Intestines? ewwww...

My request is on the way right now!! I've not read your work either but I'm looking forward to it!!! I said it in the other thread but this is a great idea and I appreciate the work both you and Dreams put in to make it happen!!

i've got my signed ebook ! yay ! thanks again David, i am really looking forward to reading this story, for the circumstances as much as for the story itself.

cbell · 07-10-2010, 07:54 PM

I've got my signed book, too! This is really special! I'm going to read it again now.

k bye.

Edit: So nice that I could attend the book signing and pick up my copy in my pyjamas!

I've got my signature edition. I look forward to discovering your writing due to this event. I will be posting in the What Are you Reading thread when I read it.

Thanks a lot for a great idea and event and for choosing MR to host it.

I'd thought of Ivory, indigo, iced tea and ingots. I would prefer he kept his intestines to himself, please and thank you. I'll also pass on receiving Icelandic iguanas.

Yippe Yikes - I just opened my book (#9) - looks great!
Thanks so much David!

This is brilliant. I just sent in my email. Thank you!

banjobama · 07-10-2010, 09:50 PM

I got my book, it's cool! Makes me feel like a celebrity or something. Is your signin' hand hurting yet?

MickeyC · 07-10-2010, 09:53 PM

Got my signed edition a couple of hours ago. This is a really cool approach!

Vintage Season · 07-10-2010, 10:26 PM

Is my signing hand tired? Sort of... and a little shaky. Feels good, though.

Am I having fun? You betcha! I enjoy every signing every single one.

Did I remember to eat today? Umm... darn, I knew I was forgetting something.

As of 12:40pm EST, I am all caught up with the requests that have arrived—including a few came in as I was sending out the last batch for the night—and I am looking at an empty inbox... which means if you haven't sent a request yet, it would be an ideal time to do so.

See you in the morning!

Yup, I got mine. Very awesome.

Sweetpea · 07-11-2010, 02:00 AM

I sent in my request, but I do have a question... Do you have a paypal account or anything so I can leave a donation? I know the book is free, but initiatives like these should be rewarded in some way!

Many thanks, David. I'll email you from my PC in a few minutes. This is a brilliant idea and will no doubt set a trend. My own wee house has been thinking along similar lines with limited signed editions in ePub, Mobi and PDF. Thing is that we're talking about 120 titles from around eighty authors, so it's something of a technical challenge to organise on an individual basis. My tech partner, Tony Szmuk in Canada, is working on it. Good luck and best wishes on a ground-breaking initiative. Here's karma to ya. Neil

lol! When I read my (very personalised) dedication, I laughed out loud! I love it!

... still laughing hehe

It's a little dark and fuzzy, but that due to the nut loose behind the shutter. This is a brilliant promotion.
