For Fans of Signed Books

DreamHaven Books currently has a fantastic selection of signed books by authors who have recently appeared there. These writers include Sarah Monette, Lois McMaster Bujold, Alastair Reynolds, Patrick Rothfuss, Charles de Lint, Jim Hines, Kelly McCullough, Christopher Moore, Elizabeth Moon, and Lyda Morehouse. If you scroll to the bottom of their home page you can see the complete list of authors who have recently signed books. It's a very tempting selection.

Also, if you are in the area (Minneapolis, Minnesota), Lois McMaster Bujold will be answering questions and signing books there on April 22. I'm very sad it's so far away; authors rarely do book signings where I live.

New Signed Malazan Books!

Last week I received a personalized copy of Midnight Tides and an autographed copy of The Bonehunters I bought from from The Signed Page, one of my favorite recent discoveries. Both are first edition hardcovers. I was psyched, especially since even though I have a few autographed books, I didn't have any that are personalized. Authors don't come to Maine for signings very often since it's not a very populated area.

There are still a few signed copies of both Midnight Tides and The Bonehunters available on The Signed Page (although not very many). Also, there are some signed copies of The Bonehunters trade paperback available for only $5. That's much cheaper than buying a copy of the book in a bookstore, making it a great deal. I almost wish I'd seen that one before ordering my hardcover copy (almost, since I have the whole series in hardcover so far).

Go to Carol Berg's Site and Win a Free Book!

I saw on Carol Berg's website the other day that she is holding a drawing for a free autographed book of your choice! All you have to do is send her an email with the subject "drawing" and you're entered. I thought maybe you had to supply your address or which book you would like to receive if you won, but Carol responded to my email (I'm such a dork - that made my day!) and said that sending the email was all that was required.
