The price would be a lot higher for a lesser known (and less loved) sequel, so there would have been a LOT more copies still available had the specs matched the first book. And there are already a lot of copies still available!

Didn't even notice that, but it surprises me too! Wonder why... Definitely less fanfare/bells and whistles with the production for this sequel book when compared to what Paul did with the first one but obviously Charlie is a much more famous book for a variety of reasons.
I noticed that this edition is less expensive than what Suntup has been publishing in its classic / artist editions over the last couple of years.

I am actually a bit surprised that the trim size is not the same as Charlie. I would have thought he would size them the same as it is a direct sequel.

A pass for me, but it does look very nice and in a perfect world, I would love to have a copy. Just too many other books recently and coming soon that I need to budget for first. Maybe on the aftermarket up the road...

Like everyone has mentioned, I think the production is going to look great, but I must admit I was a little disappointed not to see more bonus content related to the story itself, especially to flesh out the page count. It would have been great to have some additional story notes from Joe Hill or his reflections on the story all these years later.
Moreover, I thought it would have been interesting to include some essays about the journey to becoming a feature film or perhaps something from one of the actors in the film, such as Ethan Hawke, explaining his journey to becoming the grabber. Even some movie stills would have been neat, too.
And, with a sequel movie being made, how cool would it have been to get a sequel story from Hill to include along with this one? Oh well, my wallet could use a bit of a break anyway!
I hope everyone that does pick up a copy loves it!

I do agree that this will be a beautiful book for sure.

While I love me some Joe Hill and while I'm sure the production will look great, $155 for a 46-page short story is an easy pass for me. Will be happy just reading the story again in my LE copy of 20th Century Ghosts!

Same. Perhaps I’ve become too jaded as a collector, but a limited reprint of a story I already have in a nice deluxe, signed volume just holds no lure. I passed on FAWN, and will pass on this one. For the more ardent Hill collector, I’m sure this’ll be a book they’ll love since, as we all know, Suntup does beautiful work.

I'm not familiar with the June books but April and May are all sound guesses. If those are the books I will certainly be interested in what Paul comes up with on the design of The Black Phone.
Originally posted by JeremyM View PostMy guesses:
April - 'The Black Phone' - Joe Hill
May - 'Charlie and the Great Glass Elevator' - Roald Dahl
June - 'Cyteen' by C. J. Cherryh or 'Where Late the Sweet Birds Sang' by Kate Wilhelm
