A quick mark

23 Dec

AbeBooks posted an article on the Most Collectible Books of the Decade and I was all a flutter to find that some of my signed books are on the list . I’m lucky enough to have a wonderful indie bookstore in the area, Books and Books in the Gables, and whenever an interesting author comes around, I do my best to go to the event and get my book signed. Most of the events are free readings and signing, but the Stephenie Meyer event was a sort of exclusive vampire prom; you had to get your copy of Eclipse from the store in order to get a pair of tickets to the event.

I currently have signed copies of:

Twilight hardcover 1st ed. – Stephenie Meyer
The Life of Pi paperback – Yann Martel
Unaccustomed Earth hardcover 1st ed – Jhumpa Lahiri
Forever Princess hardcover 1st ed – Meg Cabot
Leviathan hardcover 1st ed – Scott Westerfield

Though most of my signed editions are personalized, only copies of Eclipse were personalized during the Stephenie Meyer event, so my copy of Twilight is collectibly impersonal.
