Books! With Glue!

[pameladean]

I quite forgot to mention that the other cheering occurrence, possibly better than vitamins, was that Sharyn sent me advance copies of the first two Secret Country books in their shiny new matching reprint covers. Long ago, when the Scribblies were newly published, Steve Brust observed that the profound difference between the page proofs and the final actual book must be attributable to the glue. The glue has done its magic again.

David came upstairs with the camera Just in Case the package should be those books, and took a photo of me holding them up, which is now on my website. I can never remember the URL. Okay, here it is.

They are really quite beautiful.

Oh, those /are/ gorgeous. Darn it, this is where I get into the, "Ooooh new cover must have!" mindset which makes no sense when I already own the whole trilogy and fifteen hundred other books which I don't have sufficient shelf space for as it is! Curses!

OTOH, my habit with getting books signed is to get the author to sign the old, beloved, dog-eared, yellow-paged version of the book and then to retire it with honors and buy a new copy for reading, so the obvious answer here is to arrange to be in the right place someday to have you sign the original books... :)

Those are my favorite kinds of books to sign.

I don't reliably to to more conventions than Minicon at the moment.
