So, Again, the lesson here? Buy signed copies whenever possible! Even if you don't have signed copies, it might be fun to see if you have any of these books on your shelves (in all honesty, I only have five in this list, although I've eyed quite a few in the bookstore). And if you don't have any? Well, now you have a great reading list courtesy of Independent bookstores everywhere!
