Suntup Editions - All Books

[Splync]

Ron, I'm also a huge Matheson fan, but I agree about the price. I want to be able to have the budget to afford something like this, but it's just not in the cards. I was also excited about the art print because, beyond King, we rarely get something like this for other horror literature, but $175 is also just too much for me to have on the wall. Like you, envy in me will reign supreme for all those that can afford or willing to spend that much on these items.

I swung for the print. It's more than I should be spending, but I justified it by it being printed on handmade paper from 1982.

They are doing a heavily illustrated slipcased edition of Joe Hill's " "Late Returns" from his last collection. I happened to see it earlier this week when I was randomly looking at their pre-order page. If I recall, I think it was $150. I believe they may have taken down the order page due to being annoyed by early inquiries from non rights-holders (owners of last Hill title from them). I also believe it has a smaller print run than his last SubPress collection too.

Thank you! I will watch for it in case it is something I would be willing to buy.

I did purchase today's offering. What is this Joe Hill offering from Sub Press? Checked their website and reviewed the last month's emails from them and I see no mention of Joe Hill.

I'm with you guys! While envious of those rich enough to buy these sorts of items, my book budget & tastes prevent it. As lavish as the production's usually are, I'm not a big fan of single stories from collections getting the limited treatment. I'm passing on the upcoming Joe Hill story from SubPress for that very reason. Also, there are still so many deserving novels and collections that haven't gotten the limited treatment, and I would rather see publishers focus on those books. Also, much like you, I would much rather put that $250 toward whole/multiple books rather than a single story. In a way, my wallet is very happy that this was the March announcement as it needed a rest after the recent Thunderstorm and PS purchases.

Yeah, I'm passing on that new Joe Hill from Sub Press for the reasons you listed. Lines have to be drawn somewhere and that's okay because not everything has to be for me or my tastes. While neither the Matheson Suntup or Joe Hill Sub Press are hit my collecting preferences, I'm glad they are being produced as I like seeing this variety in productions.

Today's new announcement: BORN OF MAN AND WOMAN. I love Richard Matheson as much as anybody and probably more than most, and was temporarily excited when I thought it was the collection in its entirety, but $250 for a 16-page paper pamphlet? Not in the budget, unfortunately, but I can't help but envy those who pull the trigger on it.

Looks like Rebecca by Daphne du Maurier is today's book. Very nice, but the cost is too rich for my blood. Funny enough, if there was an AGE, I probably would have grabbed it as this is one of those stories that I have always meant to get around to reading.

Same. I was ready to click Buy for the AGE but saw there wasn't one. More money for tools and wood!

I got the ebook a while ago meaning to read it before the Suntup edition came out, but never got around to it. I'm not into the gothic theme at all, but I'll give it a shot at some point. No way I'd pay for a Numbered Suntup, though.

While I don't have a 'no duplicates" rule, I do try and evaluate my need for any potential duplicate books, especially at this price point.

Needless to say, I didn't buy it (I do have the SubPress version) - plus I just dropped $200 on a SubPress pre-order the night before.

Congrats to those who got one.

Congrats!

I went for the Classic Edition, which I see is sold out this morning.

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