Well, the time is almost here. MHV officially releases in just over a month.
In the past I’ve just sold autographed copies here on the blog, which is awesome for me, and (I would hope) awesome for you, but there is one drawback to doing it that way. My blog doesn’t report to any bestseller lists. And one of the keys to building a writing career is to have your books show up on various bestseller lists. MHI made it onto Entertainment Weekly and also onto Locus, both of which are big deals. I’d like to get MHV up there too.
So, for this release, I’m going to autograph the books, and then they are going to go to a major independent book store. You guys can then order them from this particular bookstore. (and they’re awesome, so you shouldn’t have any issues there). You get an autographed first printing when it first comes out, and I get to boost my stats.
Once I get the details ironed out with the store, then I’ll go ahead and post who it is, and all their contact information.
But I’m going to need to get an approximate headcount first, so I know how many books need to come to me first so that I can sign them, before I then ship them to the bookstore. So what I’d ask is that if you want to do this, please post in the comments below how many you want. Please be honest, because I want this to work out for the bookstore as well so we can continue to do this for future endeavors.
If you’ve got a blog or friends that are MH fans, please help me spread the word. I’d really appreciate it.
I would please Sir.
In for 1
Put me and my Dad down for one each.
One for me and one for my friend Scott (who you signed a copy for at LibertyCon this past July) if you please.
Yes sir! Count me in.
I am in for one. I will just have to give away the one I have on pre-order at amazon 😉
I would like to order a copy as well. 🙂
Count me in for two Larry, any patches left?
Mark me down for one. It’ll go nicely with my signed, self-published copy of MHI, which my wife didn’t get to read, because I made her buy a Baen copy to boost your stats. 😉
I would love one as well
Count me in for one!
I’ll order one
I want one please and thank you.
I’ll take one.
Put me down for one!!!!!!! I wish they were being published in a quality PPB format to match your original publication.
Any new patches coming out with the book?
I’d like one Larry.
Also, if you haven’t talked to Mysterious Galaxy Bookstore out in San Diego you really should. They are one of the best independent spec fiction book stores in the country. I know both Brandon Sanderson, Jim Butcher and Dan Wells have done signings there.
Erik, I did a signing there last year with Dave Wolverton and John Brown. They’re awesome people, and it is an awesome store. One of my favorites.
Plus they ship a lot of books to the Navy out of San Diego. I was the #1 book of the USS Ronald Reagan battle group. 🙂
OH YEAH I NEED ONE> Can I get one on Sept 25th at the Jordan Landings Barns and Noble? 11:00 am -1 pm? I understand you might be there to do a panel and signing right?

I need 1.
this is great – thanks Larry.
Put me down for 2 copies please.
I’ll take 2!
I’m in for one…goes well with the self published one. I’ll even let the pre-order I’ve placed at B&N stay around.
I’m definitely getting at least one, Larry! I bought autographed copies of MHI for me and all my friends, but I think this time around I’ll make them buy their own copies. Haha
OK, so I still have 3 copies of MHI (First printing, then two of the Baen copies, 1 with your autograph.)
I’ll take another copy of your signature! (And I’ll use Amazon to pick up the copy that I will loan out.)
I’d like one please, Larry.
I’m in for TWO (2) copies please.
I’d like one please, Larry. Thanks!
Two signed copies here, hoss.
Will post a link tomorrow, too.
Please reserve 1 for me and 1 for another MH fan in Ketchikan, Alaska!

Actually need 2, one for our collection and “the Loaner” copy.
I’ll take 2
Absolutely, count me in for one.
In for two, please.
Larry,

The only thing wrong with e-ARC of MHV is that it wasn’t signed. So yeah, I’m down for one.

Sign me up for one, Larry (and ping me privately, if it’s not TOO many, I might be able to make a bunch of MHI or Combat Wombat decals to go with them. . .)

I would like an autographed copy of MHI:Vendetta
Sign me up for one–and I’ll need to place an order with you separately for the corresponding patches. (Not quite the same as a personally-inscribed copy, but I’m glad to help with your stats so that you have one more thing to shove down the Marxtards’/Twitards’ craws.)
Put me down for two.
So for signed copies of MHI, should we continue to go through you, or will you be putting those up with these folks as well?
One for me please Larry
I will take one. It will go well with my signed MHI.
You know it.
Assuming a normal price, put me down for 2

I believe I’ll be investing in the company that makes Sharpies. Considerin’ the number of pens you will go through on this little project I could see a real rise in my portfolio, and you better start excercising your autographing hand, heh.
Oh, yeah, put me down for two for sure. That way maybe I won’t lose my copy to my daughter the way the first original went.
Put me down for one, please.

Geno
I would like one.
The way this thread is going you won’t have time to be writing anything except your autograph for a while, heh,
I want one! I missed the chance to get a signed copy of the self published first novel. 🙁
I think 3 should do the trick
I would like two, please.
I’m in for 1
I know I’m kind of late, but I was sitting here thinking I’d already pre ordered two copies of MHV. I’d like two, please.
OK, I just took another head count and it seems I need 3 more. That brings my total to 5. What can I say,
I’m in for one
I’ll take one copy please!
Damn Larry! Long list! Put the Basset down for 2. I’m still waiting for the Easton Press Autographed editions… Any word yet?
john
aka basset
I would like one, please. Can’t wait…..
Two copies, please.
Two copies please!
I would love to have 2 signed copies, Thank you!!!
Maybe third time is the charm.
“Aloha State MHI” will take 2 copies. Mahalo.
James
I’d love a copy! The whole family has read it and are hungry for more.
One autographed, and then I’ll go buy one I can read over and over.
In for one. Is it too late? Been off the grid.
See the latest post. We are now live.
I’ll take one!
I’ll take one please. Waiting for Amazon to deliver my copy of MHI, but I’ll buy from wherever needed to get an autographed first print. As long as they ship outside of the US (since The Netherlands does not count as part of US overseas territories).
I was going to buy it at my local big box, but they seem to be having distributor problems. Or maybe it is because it is from Baen. It always seems to happen to Baen volumes.
Can we still get an autographed copy from you?
