The copies of Neil Gaiman's new novel, American Gods, on display at my local Barnes and Naboo are signed. Goddamn!

*whimpers* Signed Neil?

That's a cruel thing to do to a poor Aussie living in a country town where it takes _months_ for new books to hit the shelves and a maxed-out credit card and Amazon.com keeps tormenting me too with emails telling me it's out... Oh well, I'll have to look for it in Canada next month.

Look at it this way...you'll probably get it in Canada sooner than Amazon could mail it to you in AU, even if you sent for it today.

So did you get one?

Are you implying that I would be unable to exercise enough self-control to keep from spending the money that had been budgeted for other, more vital needs, and instead blow it on oh hell yeah I bought it.

I can go a week without soda. Twitch, twitch.

I just bought a my own copy of American Gods. No Gaiman autograph. Wahhhh!!!!

Well, crap.

I looked on mine, and the title page says it's a signed first edition of 5,000 copies, and there's a little round gold sticker on the jacket.

It could be autopenned, however - I'd have to compare a couple to be sure.
