One of the most delightful surprises of my life involved ordering Lois McMaster Bujold's The Hallowed Hunt on Amazon, only to discover that the copy I received in the mail had been autographed.
I contacted Lois through Baen's Bar, and she said it was probably an extra copy from a bookstore autograph session. Apparently, even signed copies are sometimes sent back to the publisher and redistributed. Who knew?
