If It Bleeds Signed?

[Beverly Marsh]

So I'm sure many of you watched the King/Grisham event and of course caught the fact that he's signing a bunch of books to help independent bookstores. Assuming it's the new one.
Thought we could speculate and add info here as people come by it.

[webstar1000]

Yes I was posting about this. There is supposed to be 500 I think Being done and details to be released soon.

These will likely be released to local bookstores for locals only is my guess.

IDK You may be able to purchase online, social distancing and all, no? I would expect they are not having you visit the store.

Does anyone have a link to a video of the event? Thanks.

Thank you, Bev!!! That was great!!! Once again, YOU DA MAN!!!!!!


Question, Bev. Is there someplace online that's lists links to independent bookstores that sell online? Is it the "BINC" that they reference or somewhere else?


FWIW, I came away with a few, Grisham novels to order.

That was an excellent watch, so natural. Great

I haven't heard how the books are going to be distributed. I'll let you know if I do. I've been reading Grisham since THE FIRM. A good storyteller.

Thank you that would be cool, but I was referring to just buying books in general instead of say, Amazon or B&N. You know, some central link/website listing for independent book stores that offer online sales.

I'm definitely going to do that and many thanks my good man!!!! Think I've had enough of B&N and Amazon and will start with a couple of the, Grisham books mentioned in the discussion!!!

Don't know about signed copies of If It Bleeds, but I ordered a signed copy of Camino Winds about a month ago from New Dominion Books (in VA, I think), for anyone who's interested. I met Grisham on tour for Camino Islands a few years back.

[bdwyer19]

Grisham mentioned Square Books. That is a great bookstore to buy from. I’ve purchased several signed novels of his from there over the past twenty years.

[Randall Flagg]

I believe the signed books are gone.

[jreitan47]

Guess I wasn't "in the know" in regards to the link sent out to the bookstore email subscribers, but I found out which store it was and placed an order for the book anyways. If I get one signed, cool...if not, I have a copy to put on the first edition shelf as I already have my reading copy..and it feels nice supporting an Independent.

[bdwyer19]

The signed books lasted about three hours.

Well, I registered to the mailing list. Just in case there will be another opportunity.
Although I heard that they werent shipping outside of the USA/ Canada....

[Beverly Marsh]

Yep, they were available for $30.00 but not a member so I heard about it later. Obviously a great deal for those who snagged one, let's see how many end up on the aftermarket and at what price 🙄
One bookstore down....

I was guessing $500-600 but David at Betts thinks way more and a couple of others too. I’m guessing 500 copies were signed. Be interesting to see what they go for. One guy sold his copy for $750 pretty quick on Facebook though. Another girl I know is asking $800 for hers

Makes sense. More along the lines of The Institute pricing. A little less than The Outsider or Elevation because more signed.
If I got one for $30.00 that'd be great but I won't be paying astronomical prices for this.

I haven’t even read the book yet to see if it’s good. Institute seems to have settled in the $650 range. Maybe this will as well. We will see soon enough. The books start shipping on Tuesday.

All my knowledge comes second hand, but to the BEST of my estimation, there were about 200-250 books sold....I know person who got to order first and his number was 130 (bookstore was numbering ALL online orders, not just If It Bleeds)....last number just before it sold out was 370something....that leaves 240 numbers and likely not ALL were If It Bleeds....

Pricing....my BEST GUESS is around $800.....Institute had ONE signing event and a 1st/1st signed by King goes about $600 (was over $800 at the beginning)....there were NO signings for Outsiders or Elevation and both of those are over $1200 each (Elevation over $1500)....so my guess is If It Bleeds starts around $800ish.


Left out of Outsiders....there was an event I think in Minnesota where signed LATER editions (like 12th, 13th, 14th printings) were given out.....these go around $400ish today.....but as far as I know there were no signing events for 1st editions.

Tend to agree with this man. Few sold on Facebook for $800+
