Brandon's Book Tour

[ArtGuyJoe]

I can tell you, I am very happy that I got into this series late.  Just like one of the other folks mentioned about starting WoT so late, I only have to wait until next month for HoA

[Czanos]

It's less than a month away before Provo!!!! Wooo!

Speaking of which, who all is going? I know Miyabi is planning on it, I am, and Jakobus, I think. Anyone else?

Agreed!  I just discovered the Mistborn series, and finished book 2 last week.  Now I'm reading Elantris while I wait for the Hero of Ages.

I hate waiting for the next book in a series, so I always enjoye it when I find a new to me series that already has a couple of books written.

[Miyabi]

So I just spent around $120 on Sanderson books.  -_-

I bought all three of the signed ones on the site and then I also preordered my copy of HoA for the Provo signing.

I already have a signed copy of Elantris but I lent it to my English teacher two years ago and it came back to me all beaten up. D:  So I got a new one.

This is why I don't loan out my books.

I don't care about the condition of my books, as long as all the words are still legible.  I'm a reader, not a collector.  For the same reason, I rarely buy hardcovers, because I find paperbacks much easier to read.

But like she was an ENGLISH teacher.  I figured it would stay in good condition.

I buy the hardcovers since i read my paperbacks so much they fall apart. As for conditions of books I only have one I really care about first edition copy of ender's game /flex. Just need to buy a glass case.......

NO WAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  That is so amazing! 

[Peter Ahlstrom]

Miyabi, your story about lending out your book is pretty horrifying.

I don't think of myself as a collector, but I guess I sort of am. I like buying the hardbacks of authors I like. I would buy a lot more of them than I do if I could afford it.

I'm a bit more of a collector when it comes to manga, since I have quite a few that I haven't read the later volumes of yet...but I still get most of my manga for free, which makes collecting much easier...

Curse you and your connection!

ha ha.

When I was in Japan two years ago I bough all of the Naruto that were currently out.  A few of them got damaged traveling and a few more just from random occurrences.  But it's really nice to have all of them. ha ha. :]

I feel the same way... For some reason, when I buy used books, I enjoy it when there are notes in the margins.  Now there is a limit to this, if the notes are all over and obscuring the book itself, then I don't enjoy it...obviously.

I am also going to the Provo signing.

P.S. I feel a little weird posting a link to someone's personal blog here but since I found it via google I figured it'd be ok.

Yep. That's me who made it. Here's the original thread about it:

Woo Hoo! We finally have a location for the DC signing! Though its on the complete wrong side of the city for me.

I've got the same problem.  It is an incredible schlep to get to Bailey's Crossroads from my office, especially on a week night with rush hour traffic.

It will be TOTALLY worth it, though!
