Well, see...Aside scrawling our signatures across the "Praise for the Liaden Universe" page, or signing a sheet of paper to be "bound in" as we say, should the winner of the auction go ahead and have the book cut, trimmed, and bound -- there's no place to sign it. The book is uncut, so we can't get to the title or to the half-title, where there would be room to sign.
One would think that I would realize (after 20 years in the printing business) that the title page usually doesn't end up in the most accessible place in the sig. *sigh* Although I was to a large degree making a poor pun about signatures on signatures.
If I were to be fortunate enough to win this I probably would get it leather bound at some point, although I would ask the authors' permission.
And a big hurrah for Theo's placement on the WSJ best seller list!
