Agreed. It is amazing. These small specialty presses seem to able to sell very limited editions without too much trouble. I know that Centipede and Subterranean also do the same sort of very limited runs and always seem to move them without problem. My collecting is always restricted to the books under $100. Can't go near the lettered or numbered copies, except in my dreams.:wink2: -- Al
I have become a buyer of the 'lower end' Suntup editions, to a limited degree, meaning I don't buy everything, just what I like. I have obtained I Am Legend at a very reasonable price on the secondary market and I contracted to buy Fahrenheit 451 and 1984 from the publisher at issue price. F-451 arrived today and is a beautiful production, as is I Am Legend. I have had to say no to Red Dragon as it is just too much money on the secondary market. Keep in mind, Suntup usually does it's books in 3 classes; a lettered edition (26 copies); a limited numbered edition (usually in the 250 copy range); and what they call the Artist's Limited Edition (usually 1000 copies). The third class, the one with 1000 copies, are the ones I buy. Simply can't go near the other 2 classes as they are just astronomical in price. At any rate, they are beautiful productions and I am thrilled I have been able to purchase a few of them. -- Al
Very neat that you got the 2 editions of Red Dragon. They are such gorgeous productions. On the subject of their issues selling out so rapidly, Suntup has started to expand their numbers, at least on the Artist editions. Back in June, when I ordered 1984, all 3 versions sold out rapidly. Now I see that the Artists edition has become available for sale again, which can only mean that they have expanded the issue, although I note that the issue states 1000 copies, which is what I thought it was to start with, so I am a bit confused as to it's availability again. Perhaps the initial offering was less than a 1000 and I just don't remember. At any rate, 1984 is available, presently. -- Al
