/E's. I have been thinking on this awhile and I value an authors signature. I'm sure there will be some exceptions to this for me however living authors A/E editions, unsigned, will likely be a pass for me going forward.

SK would be the exception.

The rumors were that the author was not happy that he had been forced to write Hannibal. The production company forced his hand in stating that they would have someone else write the story if he would not as they had the rights to the characters. He purposely wrote it with an ending they would not be willing to use. Sure enough the movie completely ignores to ending from the book, it simply did not happen. The primary complaint is that events occur that are too out of character. While I understand that, I also think the author set it up well enough to explain the dramatic shift. I finished this book on a flight home from Salt Lake City and I think I actually laughed out loud when the twist was revealed.

This was the case for Hannibal Rising (Dino de Laurentiis even admitted to it) but not the case with Hannibal. With Hannibal they were constantly asking for a sequel but he wasn't forced into doing it and he was able to do it at his own pace (which is why it took so long).

As for the ending, they would have used it had Jodie Foster not complained. Then when they did change it for her she decided not to do it anyways.

Just received my AGE copy of The Collector. Another top-notch production by Suntup! I truly dig the slipcase color/material. It really matches the cream colored book-cover well. Read this book years ago and can't wait to give it another go now that I have this wonderful edition!

I have more prints than I have frames and wall space for. Most of my frames are an inexpensive version from Michaels with the intention of swapping prints out, but let's be honest, that has never happened. I have some professionally framed stuff, but it's only original art work.

However, I did pick up these frames (get them a little wider than your prints) which we have a variety of prints on the wall hung with AND we've actually swapped them out since they're fairly simple to do. One thing that has made life easier, and I think it takes up less space, is that I started storing as many of my prints flat as I could. I bought a portfolio which works really well. I have three of them for all of our prints of varying sizes.

I do own three of the CD Doubleday Years prints that in all honesty, I should have never bought. I have no idea what to do with them. Also own Suntup's Eyes of the Dragon prints, which I also don't know what to do with, BUT they did allow me to get Misery so they definitely earned their price.

Thanks for those ideas! Really appreciate it.
