Signed Thomas Harris book for under $20...? Yes, please!

[RonClinton]

WHAT the actual F? The SIGNED edition is still available for pre-order??? This has to be a scam. Someone on the TDT forum mentioned autopen and the signed Jurassic Park scandal. That's got to be what's happening here.

Don’t believe everything you read on the Internet, Jeff ...it was just someone spouting off a personal theory/guess that is as easily discounted as it is believed. I’m going with legit until proven otherwise...I don’t think B&N is pulling a scam.

I suspect the whole issue r.e. remaining copies is that it has not been promoted…I’m on Barnes & Noble‘s email list, and I have not seen any promotion of this signed title at all, not once. I only found out from another poster at TDT.org. If not for him, I wouldn’t have my copy and I wouldn’t have been able to notify everyone here who then got copies.

Stay positive and don’t let conspiratorial theories of some lone guy who has no more knowledge of the issue than you or me unsettle you...I really think we’re fine and it’ll be as advertised. If not, B&N will have a lot of returns and bad publicity on their hands, and they don’t want that.

I was very close to ordering this. I still may before the weekend is over if it's still available. Thanks for the information.

Thanks for the heads-up, Ron. I would have totally missed this.
You'd think, being a B&N member for longer than I can remember, they'd target me with an e-mail about this. I go there every week, and buy horror comics, horror magazines, horror novels...and I get nothing. If I buy my wife a historical romance, or my son a Minecraft book....? They target me with "You might like...." e-mails about video game books and romance novels.

It says on the order page that no coupons are allowed, buy I tried the three that I have on hand, just in case. (They didn't work.) But this is a steal, regardless. I'm really excited about this.

Turns out these are all singed copies due to a fire in the warehouse. Sorry for the typo.

It was a hot deal.

Reserved this one from the library two weeks ago. Looking forward to reading it.

Probably, but either way it's a heckuva lot more signing than he's ever done before, probably more this time (500? 1000?) than the cumulation of his entire career, if aftermarket availability of signed books by him are any gauge. I have an inscribed SILENCE OF THE LAMBS and a signed RED DRAGON, but I know I'm awfully lucky in that regard because he's always been notoriously reluctant to sign (see the recent Sub Press edition of SofL for recent confirmation of that).

I'm just hoping this is a believe-it-or-not, amazing-but-true deal and not some horrendous screw-up on the part of some B&N webmaster.

They are still available. I just ordered one. I wasn't going to get this book right away but how could I pass on this offer?

[RonClinton]

Just a guess here but I think he may have agreed to sign a bunch of tip-in sheets rather than do a book tour.

I ordered it too - thanks for the heads up! I can't believe he's actually signing this many copies of the book.

Really?? I used the promo code and now I'm enrolled at USC. Don't know how that happened.

Cost me more too because it isn't available locally so has to be shipped. I have the UK edition on pre-order as well but can't remember if it'll be signed or not.

[jeffingoff]

Thanks, Ron! Ordered it as well. Although the promo code didn't work for me either.
