I have the Masters of Darkness special edition book signed by most of the authors. (Stephan King, Ray Bradbury, Robert Bloch, and more.) I also have Real Peace signed by Nixon. How about you?

I have:

Still Life With Woodpecker - Tom Robbins

& my crown jewel:

MST3k Episode Guide - signed by the cast!

I recently moved to Denver not to far from one of the greatest bookstores in America: THE TATTERED COVER. They hose author readings/signings about 5 times a week.

I've been there many times now, getting books signed by ORSON SCOTT CARD, george pelecanos, JEFF LOGAN, dennis lehane, and a few others. I'd say in all, I have about 30 signed, hardcover first editions.

It's great to meet the authors and hear their stories on writing and breaking into the biz. Totally gives you motivation to write your own stories.

b2k: agreed that the Tattered Cover is a great bookstore. I've been there many times.

Personally, I have an autographed first edition of "Side Effects" by Woody Allen.

The Great And Secret Show - Clive Barker
Imajica - Clive Barker
Sin City - Frank Miller (ok, it's a graphic novel)

To Kill a Mockingbird -- Harper Lee
Goodbye, Columbus -- Philip Roth

The Agony & the Ecstasy - Irving Stone
Stealing Is My Game - Lou Brock
Strip Tease - Carl Hiassen
Pronto - Elmore Leonard
& the pride & joy of my collection - a battered paperback copy signed to me by the author:
Mirror Friend, Mirror Foe - George Takei

Choke - Chuck Palahniuk

That's it so far... but with Powell's rare book room calling my name, I feel I'll need to get a library for my house someday

I have Dear Salmoneus signed by Robert Trebor, but that's it.

~Scheherazade

I've got a signed reviewer's copy of Stephen King's Bag of Bones.

"Sacrament" by Clive Barker
"All Tomorrow's Parties" by William Gibson
"Interview With the Vampire" by Anne Rice
"Lost Souls" by Poppy Z. Brite
"Swamp Foetus" by Poppy Z. Brite (slipcased, LTD Hardcover)
"Live Girls" by Ray Garton
"Are You Loathesome Tonight" by Peter Straub (actually the limited edition story collection by Poppy Z Brite, buy Straub wrote the introducion)
"Neverwhere" by Neil Gaiman (as well as various SANDMAN and DEATH comics.)

No Stephen King. Yet...

Probably about forty or fifty more autographed books, too, but these are the ones that stick in my head at the moment.

If Chins Could Kill by Bruce Campbell

A Writer's Tale by Richard Laymon

Magic Terror by Peter Straub

The Darker Saints by Brian Hodge

Falling Idols by Brian Hodge

Swan Song by Robert McCammon

The Events at Poroth Farm by T.E.D. Klein

I think that's it. I'd love to get some autographed Clive Barker or Stephen King books someday.

nope...

Sweet! Did you get Joel or Mike to sign it? Or both?

I have an autographed poster for the MST3k movie, signed by Mike and Kevin.

Its got Mike, Trace, Jim, & Mary Jo

1st Editions Signed by the author

Black Alley - Mickey Spillane
Desperation - Stephen King
Watchers - Dean Koontz
They Thirst and Wolf's Hour (ARC) - Robert McCammon
Black Dahlia, The Big Nowhere, L. A. Confidential, White Jazz - all signed by James Ellroy
Sick Puppy - Carl Hiaason
Breathing Lessons - Anne Tyler

Eyes of Prey - John Sandford
The Fool's Run - John Camp
(fyi, John Sandford is the pseudonym for author John Camp, who published his first novels under his real name, then started the pseudonym for the "Prey" series, so I have him "both ways")

So jealous...

I know it's a typo, but...

My Fight Club DVD and Choke signed by Chuck Palahniuck
Voyage of the Jerle Shannara and Magic Kingdom for Sale: Sold! signed by Terry Brooks
The Eye of the World and Winter's Heart signed by Robert Jordan

All signed in person.

I have most of Anne Rice's Vampire books signed, except for the last two. I'm looking for a signed copy of Vonnegut's, Mother Night ( Its my favorite of his).

Books 5-8 (I think) of the Wheel of Time by Jordan.

I just made a list of all my books, and I realized I have roughly 40 books that are signed by the author. Of 260 first edition hardcovers, that's not a bad ratio.

By the way, is it just me, or are girls who read totally hot?!?!?!

No, it's not just you. Girls who read, enjoy independent and thought provoking cinema and music beyond the mainstream are hot. I've always been attracted to girl who are intellectual and creative/artisitic.

As for signed books, the only one I have is Nicole Blackman's book of poetry, Blood Sugar.
