Will they ship by Monday? I paid the shipping upgrade to priority mail so hopefully mine will come before Christmas(fingers crossed).
Just inscribed 50 copies of Beige. Matt says it's his bestselling Little Book so far (he sold lots more in the uninscribed state).

Yep. I remember a Vaughn. Lots of familiar names from the board.

I'm not a professional collector or even an amateur, and now I see why.
I ordered BEIGE from Borderlands. I am now the happy recipient of the copy. It's awfully cute. I love little things, Like sample bottles of shampoo and stuff like that. Now I have a miniature book, too.
But it's not signed! I don't know why I thought it would be. I could have sworn that I even wrote the name I wanted it inscribed to, but alas, didn't happen.
Apparently only Shocklines was inscribing? I dun got cornfused. :confused:

Well, for years I was smart.
I recommend pleasant.

It MUST be signed. But I inscribed one to "Maggers" for Matt (I THINK I did). Did you order two?

Wow, Paul, are you ever wrong?
It IS signed. I only just picked it up a couple of hours ago and was in a hurry to get home. So on the first look through I missed your signature beneath your ... umm... rather grand proboscis. Told you I'm not a collector. It's not inscribed to "Maggers," though, which is what I thought I had requested. It is entirely possible that I ordered two, though I don't remember doing so.
It's a signed, numbered edition. #247 of 500. Very cool.
And one line on the last page of "Please Don't Hurt Me" still GROSSES ME OUT more than just about anything else I've ever read!

You'd never get an inscribed copy from Borderlands. Only from Shocklines. And unless there's another Maggers out there, I know I signed one to you.
