Sound like a fun event with a bunch of signings
I was there, too, and had a lot of fun. I have seen Stephen King speak a few times in the last couple of years, and I though it was funny how similar they are in their mannersisms, speech patterns, and false modesty. (Much like King will pretend to be surprised that people have heard of some his past books, Joe described himself as a "child actor" who appeared in Creepshow.) I wish I had brought some of my Locke and Key books with me to get signed. I had to take a train to Framingham (actually Ashland because, despite what the MBTA website claims, parking in Framingham is impossible) from work, so I didn't want to lug around a bunch of books in my backpack all day. Overall, the trip cost me $4 for parking plus $18.50 (!!) for a round-trip ticket between Ashland and Boston plus $30 for Wraith. However, it was worth it. I just wish I had had the foresight to go to Chipotle beforehand so I could have awkwardly watched him eat a burrito.
I just called up and ordered two copies. $30 each with free delivery since I am a B&N member. The clerk said she still had quite a few copies. They also have signed later editions and paperback edition Heart Shaped Box, Nos4a2 and others. Joe signed their entire stock.
edit: I just received my email receipt and they gave me a 10% discount.

Sounds like a great evening. Saw him twice this past year - both events were great (and a similar showing - maybe slightly more). He was very entertaining. Glad you both got a bunch of books signed.
I am now sure we will have dents Br!an! i tried to order one yesterday and they were saving them for the event. But now they have extras! sometimes things are too good to be true.
I'm really glad that Joe was able to personalize the copy that I reserved!

And a big thank you to DoctorZaius for the extra!!!

Got my signed copy of Wraith from BN. Started reading it and at first it was a bit high schoolish but 100 pages later it was getting pretty good.
Got mine in a padded envelope wraped in air pillows inside of a big box. Is that how they always ship stuff? Cause they really packed this one book good.

My copies arrived too. Packaged the same way. They are beautiful copies. No bumps.
Joe signed each one on the front end paper with a Sharpie. I prefer the title page.
The store put a sticker on the front of each book. That's really my only complaint.

Glad to hear that you did not get any bumps. I saw them putting the stickers on that night - kills me!
