You know, really surprised that over 11 hours after it was announced, the book hasn’t sold out yet. Â I mean 750 copies is A LOT, especially at that price point, but I was sure it would be gone by noon PST.

That’s exactly my situation, and I’m sitting here trying to figure out what to do as I watch the copy-count tick down. That McCammon signed the AE is a definite plus; the $175 price tag is not. I’ve gotta decide soon, I’m sure it’ll sell out within the hour. Maybe I need to look at my Sub Press edition, see if I can just appreciate what I already own.
EDIT: Okay, well, looking at the Sub Press edition helped. I think with a lower limitation of 474 vs. 750, art that is, to my eye, just as good if not better than the Suntup, and the oversized format, I'm going to stick with the Sub Press edition only. It pains me to pass on this Suntup edition, given my affection for the book and author, but viewing again the awesomeness of the Sub Press edition helps. I also have a personalized trade HC 1st of the book, so a triple redundancy would really violate my red line of no duplicate/variant editions. Like Sock Monkey, if I didn't have the Sub Press edition, though, I'd be all over this new Suntup offering.

Well I've looked again at the art and it's just not for me. I typically like David Palumbo but this looks very much like computer generated stuff which loses something for me.Â

But still, a McCammon book getting the Suntup treatment just might be enough for me to break my rule. )

I knew this would be most likely be a pass for me due to already owning the oversized Sub Press edition, but I will say without a doubt that these are some very beautiful editions. If I was in the market for one, I would be all over one of these. As I already have a limited of the book and I'm not a Suntup collector, the $175 price point made this a very easy pass. Congrats to those who get one, though. I'm sure they will look good on the shelf.

Well it is Boy's Life.
In all honesty I do not like the art or the price point. I am passing on this.
Hugely disappointing but good for my bank account.

I 100% understand. I don't have the money for this purchase but almost feel like it's a must have for my collection.
If this happens to be anything other than McCammon of I just hate the look of it it will be a little of a relief. $$ is tight.

In a way, it would make my day if it ends up being another book so I don't have to make a decsion.

If you're not on Facebook, I can help you on that front and my commission is much less than eBay's. ;-)
