Barnes & Nobles Selling author signed books

[slidekellyslide]

Went to B&N tonight with the wife to do some Christmas shopping and noticed an entire section of books that are autographed by the author. The books do not carry a premium either, they are the regular price. I even got 10% off because my wife is a member of whatever discount club they have and I got another 20% off on top of that from coupons they mailed to us from being in their club. I picked up Sammy Hagar's cook book (for my sister), Rainn Wilson's bio, and David Spade's bio.

Found a list online of all the available books. My local B&N had all of these in stock except for S.E. Hinton's The Outsiders. I saw all of the rest of these.

Maybe this is old news to you guys, but thought I'd post in case some of you didn't know. Seems like a cheap way to pick up legitimate autographs. And I did compare the sigs in the books to see if they were autopenned or stamped and they are definitely not, every sig I checked had slight differences. I also checked ebay when I got home and noticed that many of these books are selling online for double to triple what you can buy them off the shelf for. ie Elvis Costello, Patti Smith, Sammy Hagar....
