I read in this post on Brandon Sanderson's blog today that he has signed and personalized hardback (at least I assume that's what "harback" is supposed to mean) copies of his first published novel Elantris for sale here. Elantris is harder to find in hardcover now than any of his newer books in the Mistborn series. I'd love to get one but I already promised not to buy any more books until The Born Queen comes out toward the end of next month (having already ordered Joe Abercrombie's Before They Are Hanged from Amazon the moment I heard it was in stock already - and added Sanderson's The Well of Ascension to the order because one must get free shipping when ordering from Amazon).
Sanderson also mentioned several items of interest on his previous blog post. He put up artwork for the new paperback copy of Mistborn: The Final Empire (which is supposed to come out in September with a coupon for the third and final book in the series). The cover image says it's only $4.99 in the U.S. and $5.99 in Canada so that's not bad at all. I like the picture of Vin, but I still think the cover on the hardcover copy of Mistborn: The Final Empire is much nicer. He also wrote that Hero of Ages, the final book in the trilogy, is up on Amazon for pre-order
now (the release date is October 14), and he shared some thoughts on the fifth Wheel of Time book since he has been rereading the series.So much exciting news! I really want one of those copies of Elantris now... but must be good!

I was thinking about ordering the book from Sanderson's site as well. However, a quick check on Amazon shows the Elantris and Mistborn HC's selling for 5.99. It's true, they aren't signed, but they are pretty darn cheap. Just thought you might like to know. Take care.
Thanks, I actually came across that yesterday a few hours after posting that and decided to go for the cheap one. (I already have a signed copy of Mistborn, after all.) I talked my fiance into ordering it for me, but they shipped his books and didn't ship Elantris.
