Where Can I Buy A Signed Brandon Sanderson Novella Online?

I usually take a faster, more practical route when I’m hunting signed novellas. First, I check Brandon’s official store for signed bookplates and special drops, because those are the most likely to be authentic and reasonably priced. If that doesn’t turn anything up, my go-to secondhand places are AbeBooks, Biblio, and eBay — set alerts for the specific novella title (for instance 'Legion' or 'Snapshot') and the words signed/signed by.

I also follow Subterranean Press and a couple of specialist signed-book dealers since they sometimes release limited editions. When buying used, I always ask the seller for a photo of the signature, the book’s ISBN/edition info, and whether there’s a COA or numbering. If you’re comfortable with forums, swap communities and Reddit threads can lead to bargains or trades. Little tip: signed bookplates are a good fallback if a signed binding is too pricey.

If you want a signed Brandon Sanderson novella, I get the excitement — signed Cosmere stuff feels like a tiny collectible treasure. The first place I always check is his official site (brandonsanderson.com/bookstore). He often sells signed bookplates and, from time to time, signed or signed-and-numbered editions of novellas directly through his store or special drops tied to events. I’ve snagged a signed bookplate there before and stuck it in a pristine copy of 'Legion' — it’s a cheap, legit way to get his signature without paying collector prices.

For more formal signed or limited editions, keep an eye on small presses like Subterranean Press and PS Publishing. They’ve produced limited or signed runs of Sanderson novellas in the past — I’m thinking of special releases for things like 'Snapshot' and some of his shorter works. Those sell out fast, but they pop up secondhand on sites like AbeBooks, Biblio, and Alibris. I once spent a lazy Sunday trawling Biblio and found a nice Subterranean copy in like-new condition; patience and setting saved searches really help.

If you’re okay buying used, eBay and the Amazon marketplace are obvious options, but be picky: ask for photos of the signature and check seller ratings. Signed bookplates are another route — sometimes sold separately on the official site or by sellers on Etsy — and they’re often personalized, so ask if the signature is personalized or blank if that matters to you. Also don’t forget Kickstarter and convention routes: Sanderson’s special edition Kickstarters and his convention signings historically included signed copies or signature options, so if another campaign launches or he announces tour dates, those are prime opportunities.

A few quick tips from my own hunts: always request provenance photos (a clear shot of the signature, and any numbering or COA), check the edition details (publisher, ISBN, limited/numbered?), and factor shipping and customs into the cost if you’re outside the seller’s country. Collector shops and forums (Reddit’s Sanderson communities, or Facebook groups for signed books) can also tip you off to listings or swaps. Good luck — happy hunting, and I hope you nab a copy that makes you grin on opening night.
