The "Surprise Inside"
« on: April 02, 2010, 12:49:04 AM »
For those of us not lucky enough to obtain the signed copies of Brandon's books he leaves in airports, what is the surprise he puts in one of them?

He just Tweeted that he's placed a surprise in a Warbreaker paperback in an airport, and I believe it's at least the second time he's done so (though the first time was in a hardcover The Gathering Storm).

Any answers?

I know back on TGS tour it was usually things like bumper stickers.
"The custom of royalty in referring to oneself is to naturally employ the royal 'we'.  We are very happy, we are very sad, we are bored and suffer from ennui.  For a royal prince there's no such word as 'me', It's always 'we'.  So rightfully I should be two or three, don't you agree?"

According to his Twitter he signed all they had and place a surprise in one. I just want to know what the surprise is.

Do you think he'd place a bumper sticker or something like it in the Warbreaker paperback?

Or who killed Andonalsium.  ;)

It's a decoder ring.

I've been wondering the same thing!  I believe his post was on the 5th so maybe if you can scroll to it - on both of his pages we might find an answer!


Never mind :(  I just checked and no one has mentioned a thing :(

Maybe it's a note with the last two metals on it, AND a decoder ring.

You can always get what you want if you never count the cost.

I imagine he's referring to the prologue for The Way of Kings. So glad I bought the paperback and the Hardcover.

I could be wrong but i believe that the last two metals have been confirmed. Look at the table of metals on his website.

I found out last night that the surprise inside is very much worth it if you can get your hands on one...
"The custom of royalty in referring to oneself is to naturally employ the royal 'we'.  We are very happy, we are very sad, we are bored and suffer from ennui.  For a royal prince there's no such word as 'me', It's always 'we'.  So rightfully I should be two or three, don't you agree?"
