You can order a signed copy of any of my five books (shown above) from Island Books, an independent bookstore near Seattle, WA.
You can either call them at (206) 232-6920 or order online using this link and in the last field of information to fill out (“Order comments”) specify that you want the copies to be signed by the author; if you want any of them inscribed for individual people, you need to specify that, too.
The shipping charge for books is a minimum of $4.50 (USPS media rate); faster delivery costs more.
