[quote=""Maggie""]I received two books hubby ordered for me (Moondance of Stonewylde and Solstice at Stonewylde) and they were both dedicated to me and signed by Kit Berry the author.

They are the only books I have that are signed.[/quote]

I have these books on my TBR pile. The author is supposedly writing five books in the series, depending on the feedback and popularity. She's written 3 so far.

I have a couple prized signatures in my historical novel collection. I was able to have Diana Gabaldon sign my first edition hardcover OUTLANDER at the Historical Novel Convention last year. At HNS I was also able to meet Bernard Cornwell and get his signature on THE WINTER KING and THE GALLOWS THIEF.

JMJACOBSON: A question - is Charles Dickens' great-great-great-grandson named "Charles Dickens" ? What a cool authograph to snag!

Christine - his name is Mark Charles Dickens, which was still very neat since he wrote a personal inscription to my son. I think 2006 was the last year Mark did the signings. Nowadays it's Henry Dickens Hawksley, which for some reason reminds me of ol' whats-his-name from the movie Titanic. ha.

Now the signed 'Outlander' is very, very cool. Wow.

I've just remembered this one and it kind of goes in this thread.
I was asked by a reader for several signed bookplates. I duly sent them. I got a happy dance reply saying that she was thrilled..... and they were all going to be stuck in her Harry Potter books!!! Eh?

Yes, that's very strange. Doing that in the first place - but also telling you!!

I know. I think perhaps she didn't quite understand what's supposed to happen with bookplates. It's going to look a bit weird if she ever gets around to selling her Harry Potters!

I have Anita Shreve's signature and personal notes on her first four novels and a trio of the same from Barnaby Conrad who has kindly given permission to use his positive comment for a blurb on the cover of Rocamora.
