And who knows how many have gone back n forth - especially the ones sold for mid 20's might be ones people are trying to sell in the 80's. Then what'll happen after the tour with the signed copies hitting the market. I think I'll have to ask him what he thinks about the new pixels movie and if you just shake your head when that comes out around same time as your book.Originally Posted by zelig
Powell's is selling signed copies as well.

Not sure I'd take the risk:
Please note: Cline will join us for a lunchtime booksigning at our downtown store and an evening event (reading and booksigning) at our Cedar Hills Crossing location.
Please note: Signed preordered books will be shipped to you and are not available for pick-up in the store the night of the event (but if you're planning to attend, don't worry! Signed editions are usually available at the events). Also, we are sorry but we can not accommodate personalized inscriptions, or guarantee the signed books are first editions. Thanks for your understanding.
Good catch. Didn't see the note on possible later printings.Not sure I'd take the risk:

It seems unlikely since their signing is day after book launch. But I assume they added that from issues with previous signings and disgruntled shoppersGood catch. Didn't see the note on possible later printings.Not sure I'd take the risk:

And of course now that I broke down and bought a copy of the ARC of Armada, what shows up literally at the same time? An copy from my Random House source. Lol, glad I didn't spend a lot.
Seem I have an extra ARC if anyone's interested.
Brian, your pm's are full. I can't message you back.
Typical!

Well at least you can pass it along. Mine came today as well - and fine condition, not a blemish - the seller was true in their description.
Nice EC interview on goodreads. Talks about rp1 trilogy...
GR: Which writers have been influential or inspirational to you?
EC: William Gibson, Neal Stephenson, Roald Dahl. But I also love Carl Sagan's nonfiction books as well as his book Contact. Arthur C. Clarke, Robert Heinlein, his juvenile adventures and his bigger novels, too, and Alfred Bester, who wrote The Stars My Destination. But probably the biggest of all time is Stephen King. I just devoured Stephen King books when I was growing up.

What´s the market price for an unsigned green/white US proof of RP1 , any idea?
I wouldn't sell mine for less than 250. There have been a few sold for 350-400. The black cover proof seems even more scarce. One just sold for 350 on eBay. I lucked out and found one on ABE for 75.
There's a paperback version of Armada out of Australia it seems. I'm guessing it's like with new King releases when a trade paperback is released at the time of the hardcover for airports and some export countries. There's some on eBay here.
Getting Ready for the Armada book launch today. I know this is not as exciting as the Finder's Keepers weekend. But I hope I can get a bit more than one book signed. Plus I think Ernie might be a bit more entertaining than King at this event tonight. Anyone with any questions you want me to try and ask? I think I will see what he has to say about a movie like pixels being released at same time his book is - and does he enjoy a movie like that or cringe knowing his book was already optioned.
this doesn't even include the 8 copies of Armada that I have waiting at the bookstore. Plus a few copies of RP1 for my nieces too...
I can only hope that most people will only be getting a copy of Armada signed - then the crazy guy with two bags of books shows up...
Are those Hebrew copies? Nice.
I have to find me a 1/1 or RP1 somewhere.
Yes they are first edition Hebrew copies. I have to thank shac for mine. He shipped me his and was able to get a friend to buy a copy while in Israel and get it shipped to me in plenty of time. I think the Hebrew rp1 cover is more fitting to armada though. Now maybe if I write out my Hebrew name he could inscribe that…
It was my pleasure chad. Enjoy the event and looking forward to stories and photos
Enjoy the event! Sounds like you have a lot of books to be signed. Hopefully he signs them all. I can't make any of the events but I managed to get some books signed which are on the way to me. I will post pics when they arrive.
Shac, if you have an extra Hebrew edition I would like one.
Have fun and do your best ^^
Just sitting back - eating a salad and enjoying a beer before seating opens up in about an hour. Checked in early and spoke with people working event - one of the women handed me one of those earth alliance patches - she said she only had a few giveaways - not sure what else I might be able to get
Reading was a lot of fun - Ernie talked for about 50 minutes and then answered questions for a bit. Showed a slide show with all of the movies, etc that influenced him. He's a very fast talker - he went through his whole life history and a timeline of his writing and about fan boys as well. A lot of fun. Waiting now until the end to get my stuff signed. Fortunately I'm off tomorrow since it'll be a long night. But I don't want to be that guy with two bags of books - and feel rushed with glaring eyes boring through my skull. Plus either his hand will be very tired (although this is only second stop on the tour) or he'll be accommodating to all my wants and desires - for signing of course - I'm hoping the latter.
Excited to know how everything worked out!
Wanted: Human skin edition of The Book of the Dead. Will accept PC copy.
Tiring, very tiring. 90 minute drive there and then back. Signing started at about 8:50 and I was near the end at about 10:30 - so not too bad. The store workers were really nice and helped move things along. But it was extremely difficult to keep track of 24 books, try and talk with Ernie, get a picture, etc.
I told him about the dark tower and that most of the extra books were for members - he said "oh I've been on there in the past" and I mentioned we started a Cline thread and he said he'd have to check it out - so who knows, maybe one day Ernie will happen along our thread and share some insight.
After all of the books were signed (as I was nearing the end) I asked if he wouldn't mind signing a couple Atari cartridges - he was cool with that - but the staff weren't (it was late and one said "I think we can't sign any more toys" - so I only got a couple signed - but that was the same woman who took a picture of me next to Ernie). There were no posed pictures to move the line - but I got one since I was near the end - basically a photo book bomb - so I was happy.
A really enjoyable evening. I even went on amazon afterwards to order fan boys - since I had not seen it (and it's not on Netflix). I'll post some pics shortly
Oh and that was the first time he had seen the Hebrew version - so he was really excited to see that one too.
