Suntup Editions - All Books

[RonClinton]

I received my AE copy of Matheson's BORN OF MAN AND WOMAN today, and while my copy has an issue that I may have to contact Suntup about, it's a beautiful-looking reprint of a book I'm thrilled to finally have, and that supplemental material really looks intriguing...can't wait to dive into it and revisit Matheson's wonderful short fiction.

I think it has for anything other than the very high end items. I have a number of A/E's (and similar) that I'd like to move but I'm holding off on listing any of them right now.

I saw that same very recent auction sale of THE FOG and was similarly surprised and dismayed. My eBay sales (still trying to trim down the collection a bit) have been equally soft (or altogether quiet). It does feel like things have become progressively less…enthusiastic.

Announcement from Suntup regarding The August and September releases:

Update to Our August Announcement Schedule

We wanted to inform you of a small change to our announcement schedule for this quarter. The book we had planned to announce in August is not as far along in production as we had anticipated. In light of that—and as part of our ongoing efforts to better align announcements with our production timeline—we’ve made the decision to postpone its announcement until next year. As a result, there will be no new book announcement in August. This adjustment means that owners of the Numbered edition of Ratman’s Notebooks will receive matching rights to the September title, which we anticipate will be a particularly popular release. A limited number of Ratman’s Notebooks are still available, so if you’re interested in securing rights to the September book, this is a good opportunity to do so. Thank you for your continued support as we strive to bring each book to you with the care and attention it deserves. Plus an Upgrade to Ratman's Notebook: Upgraded Materials on Ratman’s Notebooks Numbered Edition In response to feedback from our collectors, we’ve made the decision to upgrade the spine material on the Numbered edition to genuine goatskin leather. This change preserves the spirit of the original design while offering a material that better aligns with the expectations of our collectors.

Maybe these results are partly to blame for a softening of the market. I don't know quite what it's like at the publisher level, but aftermarket sales have been incredibly soft. I saw Centipede's edition of The Fog go for $133.50 on eBay, which is a very low price for the edition. I've been seeing this on multiple books, though, and not just on Centipede. Maybe these $125-$175 price points that have increasingly become the norm is starting to wear on some collectors, stretching their budgets too thin and forcing them to skip out on various purchases.

Looks like 50% of Artists Editions remain, and a 1/3 of the Numbered. Really a shame this one isn’t prompting more sales from those who haven’t read RATMAN’S NOTEBOOKS, to give it a chance…it’s really a terrific read and deserves a new generation of readers to appreciate that fact.

Camelot Books will definitely have AE copies. And I don't think this book will sell out anytime soon, sadly.

Oh no. I thought there had been an improvement.

Same. Very sorry to hear that's apparently not the case.

Also, Kim isn't currently working due to her health issues. Be sure to email the general email address for Camelot, as Tony is currently running the whole show.

This is the first one in a long time I'm really thinking about purchasing. Email Kim and see if she will be receiving any.

[Ben Staad]

Thanks. I was looking on the A/E page only.

Currently appears on the main page for the book, after the Lettered and before About the Author.

Man, this is one Suntup offering that I really, really want to pull the trigger on. Money is incredibly tight right now, so I don't know if I can swing it. Kinda hoping Camelot will be offering some copies so I won't have to worry about payment until it is released.

Ratman's Notebooks. A/E $135.00. Not a bad deal for a slipcased book.

I missed the where the ribbon bookmark is shown.

Not a surprise, given the hint, but guess I called it, and I couldn't be more pleased about this one. It's a very special novel to me, and as mentioned earlier in this thread I'm just beyond thrilled that it's getting the deluxe treatment. I never consider the Numbered editions from Suntup, but this one gave me serious pause. Ultimately, I still went with the GE as I tend to prefer (as is almost always the case) the aesthetic of the GE over the Numbered, but I did snag one of those ribbon bookmarks just to commemorate the release of this special book with something extra...pretty cool, for me, that an extra just happened to be offered with this particular title.
