Uncle Hugo's has many books to sell you
...and all of mine are signed. I was over there today to catch up on their stock.

They do mail order to all seven continents.
Speaking of signed editions, I see B&N still has some of these...

I adore Uncle Hugo's and Uncle Edgar's - will head there at Christmas to spend the book money. :)

It's glorious - boxes and boxes of used books cheap, and more new titles than you've heard of. Back in the day, Scott Imes could find you that "urban fantasy book about the guy who I think had a dog as a familiar and maybe there were meerkats in it?" But the current staff is pretty darned good at ferreting things out too. And you can sell some old books back to make shelf space (although never enough...)

One time I found a signed copy of Brothers in Arms at the old Little Professor bookstore in Worthington (Ohio) mall... I wondered if you'd snuck in and signed some surreptitiously, as it was just in with the rest of the paperbacks!

If new, I have no idea -- it's been years since I was back in Columbus. If this was more than a decade ago, it might well have been a leftover from some drop-by signing, which is a ritual some traveling and ambitious authors go through, often to the dismay of the interrupted bookstore clerks.
Drop-by signings are also a thing one does while on a real book tour, mainly to kill time while waiting for one's formal gig, I suspect. The handler, if you have one, ferries you around to all the stores you are not going to be appearing at to sign whatever new stock they have ordered on those all-important first of weeks of launch, and to briefly schmooze. More often than not, the copies are few to none and the bookstore has never heard of you, which is why the handler calls first, to avoid driving 45 minutes (each way) for nothing.
The economics of bookstore tours are pretty baffling.

It was new, so the drop-by sounds more likely. It was not long after you'd signed my copy of "Vor Game" at Marcon, so I was happy to suddenly have two, rather than one, signed copies in my collection. <3
Gil wrote: "Do you ever do events or readings there?"I've done signings when a new book comes out. There isn't enough space at the Uncles to do a reading, as the place is pretty much piled to the walls and ceiling with books. (Buy some! Reduce the book-avalanche hazard!)
I keep their backstock signed, however. You can get personalizations by arrangement, but the lead time is irregular.

Lois, you may need to go back and sign some more, they were out of a few when I bought a couple of your books. I asked them to let me know when/if you got back for another signing. Thanks for the heads up. Ok, more than a couple.
Ok, fine, a lot.
You are one of three authors I have purchased signed copies of their works. You will go on the shelf next to Heinlein and King. I wanted to thank you for the hours (years?) of reading enjoyment you have provided for me since you started writing.
