The easiest way to get a signed book from me is to get hold of Uncle Hugo’s bookstore, an excellent SF bookstore located about a mile from my house. They’ll take care of ordering it if they don’t have it in stock (though they probably will), and letting me know to go in there and sign it, and then they’ll deal with shipping. You’ll have to ask them about the exact details, but it’s probably the best way.

Uncle Hugo’s is literally my favorite bookstore in the entire world. I live 5 hours away, so I don’t get to go as often as I’d like. On one hand, that means I’m not constantly throwing money at tattered old SF paperbacks. On the other hand, when I do plan a weekend around the trip, my wallet has to take the accumulated hit. Last time I went I bought 185 books, and it was totally awesome.
Pro tip: buying the membership for the discount is worth it around the first full shopping basket of used books.
This seems like a great opportunity to fill in my collection. Thanks for the tip!
Really nice, thanks for the tip! i think i will visit the bookstore next week :)
Hi Steve, If you were to collect one signed copy of your work which would it be? I play the Aiken Drum, btw..Cheers! John Cichy
Hmm. Maybe The Book of Jhereg?
Or you can do what I did. Allow a friend to borrow the book, fail to return it, recommend it to a friend, lending your copy to him, and turn the two of them into the kind of fan who will stalk Steve through the teeming crowds of the Minnesota Renaissance Festival, borrowed paperback in sweaty hands, to demand an autograph. Steve was kind enough to deface my copy with a blue magic marker.
Maybe don’t do it that way, after all.
