Several readers have asked me if there’s a way to get a signed copy of the book without making it to 
one of the few book readings/signings. Well, I asked HarperCollins, and the answer is: yes, there is.
If you join the book club, and buy the book, you can email me your questions and criticisms (theconservativesoul@gmail.com) – but also, if you want a personalized signature in your copy, let me know and include your name and full mailing address in the email. Put the words "signed copy" in the content line of your email, so we can expedite things.
Harper Collins has "book-plates" – essentially adhesive, paper inserts for the first page – that I can dedicate to you or a friend or family member, sign, and send back by mail. They look like the inserts people once put in books to mark them as part of their own library. When you get it, just peel off the back and stick it into your copy of the book. It’s as good as waiting in line at Barnes and Noble.
Please no lengthy dedications: just the name of the person you want the book dedicated to, or I’ll develop carpal tunnel syndrome. But the general rule is: if you buy the book, I’ll find a way to sign it, if that’s your preference. It’s one more way a blog can interact with a book. Reminder: the email address is theconservativesoul@gmail.com. And put "signed copy" in the content line. Join the virtual book club with a virtually personalized edition. More details here.
