I have been trying to find out which book this is going to be. https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/unt...=9780593240212

The related categories listed under multiple sellers for the book is
Books Biography & Autobiography Personal Memoirs
Books Humor Form - Essays
Books Humor Topic - Celebrity & Popular Culture

Commonreads.com has this as the description.

Hilarious essays about growing up, fitting in, standing out, and--of course--smoking weed, from the writer, actor, director, and producer of the cult hits Superbad, This Is the End, and many more.


Could this be for a Seth Rogan signed book?

Well the "about the author" section says:

About the Author
Anne Dahl teaches German at the Deutsches Haus at New York University. She has worked on dictionaries and other languages material for Knopf and other publishers.
But I think you're looking at broken data to be honest. I think this book is from Penguin (which owns Crown I think) but doesn't seem to be from Crown. I suspect this is the publisher's product page https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/b...-random-house/

They will go back to $80 at some point this month. I'm happy all the editions have this inscription, wish I had gotten one as bold as yours -- congrats!

So, when Premier Collectables had their "buy 6 books, get 35% off" New Years special, I went through I looked at the $5 specials. Got 3 Junk Gypsy @ $5 each, 1 Michael Vey 3: Battle of the Ampere @ $5 and 2 Never Grow Up (Jackie Chan) @ $100 each. take off 35%. The total for all 6 books was $143. The Jackie Chan ended up @ $65 each with discount. I also got free shipping. Was surprised it went through.

If anyone is a classic rock fan, this Graham Nash book is a good deal. Please note this is not his first book signing and these are probably not for flippers. I am getting this one despite having another of his signed books just because it's illustrated.

BAM Charles Soule books just arrived. Books are nice, autos are tip-ins and definitely are not auto pen and have at least two variants:

I got mine yesterday from BAN, ball point pen. I actually tried to cancel it because I have one coming from Soule's website, he put up two limited batches where he'll personalize and do a doodle or quote or something, but they're not shipping until later this week. At least I get to read it now, been really looking forward to it.

It's now been more than a month since placing my order with Premiere Collectibles, and it still hasn't shipped. I get frequent emails from them about whatever nonsense sale they have going on, so it doesn't seem like it'd be that much harder for them to send out a generic email explaining that they're backed-up and working on the problem. Or they could just put a message on their website... basically anything that acknowledges that their fulfillment times are garbage and that they're trying to improve it rather than just radio-silence.

FWIW, I just received shipping for an order I placed on 11/27 a couple of days back. I had forgotten about it, and it was one where they did a refund for one of the books, but the shipping notice shows the refunded book as being shipped, so maybe they have been buying up books to fill the orders?

From one of my emails with them, I got the impression they sold way more than expected and had to find new sources to get books.

I've seen some really older books pop up recently there, some with 5 or less copies available.

In case anyone misses this e-mail, I just got an update from Barnes & Noble about my four "Out of Many, One: Portraits of America's Immigrants" autos:

Thank you, I added the Joe Kenda for my wife to make it a worth while order to pull the trigger on the Kenda.

hopefully no repeat where B&N cancels at the last minute on the Stines.
