Signed books are great collectibles; I get them by either attending signings (or asking friends like Charles to grab me a signed copy if I cannot make a signing!), trading a copy of my book (signed, of course), blurbing or reviewing…or, in the case of the two computer books, just by having some talented people work for me.
