This will be my first signing, so I wonder how I'm going to cope with buying the book 10 days after it's released. Surely people at the signing/con will be asking super-spoilery questions regarding Skin Game. I'm not really in a financial position to buy one copy of the book next week and ANOTHER copy at the signing (since we have to purchase the book to attend). Thoughts, ideas? Whatever-shall-I-do?!

Call the bookstore and ask if you can purchase a copy from them. If you're local, you can pick it up at the store, and if not, you should be able to have it sent to you. Many independent bookstores are happy to do this.

Ah geez guys. I leave AZ on Wednesday. My book will be waiting for him to sign. Wish I could be there! It is a great indie bookstore. One of the top 20 in the US. I was at Brandon Sanderson's signing there. Hugs to all of you. When in town, I head to the Mustang Library Writers Crit group. Great people. Swing by sometime if you can, but I won't be back until November. I opted for WyrdCon instead and I've got to get back to work. :-(
Buy you book early and get an earlier sign number card.
I'm waiting for audible download at midnight.

THANK YOU so much for posting this, I had no idea they put you in line in the order you bought the book from them! I just called them and ordered my copy. I'm 38th in line for Jim's signing!

So wish I could be there, but Iowa is lovely at the moment!
WARNING: I showed up for Brandon Sanderson's autograph session at the Poisoned Pen a full 40 minutes early. Barely got the LAST SEAT. My autograph slot was 135 or something. It was live feed so most people were outside on the sidewalk watching and listening. Parking is an issue as well. Some nearby businesses allow evening parking in their lots.
I asked them when would have been a good time to come and was told about 1 hour early.
Great place, lovely people.
(And they have an off-shoot - Poisoned Pen Press. I signed a two book deal with their new YA crime fiction imprint Poisoned Pencil. The first book will be out Jan or Feb 2015.)

Thanks for the heads up, meg_evonne! I'm gonna try to get there at least an hour early.
