Suntup Editions - All Books

[Ben Staad]

I have a total of 4 + 1 which is at the authors place for some illustrations.

Today's TS announcement includes a Chad Lutzke title that I really would like to buy. I'm tempted but it really is bad timing for me.

*Edit. I'm moving my TS comment to the correct thread.

4 for me. 2 thunderstorm 2 ghost story books I've been collecting. Plus all lividian titles from patreon.

I just checked my list for purchased pre-orders, and I now have just one book on it, Suntup's RATMAN'S NOTEBOOKS by Stephen Gilbert. Once that one's in my hands, I'll have no pre-orders floating out there, which is a very good feeling.

Congrats! I'm getting close as well, but a handful are for delayed slipcases so I think it will still be a while before I am clear.

Native Son by Richard Wright. The style is fantastic but these editions are not in my reading or financial wheelhouses.

Agreed. Beautiful books, though.

So Paul saw our conversation about my dinged copy of Moreau and the issues that it had and sent me a $35 Suntup gift cert. Totally unexpected. Just wanted to publicly say thanks to Paul & Suntup for this awesome gesture! Just another reason for me to continue being a huge fan of Suntup!

That's really cool to hear. The very definition of Customer Service.

That's awesome of Paul to do that, and awesome for you to have some Suntup credit to bank for a future purchase! Thank you for sharing this information.

I'm really surprised Suntup sold your Dr. Moreau like that. Were any of those- more egregious than "dings", certainly - noted on the sale page? I'd have pause after that as well. I managed to pick up The Outsiders & Hannibal Rising AE's at bargain prices and they arrived in 2 days, in slipcases with no discernable defects whatsoever. I actually only went to the site after the reminder email that went out and there were quite a few titles and editions left to choose from. Made me wonder what I had missed by not checking it out when it went live.

This story is why I don't pull the trigger on these ding sales. THEN I read Boggle Champion's post about Stepford Wives and smack myself in the forehead for not picking anything up.

Same. I wish I had more of the gambler in me at times like this.

Yeah, you had it backwards, unless noted, all of them included the slipcase. I totally get being hesitant. During a previous Suntup dinged sale, I picked-up the Island of Dr. Moreau, and it was in super rough shape, no slipcase, title page ripped three quarters of the way through, and a few other dings. I got rid of it almost immediately. That purchase gave me pause on this one, but I decided to roll the dice as I really love the art for this edition and have never ready the story before.

I was this close to pulling the trigger on Zombie and Born of Man and Woman. With prices being so high on books across the board now, I just don't know if I have the flexibility in the budget to take the gamble. I think even grab bags are going to be a thing of the past for me.

But congratulations to all who took the risk and got a great copy at a great price!

Received my "dinged" copy of The Stepford Wives and could not be happier with it. I flipped through it, and I have no idea as to why anyone would consider it dinged. I do not see any flaws on the slipcase or book itself, nor do I see any odd markings flipping quickly through the pages. It also does have the signature page. About the only thing I could come up with is that the book was not shrink-wrapped/had been opened at some point. Beyond that, this looks like a new copy to me. Very happy that I rolled this dice on this purchase!

Some books including Stepford Wives were sold at a discount to clear inventory, I think. If there were no red-box warnings on the order page when you placed your order, it would be a regular copy at sale price.

I ordered Stepford numbered, and after ordering the 'dinged' box appeared on the site. I emailed to ask, and my understanding is they sold New copies until inventory was exhausted, then sold the remaining damaged ones at the same price. I received my copy yesterday, and it's a true numbered without defects.

Good to hear. Damn, I should have been braver on this one, would've loved to snag a STEPFORD WIVES on that sale, but (incorrectly) assumed it was missing its enclosure/slipcase since I thought I understood from the email that the books would be missing their enclosure unless it was specified otherwise....starting to think it was the other way around, that they had them unless otherwise indicated.
