The Poisoned Pen is my local independent bookshop. They carry all my books, in all formats (hardcover, trade paperback, mass-market paperback, audiobook, US and UK editions, plus some miscellaneous foreign-language editions), all the time. And the Pen ships anywhere in the world. {g}
I normally go by the store a couple of times a month, both to buy books for reading (it’s a great store; mysteries are their specialty, but they carry a number of other things, and have a specialty in signed first editions, too), and to sign my own books that people have ordered.
To order an autographed book from the Poisoned Pen:
- Click here to access a list of my books in stock at the Poisoned Pen.
- Go to the Poisoned Pen’s store site, and enter “Gabaldon” in the site’s search feature to find the book you would like. Or…
- On my web site, each of my books has its own page, including an option to order signed copies in the purchasing pull-down menus. Use the BOOKS pull-down menu on my web pages, or use this URL: www.dianagabaldon.com/books
Then be sure to let the Poisoned Pen know how you’d like the book(s) signed (detailed how-to instructions for checkout are below), and I’ll take care of it next time I’m in the store. Note that I’ll be glad to add a short personal inscription, such as “Happy Birthday, Jill!”
If you have any problems, contact The Poisoned Pen by email. Or call them at (888) 560-9919 toll free or at (480) 947-2974. (Full contact information is below.)
