    So, after reading this I visited the local independent and sure enough they had several of the signed copies for sale. Most were signed "best" with the familiar doodle in the 'O' of Horns. There were two unique version (both of which I snagged): the first had an inscription in code "_... . ... _" and no doodle (haven't translated it yet) and the second was signed "warmly" but with a full face doodle of a devil head. I would post pics if I could, but I don't think I have the privileges yet.

    While I was there, they also confirmed the details of Joe's Toronto visit. It's scheduled for Monday March 22, 7PM at the Merril Collection -- I don't think that's on his site yet. I'll definitely be there.

    I have one of those special signed first editions of a Michael Chabon book. I agree with the others who are saying they seem to be very few copies per bookstore, but spread out into a whole lot of stores. I'd love to find one of the HORNS variety.

    Looking forward to seeing Joe and Jerome in SF!



    Jerome, I'll be offline all day traveling on business. I hope to make it to the Magnolia by 5:30 or so. I'll call or text once I'm well on the way up from Fresno and let you know my location.

    Ahhhh....I was hoping someone would find out the number. Thanks for the info.

    I guessed at a 1000.

    None of the small bookstores in my area received one. I guess it's a hit or miss deal.
