    Maybe he signed 500 plus the lettered for The Fireman and he did an additional 1000 for something, or somethings, else.

    I have seen that ad multiple times and just noticed that it says 500 signed copies and Joe mentioned singing 1500 for PS at the Portland signing. I wonder which one is correct?

    PS has given multiple dates when they would 'officially' announce this book and all have now passed, the latest being 'Late May'. PS generally puts items up on there page to coincide with their newsletter on Fridays. Hopefully this one will be up for sale soon.

    But that can all change, as I've only read 200 pages so far.

    Got it. I liked The Fireman much better that NOS4A2.

    Goldsboro will also package it such that, if the bombs fall while it's en route, you can die safe in the knowledge that, unlike you, your book will not succumb to nuclear fire.

    Get it from Goldboro instead...same book, same red-stained page edges, etc....but it's numbered (of 350).

    Thanks for the link, Siep. I have yet to dive into it but those red page edges are freakin' cool!

    Nah, I suspect he'll still tour...he's too much a showman and seems to demonstrably enjoy interacting w/ his readers. He may, though, have to look at holding them at bigger venues or something of that sort. Either way, I'm disappointed I didn't get to see him this time around...that showmanship makes for a great time.
    I think he will still tour. I was saying it will probably be the last in store one. I am guessing he will be someplace like the Baghdad theater next time.

    Based on the turnout I have to think it will be the last in store appearance for Joe. Shortly before Joe arrived they announced that if someone needed to use the restroom they should go then because the room was approaching capacity and they may have to stop letting people in. I did not take any pictures of the event but will try to get pictures of the items I got signed posted to my collection thread tomorrow. Here is a preview:

    Sorry you missed it Ron, it was a fun event.
