Checking for Interest: Signed Paperbacks?
🕑 Added 2025-06-04 23:08:20 +0000 UTCHi all,
Last week, a reader asked if he could get signed copies of a couple of my books in paperback. This came up a couple times in the past, and I wasn't sure how to handle it because reasons (logistics), but this time it clicked... and it was super easy.
To cut to details: If you/the reader are good with paying the standard Amazon-site price plus shipping via Ko-Fi, I can order the books, sign them, and mail them out myself. The US Postal Service "book rate" is pretty low for domestic shipping. The two I sent off from Washington to Tennessee cost about $8, plus $2 for a padded envelope. Naturally, international rates would be more expensive, and I'd have to check on a case-by-case basis.
Full disclosure: authors can order copies of their own books at a discount. I actually get a better cut this way than if the reader orders via Amazon directly. As I don't expect a flood of requests, that difference is enough to make it worthwhile to me.
I have (or can get) nearly everything in paperback. Days of High Adventure and the short story collections are the only exceptions.
Would you be interested? If so, (EDIT): The quickest way to get this rolling is to email me at elliottkaybooks@gmail.com OR send me a DM here on Patreon to let me know what books have your interest & where they'd be going. From there, I can check into shipping rates.
Thanks!

Shoot me an email or a DM here with the specific books you'd want and a zip code so I can check into shipping. Thanks!

I would absolutely be interested!

I hear you! My wife has dealt with this for friends in Canada several times. Whereabouts in Canada are you? I could get a ballpark answer on this, at least.

Yes, generally interested, but when dealing with Canada shipping, generally interested is very dependent on a lot of details
