My autographed copy of Redshirts by John Scalzi. I got it because JS works out this deal with local independent bookseller Jay and Mary’s Book Center, to offer signed and personalized books
for gift-giving. I will admit I was slightly worried because Jay & Mary's Book Center requested that orders be placed via this archaic device called a telephone. When I called my order in, Jay made me repeat my information twice. Then he made me repeat it a third time because his "system" lost it. I realize that a small scale independent bookseller like theirs doesn't have the infrastructure to have an online ordering system. However, there has to be a better way to avoid mistaking the name of my street -- which i spelled as I gave it -- for Lawyer.

Comments Encouraged! And the nice thing about this blog is that I rarely get spam so don't need to moderate the comments.
I've set the comments up to allow anonymous users -- but I'd love it if you "signed" your comments (as some of my readers have done) just so you have an identity of sorts.
