This is yet another reminder that you can, despite quarrantine, get a signed copy of the Illustrated Edition of Royal Assassin. 

Full instructions are in my previous blogs.  Just scroll down!

For the UK, check with the mentioned bookstores to see if they still have copies with the signed bookplates in them.

For the US, go down one more blog.  There you will find instructions for ordering from The Signed Page or, if you wish the book to have a dedication as well, from the University Book Store in Seattle.

Thanks!

Today is the day!  The Illustrated Edition of Royal Assassin is now available for preorder in the UK!  It has the same wonderful illustrations by Magali Villeneuve  but it has a slightly different binding than the US one.  And of course it has the British spellings!

Weeks ago, I signed a large batch of bookplates and sent them off to the UK.  So, if you act quickly and use one of these links, chances are that you may receive a book with an autographed bookplate.  No promises!  I couldn't sign an infinite number of them, but they are definitely out there.  We've placed them at these bookstores.

Here's the Link to order from Cole's Books. 

And this one is for Forbidden Planet. 

And many thanks to Cole's Books and Forbidden Planet for taking the extra trouble with the bookplates!

Ah, Covid 19, the terrible things you have done to us.  No live readings, no live signing sessions, no book tours, no conventions . . . 

I can offer a tiny opportunity in place of all those lost things.

You can still get a signed copy of the Illustrated Royal Assasin.  

There are two options for this:

Go to The Signed Page.  This site specializes in pristine copies of signed first edtiion hardbacks.  I signed over 700 copies for them, in Shawn's garage, as we masked and kept our distance from each other!  Most of those have already shipped, but there are some left.  (And, oh, yes, you can pre-order a Lindholm books called Wizard of the Pigeons at the same time!)

Go to University Book Store.  I have not yet gone to the store to sign books, so you can still request a dedication.  If you want me to sign your copy or  write something special in the book, like 'Happy Birthday Sally', please note that in the 'comments' box when you order the book. They ship FREE via media mail for orders over $16.  But that is US shipping addresses only.  And while supplies last, you will receive a set of four color prints of art from the book.  

A bright spot: They will also have copies of the Illustrated Edtion of Assassin's Apprentice.  So if you want that book also, to have the first two in matching editions, you can also order it, and I will sign it as well.

UK READERS Please note: As of June 25th, 2020, there will be a UK edition  from HarperCollins Voyager, and it will have the same wonderful illustrations from Magali Villeneuve.  Shipping for that book will be substantially less! So if you live in the UK or Europe, you might consider that volume.  Click on the link above to find many book stores that would be happy for your order!
