What signed copies of books do you own?

 

I only have one:

 

Hardback 1st edition discworld companion signed by Terry Pratchett & Stephen Briggs.

Lottery by Patricia Wood. Just the one, but it's quality. Shortlisted for the Orange prize this year.

[supergran71]

Michael Connolly's The Poet

Joan Collins biography (bought it years ago when I lived in Surrey)

[Echo]

I have a signed copy of The Vampire Armand by Anne Rice. My boyfriend found it in an obscure used book shop and gave it to me, since he knows it's my favorite of hers.

I have 4 signed books:

An Open Vein by J M Warwick (KW) - birthday pressie from Kat

The Runaway by Martina Cole - bargain from Amazon

Breeding Ground & The Taken by Sarah Pinborough - Competition prize here on BCF

My book wasn't just signed, though - there was a personal message from the author, so ner-ner-ner-ner-ner!

[madcow]

Three of mine have personal messages in ner-ner-ner-ner-ner

Wow! A book signed by Pete Best, as a Beatles fan I have to say I'm impressed and a bit jeolous. I'm sure there is a great story behind this acquisition.

Quite a few. Life of Pi, Making Money, a couple of Ian Rankin's, Shadow of the Wind & others.

[Nici]

Raven Hart signed two of her books with a message for me.

[Kate]

How do you manage to get your books signed? I don't have any signed

[Nici]

I won mine in a competition here and when I received them Raven had very kindly written a message in them to me!

[Janet]

I have a signed Joanna Trollope. I bought it for my mother-in-law in a second-hand shop years ago (at least 10) but she already had it. I didn't know it was signed when I bought it.

[Inver]

I have a signed copy of

Tenth Circle by Jodi Picoult (she was on a tour to promote the book and stopped in Aberdeen)

Mums @ Home by Sophie King

[Loopyloo100]

I have a book signed by Pete Best (original drummer of The Beatles)

 

Lucky you that must be well worth hanging on to!

 

How do you manage to get your books signed? I don't have any signed

 

I just went to an advertised book signing and met Terry Pratchett

[Lilywhite]

I have Trudi Canavan, Tess Gerritsen and Kelley Armstrong. Elizabeth Chadwick also signed some bookplates for my collection of her books

[Sedge]

I don't have any signed books at the moment, but E V Thompson practically lives in our local WH Smith, so I'll grab a few autographs next time he's around.

[Kell]

I have another signed book to add to my little collection as Stuart Macbride was at our Posh Club boko group tonight to discuss his latest book (Flesh House). He was absolutely lovely and wrote in my book, "To Kell, Good luck on the thing growing in your tummy..." which made me laugh. Am well chuffed.

Not much of a great story. There was a Beatles Festival in Adelaide in 2004 and he and Julia Baird (John's sister) were guest talkers. They both signed their books afterwards. Nice people. Pete Best wrote my name wrong, even after I spelt it to him. A few months later I travelled to Liverpool to Beatle Week and got to see him play live with his band. Pretty cool!

[KW]

I have 4 signed books:

An Open Vein by J M Warwick (KW) - birthday pressie from Kat

Awwww.

 

I have one signed book by Nora Roberts: HONEST ILLUSIONS, her best book ever.

My book wasn't just signed, though - there was a personal message from the author, so ner-ner-ner-ner-ner!

 

Three of mine have personal messages in ner-ner-ner-ner-ner

 

Yeah, but how many of you have a "Thank You" from the author for the recipe (actually, two recipes) that you posted on his message board, and he actually copied out and tried - and really, really, really, liked them?

 

Jack Whyte posted this on his message board:

Cathy, I have to tell you that my wife Beverley thinks you and I might know each other, perhaps from a previous incarnation in Ancient Eire... There's a very simple reason for that, of course, and I thought I'd write to you and tell you about it.

 

A couple of weeks ago, you posted a few recipes in here , in response to the question of what you would serve me if I were to turn up at your door bearing a bottle of vino and looking to be fed. I was intrigued, and I transcribed them and printed them out, then passed them along to my wife.

 

And so this weekend, when our Clan all arrived in Kelowna on Friday evening, haggard and harried and hungry after driving all day from a variety of points across Western Canada, we served them your "Almost Cabbage Rolls", and they were the smash hit of the Thanksgiving weekend. We scoffed the entire enormous pan of them and would have eaten even more had there been more available . . . which is amusing, considering that Beverley was worried, originally, about where she was going to store the leftovers... But the "smash" hit was soon followed, and came nigh to being eclipsed, by the "mash" hit of Thanksgiving Dinner itself

[Kell]

Most of mine have personal messages in them too.

I have one signed book by Nora Roberts: HONEST ILLUSIONS, her best book ever.

 

I've only read Northern Lights and unfortunately I didn't enjoy it. Do you read a lot of her books and if so what would you consider one of her best books, so that I may give her another chance?
