The Signed Page is a service provided by Shawn Speakman of Suvudu. Speculative fiction authors stop in at The Signed Page to sign stacks of their books for fans. Sometimes they’ll write personalized messages, too. Readers can purchase these special first editions for reasonable prices. Shawn also takes photos of the authors signing their books. I enjoyed looking through these!
Jacqueline Carey told us about The Signed Page. She says, “Strictly speaking, The Signed Page in Seattle, Washington isn’t a bookstore, but owner and proprietor Shawn Speakman provides a great service in making signed copies of selected books available to fans who wouldn’t otherwise have the opportunity. I truly appreciate all his hard work! Here’s a photo of me seated on a throne of signed copies of Naamah’s Blessing, along with fellow fantasy author Peter Orullian.”
You can 
purchase one of these copies of Naamah’s Blessing at The Signed Page for $31.99. I can attest that it’s truly a gorgeous book. Kelly recently reviewed it (she loved it).
Other SFF authors who’ve recently been in to sign books include George R.R. Martin, Patrick Rothfuss, China Miéville, Scott Westerfeld, Patricia Briggs, Richard Kadrey, Terry Brooks, and Erin Morgentern. Of course, there’s plenty more. Just take a look at The Signed Page. You can also follow Shawn’s signing and shipping updates at Twitter.

FANLIT is most awesome. I was just curious to see if we had reviewed Peter Orullian’s book that’s pictured here, and yeah “We been there and done that.” :)
Nice to see The Signed Page featured in this column. It’s an awesome concept, and more people should know about it. Great idea to include this in the Great Bookstores series!
Thanks to Jacqueline Carey for the information and photo!
The Signed Page is a wonderful idea. Peter Orulian should practice holding his book so that the title shows.
