Signed, Personalized Copies of Books

A question for those of you who read the blog and for those of you who just happened to be stopping by…

Do you think people would like to be able to purchase signed, personalized copies of my books over this website? I’ve been bouncing the idea around for about a month. It would work like this: If you want to buy a book and have me sign and personalize, you’d simply follow the prompts on the website. Payment would be through PayPal or a credit card. There would be a box for you to type in the personalization you’d like on the book and the address you’d like the book sent to. Once an order comes in, I’d order the book from my print on demand distributor. The book would come to me, I’d sign it the way you want it signed, and mail it to you.

The biggest drawback, as I see it, is double postage. The paper books are retailing for $14.99 now. (The cost for paper books is going up steadily.) With the double postage, I’d have to charge $24.99 for the book to make it worth my time and effort.

So what do you think?
