You have to buy the book directly from the bookstore hosting the event. Can’t bring your own. If you buy the ticket for the event, and can’t make it, you still get the book signed (as long as there are quantities remaining). When Geddy signs the book, it is personalized. Not sure about the remaining stock. Also, no pictures will be allowed and no other memorabilia will be signed. I called the Austin bookstore for Monday’s event and that was their explanation. I can’t make it to signing event (so fucking pissed..last minute business trip). My wife says she can go to the event and get a signed copy. Not sure if I should bite the bullet and let her get it signed...wouldn’t feel special Lol.
What do you guys think? Should she get a book signed for me?
If your choice is between getting a signed, personalized book, a signed, but not personalized book, an unsigned book, or no book at all, I'd go for the signed, personalized book (unless you think you might want to sell it at some point, in which case the signed, but not personalized book would be better).
At the moment, I have no book at all and am hoping he does another signing in Southern California (although my willingness to stand in long lines grows in inverse proportion to my age).
