Does anyone have (or has anyone seen) both the FS and Suntup editions (any state) of Stranger in a Strange Land? If so, which do you prefer and why?

>1 ultrarightist: I own both (numbered Suntup). I prefer the FS edition. I like the cover and the illustrations more. Which one you choose is a matter of your own personal taste. They are both handsome well made books. I also prefer the FS edition of Starship Troopers. I'm giving the Suntup editions to my children (now adults).

I have both (the Artist Gift Edition for Suntup) and also prefer the FS edition. To me the illustrations suit the book much better, and I rather like the cover, too. Suntup often puts a lot of thought into their books, but this one was not really up to par to many of their other titles in that regard. FS did a much better job in my opinion. That being said, they're both high quality (binding, slipcase etc.).

Any more thoughts on these editions, including Starship Troopers?

Any word on whether Folio or Suntup will publish The Moon is a Harsh Mistress?

I wish there was. Since it was mentioned in one of the FS prefaces I'd really hoped they would also publish The Moon is a Harsh Mistress. It's another one he gut a Hugo for, and for good reason.
