Signed Books
If you would like to get signed books but you’re nowhere near me and I’m not coming anywhere near you anytime soon … you can buy your books signed from the University Book Store at the University of Washington here in Seattle. Here’s how:
- Step One: Click here to locate a list of my books at the U-district bookstore. Order the book or books you want and proceed to checkout.
- Step Two: State your purpose. On the payment page, there is a comment field. Fill it with specific directions about how you’d like your book (or books) signed. Say something like, “Please sign my copy of Boneshaker ‘to Pookie with love.’” Include the book’s title, and add “Contact Duane Wilkins for arrangements”.
- Step Three: Complete and pay for your order.
At this point, Duane will contact me, and I’ll go down to the bookstore to sign your book(s). Then Duane will mail the book(s) to you.
And now for three pertinent notes which you should absolutely read and remark before ordering:
- NOTE #1: Ordering new books through University Book Store is the ONLY way to get signed books from yours truly (aside from attending a signing in your city or finding your way to a store where I’ve signed stock). But you cannot order books that are listed as being out-of-print. Also, you cannot send books you already own, nor can you order signed books through another site, such as B&N or Amazon.
- NOTE#2: The bookstore will run your card and make sure the payment clears before contacting me so I can come and sign it. Due to this — and the fact that I live several miles away from the bookstore — please understand that your book will not ship immediately. There will be a lag time of a few days (but hopefully not more than that).
- NOTE #3: If you have any questions or problems with this system, please contact Duane Wilkins — duanewsfbks@lycos.com — and he will assist you because he is awesome.
