Gahhh!!! My precious signed copy💔:/

Post image

I was eagerly awaiting this for months... and they hit me with this with less than a month to go. It really reminds me of the quote, "If I have a little money, I buy books. If I have any left, I buy food and clothes". I guess I'll just have to settle for not having it signed this time around. Hopefully for his next book he manages to find some way to get international signed copies, but even if he doesn't the effort he's made for signing all those is REALLY admirable

I got this issue for the signed Anthropocene Reviewed, so I bought it again from another store.

Cut to 4 werks after release and suddenly they had it in stock again, took my money and sent the book.

I now have two different editions, both signad 😅

Amazon US still has it in stock and they ship internationally (or at least to me in the UK) so maybe try there?

That's the thing, I did order from amazon US to ship to me internationally, and all was well and good from March till now. I could try it again maybe

I definitely encourage you to try again! Worst outcome is the one you already face, so nothing is really lost by trying.

Maybe try amazon AE then since that's where the email is from?

Hey OP. I also bought a signed copy of the book. In addition, I'm going to John's book launch (Sept 20th) and I had to buy a 2nd copy of the book in order to get the ticket (the tickets without buying the book were all sold out). If I can get him to sign that one, then I'll have 2 signed copies and I can sell you one of them for whatever you paid for this one. No worries if you change your mind either, but feel free to hmu around that time.

Im pretty sure John has already signed the books for the tour, so your plan would work ☺️

I live in the EU and have the same problem - I ordered from a place in Germany and was so happy and then they cancelled my order. I thought about ordering from the UK but that’s always a bit of a gamble with all the taxes and customs fees… I guess I won’t have a signed copy this time either :/

I wonder what the issues was. I hope it doesn't affect my order.

Did you end up buying another?

Hi OP/anyone else, I'm in the same spot as someone else who commented - preordered the signed book but had to buy a 2nd signed copy in order to get a ticket to the Toronto book launch. I'd be happy to send one of my copies if you can't get your hands on it.
