Ron, I share your excitement, though I haven't pulled the trigger yet. As a fellow Matheson enthusiast, I really want this book, but so far in January we've had Best of Weird Tales: The 1920s at $225, Shadowland by Straub at $295--both of which I purchased--an upcoming, unannounced lettered from Thunderstorm at $300+, Hive by Curran was announced today by Weird House and I was hoping to get this one but looks unlikely, and, finally, this title. I want it all, but something's gotta give. Hive is an easier pass, but still leaves me with around $1000+ of books in January alone.And this a little over three weeks past Christmas. Brutal.
I will say that the lettered Born of... is now a grail of mine. I doubt I'll ever be able to snag one, but how I'd like that on the shelf.
I am also very surprised--yet happy as it helps give me to more time to think--that it hasn't sold out yet. It seems like maybe a little softening of the market is happening because I'd think that this type of genre title from a widely-known and celebrated author produced by a press like Suntup would sell out in 24 hours easy. Yet there are still like a third of the copies available. Maybe everybody's feeling the January pinch like I am.

Even the art's fairly good. Can’t wait to have this in hand…as a Matheson enthusiast, I’m not sure I’ve ever anticipated a Suntup arrival more.And this a little over three weeks past Christmas.

Yep. It's a gorgeous looking book. Typically that style of artwork is not my preference however, for this edition, I like it a lot.
Congrats to all who pick this one up.

Congrats! It's a pretty sweet looking volume. Be interesting to see how quickly it sells out or if it does at all.
'Course, as always, there's no telling these days what will ignite a rapid sellout, though at this point, an hour in, it is nearly 50% sold out.

Just received my Suntup "Scratch & Dent" sale items. Didn't notice any defects when eyeballing the items but will have to look more closely once I get home from work. Pretty impressed by how quickly these packages arrived.

Eyed each of them when they were released, but the pricepoints kept me from pulling the trigger. Was able to purchase all three of these for essentially the price that one of them would have cost new.

I picked up "Born of Man and Woman" with the sale. It might have been a foolish purchase because I believe that January is the full collection for Born of Man and Woman, but I couldn't resist getting such a nice looking publication for a reduced price.
As for the quarterly hints, if we're going with the obvious choices:
January is either Born of Man and Woman or The Lottery and Other Stories
February is Treasure Island
March is One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest
