Where Can I Buy Signed Copies Of 'Before We Forget Kindness'?

I’ve been obsessed with tracking down signed copies of 'Before We Forget Kindness' ever since I finished the last page—it’s that kind of book that sticks to your ribs, you know? The hunt for signed editions can feel like a treasure chase, but let me spill the spots I’ve scoured or heard whispers about.

Your best shot is hitting up the author’s official website or social media. A lot of writers now sell signed copies directly through their online stores, especially during book launches or anniversaries. I’ve scored a few gems this way, and the bonus is knowing it’s legit. If they’re active on platforms like Twitter or Instagram, keep an eye out for flash sales or signed pre-orders—those go fast, though.

Independent bookshops are another goldmine. Stores like Powell’s or The Strand sometimes score signed stock from author events, and their online listings update sporadically. I once snagged a signed Margaret Atwood novel from a tiny shop in Seattle just by refreshing their page at midnight. For 'Before We Forget Kindness,' try emailing local stores near the author’s hometown; they often have connections.

Conventions and literary festivals are where the magic happens. Even if you can’t attend, some events sell leftover signed copies online afterward. I remember a friend grabbing a signed Neil Gaiman book from a Comic-Con leftovers sale. And don’t sleep on eBay or AbeBooks—but vet sellers ruthlessly. Check for photos of the signature, read reviews, and avoid listings that smell like photocopied autographs. The thrill of the hunt is real, but so are the scams.

If all else fails, try reaching out to the publisher. Smaller presses, especially, might have a few signed copies lying around. I once got a heartfelt reply from a publicist who dug one out of storage for me. Persistence pays off—this book deserves a signature, and you deserve the bragging rights.

As someone who lines their shelves with signed books like trophies, I totally get the desperation to own 'Before We Forget Kindness' with that personal ink touch. Here’s the dirt: start with Bookshop.org. They partner with indie stores nationwide and occasionally list signed editions—filter by ‘signed’ or ‘collectible.’ I snagged a signed Celeste Ng there last year.

Author events are low-key the holy grail. Even if the event’s passed, bookstores hosting them sometimes sell extras. I called every store within 50 miles after missing a Carmen Maria Machado reading and scored the last signed copy in Ohio. True story. Also, follow the author’s Goodreads page; they’ll often announce signings or collaborations with shops like Barnes & Noble’s Signed Editions program.

For the online-savvy, Reddit’s r/bookshelf and Discord collector groups are weirdly helpful. I traded tips there and found a signed copy of 'Piranesi' from a user in Norway. Just be ready for some wild goose chases—collectors are a passionate bunch.

A cheeky trick? Check libraries. Some sell donated signed books in fundraising sales. My local library’s annual sale had a signed David Sedaris hidden in a $2 bin. For 'Before We Forget Kindness,' it’s worth stalking used-book sites like ThriftBooks, too. I’ve seen signed gems pop up under ‘good condition’ listings.

Last resort: commission a bookplate. Some authors offer signed bookplates via their websites—it’s not the same as a signed title page, but it’s still their handwriting. Either way, the chase is half the fun. Happy hunting!
