I just realized a book I recently purchased (nothing special; just a cheap hc from a used book store) has not only the name written on the inside of the book, but also their phone number. I am so tempted to call them.

Go for it Brice.You should ask them for a book review. See if it's worth reading before investing any of your time.

I bought an out-of-print book on Amazon because I was going to meet the author and figured I'd get it signed...couldn't buy it new...
So I get the book...and he has already signed it...worse, it's with a personalized inscription to a prior owner...
WORSE...the book has a second personal inscription. The book had been given as a gift to this prior owner, by someone who made an effort to have the author sign it before giving it away!
So, the book made it to Amazon through a used bookstore - with two personal inscriptions, and already signed!
Luckily, they were on the same non-title page, so I cut the page out with an exacto knife...haha...don't worry, the book's not worth anything (I paid .01, plus $3.99 shipping), and I didn't want the author to feel bad! Haha...

I got mine, too... actually, I got one of each.
Here's a photo of LRH :
The Long Road Home Hardcover - signed by Robin Furth on July 19, 2009
I'm having issues with my digital camera, or I'd post them all.I got Treachery and Long Road Home Today. I think it was cool the way she signed and dated them. Dating them makes it feel more special.
Sick...my friend gave me a John Densmore (the Doors) Book
His ex-girlfriend went to a signing and he inscribed it "to Carolyne"
The twit scratched out carolyne and wrote "mike" and then wrote a tear jerking sob story letter apologizing for being a cheat and begging for him back and it then says "I know you how much you love the Doors so I hope you will treasure this gift forever on the FFE....????"
TWIT is all I can think of.
Needless to say EX is the key word here...
Well, clearly she deserved to lose him for destroying that book.
I'm thinking of doing it about 3AM.Go for it Brice.
Congratulations, Pam!

Congratulations, Pam! A great acquisition.

Thanks, John.
It's a real personal kind of thing for me, too. I first started my journey to the Tower listening to the audio cassettes while on a road trip to the Grand Canyon ages ago.
We just happened upon them in a dusty truck stop in the middle of nowhere. It was Ka, without a doubt.

Nice Pam! Our little collector is growing up!
It's always great when the items have a personal significance too.
A NEW GAME BEGINS
Without a doubt, this one is special. And so was my first signed Sai King ( LSoE ).

I haven't posted much of my own acquisitions lately, but I have a couple "updated" Pride & Joys:
This is a hardcover Long Road Home graphic novel signed by Peter David, Jae Lee, Richard Isanove (and remarqued) and Robin Furth. Since I was the gatherer of signatures for the Grand Prize of the "Big Give" for the Haven Foundation fundraiser earlier this year, I brought/sent my own copy along to get signed. Alas, mine stopped at Robin Furth (thanks to Matt who sent it to Australia for me). The winner of the Grand Prize (our own Ari) gets his signed by King and I got Jae Lee to do a remarque as well.
Dragline : Nothin'. A handful of nothin'. You stupid mullet head. He beat you with nothin'. Just like today when he kept comin' back at me - with nothin'.
Luke : Yeah, well, sometimes nothin' can be a real cool hand.
Congrats, Pam, on your S/L audiobook!
Love that remarque, Wiz!
Those embossing and inscription stories on the last page make me cringe.
I've had this painting for a few months now, but am posting a picture of it now. Yes, It's a Whelan.

Wow!!!. Very impressive. What medium is that?. Size?. Really nice, David.
I'm glad you got it and love it David, cool little incription there. Maybe one day this can go with you to a signing to get the last one.I haven't posted much of my own acquisitions lately, but I have a couple "updated" Pride & Joys:
