Bought Zoe's Tale for my 8 month old daughter for Christmas. Figured I'd start her off right! (along with a host of other fondly remembered tales of my youth...but this is her first autographed edition). Of course I will be forced to read it to her....thus sharing the enjoyment myself! Thanks John (and Jay and Mary) for setting this up. I just ordered mine from Jay and Mary today. Bought Zoe’s Tale for my 8 month old daughter for Christmas. Figured I’d start her off right!

Yes, I'm assiduous; I read those too.

We prefer supporting independent book stores. And according to their website there is a Chocolate and Coffee establishment next door. Can't get better the books, coffee, and chocolate. :> Apropo to nothing in this post, the wife and I are heading over to Jay and Mary’s Book Center today (from Columbus) to check it out.

I've been given a few -- mostly by friends who were Really Proud of their First Published Work -- and acquired a few more -- mostly from authors who looked so lonely sitting there waiting for attention (or, wistfully, for praise) -- but on the whole I figure that good books already contain all the words they really need. (Mind you, I intend to pop over to LosCon Saturday and check the Huxter Room for any Scalzi titles I don't already have, but autographs play almost no part in this.) Autographed books?
