I often receive emails asking me to sell the sender a book, inscribe a happy birthday wish, and mail it to their friend or loved one.

Unfortunately, I do not keep a large supply of books to sell, and would have no way to handle such a transaction.

But there are two solid ways to get a book signed by me, even in these times of quarantine.

University Book Store in Seattle will allow you to buy a book and request an autograph or dedication. It's fairly simple. You visit their website, purchase the book, and in the 'comments' section of the book order, type in exactly what you'd like me to write in the book. Please be precise so I can get it exactly right.

That link takes you to all the Hobb books they have in stock, and the Lindholm book Wizard of the Pigeons. I'm happy to sign whatever you purchase, be it hardback or paperback. If you are pre-ordering a book, such as the illustrated hardback of Assassin's Quest, you may have to wait a bit for the store to get copies. and for me to drive up to Seattle to sign in.

If you are interested in signed first edition hardbacks, shipped so they arrive in 'book collector pristine' condition, then The Signed Page is your friend.

The Signed Page even offers the boxed set Folio Edition of the Farseer Trilogy. The pre-signed ones sold out very fast from the Folio site, but The Signed Page has obtained some sets, and I'm happy to go in and very carefully sign those beauties. My Lindholm book, Wizard of the Pigeons, is also available there, as well as the Illustrated hardbacks of the Farseer Trilogy, with art by Magali Villeneuve. (Very well known for her Magic the Gathering card artwork.)

Be sure to wander the entire Signed Page website. There are all sorts of treasures there in terms of signed hardbacks!

I hope this is helpful to anyone who wants a signed book to give as a gift or for oneself.
