Same boat here. Guessing Jack isn’t around to sign.

In the same boat (probably literally in the same boat)

He also has signed bottles of his new bourbon available at a number of grocery stores in chicago. It's red sharpie on a white paper label. About $55 including taxes. For whatever reason a number of celebrities lately have done liquor launches there-Akroyd, Ed Belfour, Pink Whitney etc.

This is a great deal until they cancel your order....just got the Sopranos book cancelled yesterday (I didn't think that was a big seller...).

I understand retailers have to cancel orders sometimes. It happens. But the way they closed out my order for The Boys and then claimed they tried to reach out to me about a billing issue ... okay so I asked them when they tried and they just keep closing the ticket and telling me to reorder the book that will never be available again. Be honest at least, don't gaslight me. Done with BAM permanently.

BAM lost my business years ago when they refused to update an address for a pre-order signed book. They refunded but of course the book was sold out at that point and unavailable. i never had an issue with B&N or other places updating an address. When they place pre-orders 6 or more months out on some items, updates are necessary sometimes.

I hear everybody's complaints about BAM. I also had my Dave Grohl book cancelled. Now I use them as a backup. I have already ordered Mean Baby Autographed by Selma Blair and Out of the Corner Autographed by Jennifer Grey from B&N at normal retail prices. I now have also ordered the same books from BAM for $95.16 before taxes as apposed to $174 from B&N. That's a big saving (if BAM doesn't cancel it). So if BAM does process my order, I will cancel my other orders.

Join me in Santa Monica this Saturday at 10 am PT as I’ll be signing copies of UNGUARDED at Diesel Books (225 26th St).

If you can’t stop by, grab an autographed copy of my book from the link in my bio. Hope to see you this weekend!

first in person book signing I've seen on current book. I'm sure if you called the store they could try on a personalization or confirm what he's signing on.

^ Now this looks like the books will be hard-signed.
After reading the reaction/comments on IG about the book, however, I am hesitating. Better than the bookplates from another site though.

Is anyone here going to order it?

Just got notification that my B&N membership is about to expire. I signed up last year to get discounts on the Obama book and others.

Should I re-up for another year? Anything good coming out this Black Friday?

Got my signed Taylor Swift Red in the mail today.

I want to make sure I'm not missing any of the singed albums that she's done so far.

It's:
Folklore
Evermore
Fearless
Red

That's all of them for now right?.

probably pays for itself and remember folks haven't toured for 2-3 years and don't know what next year brings so they're probably pushing their stuff to online.

No sign of Smith or Grohl on the signed edition banner. Do they typically post a full list on the site or just what people find in stores?

Last year they released a complete (or mostly-complete) list in the press release. This year apparently they didn't, only the "highlights."

I don't suppose someone would be able to grab me a copy of the Dave Grohl book for Black Friday? I am still fighting Indigo over their cancellations but the gist of it is their CSR was lazy and voided my order rather than do his job properly and look into stock status.

Never trusting Indigo again for a pre order.

Son only



Bummer. Also this might be my last Sheeran buy, kinda inopportune location:

There are some of Lover floating around. She offered a presale for signed copies of her singled "Me!". But it was changed to signed Lover booklets instead of the signed single. Grabbed 1 of them, and I think these were only $5 since it was for the single CD. Sold it early last year for $75, but now they go for $275+

Indigo poorly packed my books so both have edge damage AND the signed cards slipped out a bit and have some edge damage as well

I’m contacting customer service about a refund of some amount for this. They said it would be signed affixed bookplates not loose cards in the book.

Good luck with customer service. The first time it took them 2 weeks to answer my email....

I have asked my Tier 3 contact I've been working with if she has a direct email contact. I'll let you know.
