Dear fellow FlatSigned VIP members and friends,

On a very special, personal note, my right-hand-man and nephew Mike Cotter got married on Saturday. All of you now know Mike, who married his long-time friend Katie Higgs, and I was the Best Man. The last few weeks have been hectic with all the pomp and circumstance surrounding this big-time wedding. It was a first class event and Mike and Katie are now in Jamaica, enjoying their honeymoon. This is a great time for all of you to show Mike that my old bones are still important here at FlatSigned, so keep those orders coming, adding my books to your growing, personal collection. It would make me proud and feel wonderful for Mike to come back in just one week and see record numbers of sales. Mike has become the key person talking with you, all my friends out there, taking your orders and answering your needs. These sales will also help defray the costs of that very special Honeymoon given to Mike and Katie which was on me and I was proud to do this for Mike and Katie.

John Grisham
SIGNS Back onto the book news from Nashville, the one and only John Grisham was here and he graciously signed around 200 books for FlatSigned. He could not of been more kind. We took lots of photographs and each John Grisham book sold in the coming days will come with pictures of John signing your books. This adds value and authentication to each book you order. We were able to get all varieties of his very first book "Time to Kill" including three rare copies of the true first, Wynwood Press. "The Firms" and every other title of Grisham's novels were also signed by Grisham and are now available to you to fill that slot in your growing collection of autographed books. Check out the very special deals below. I will match or beat any price from any other reputable bookseller. You win when someone with the importance of John Grisham signs books for FlatSigned! Beware that people like David Wicks AKA "The Dustjacket" of Miami, Florida sell fakes and deliberately undercut the prices of reputable booksellers. If you get a great deal on a fake autograph, that is not a great deal. I would not say something so important of this if I was not positive of what I say. David is well know with insiders of what he has done now for ten years. I have reported him to the police and other officials.

Back onto a positive note, the last of the Harry Potter series will soon be released and I am now taking pre-orders for this title and will do my very best to get autographed copies too! See more information and links to buy the new book from J.K. Rowling below. Last week many of you ordered this book and the number of copies will be limited so order now!

A Time to Buy John Grisham!
 

grishamAs one of the most prominent figures in modern literature, John Grisham has taken the media by storm. He has become a household name through his many best-sellers and Hollywood elite such as Julia Roberts, Tom Cruise and Samuel L. Jackson are just a few of the superstars who have taken Grisham’s work to blockbuster big screen success. Very few authors have Grisham’s status as a media tycoon.

However, Grisham was not always in the limelight. His first book, 1989’s A Time to Kill, was published in a very limited quantity of 5,000 and upon release, the book sold only a handful of copies before being considered a flop. Grisham himself bought back all of the remaining books from the printing, which he gave away to friends & fans. After the incredible popularity of his second book, The Firm, Grisham quickly gained a devoted following, which prompted Doubleday to reissue a new edition of the forgotten first book. The previously ignored work, A Time to Kill, then went on to sell over eleven million copies in the United States alone. Grisham became the best-selling author of the nineties with many of his books including his first two, The Rainmaker, The Client, & The Chamber each becoming major motion pictures. The rarity of the original Wywood Press edition of A Time To Kill and the unique American Dream success story behind the book has lead to the book becoming one of the most highly sought after First Editions for any book collection.

As any book collector can tell you, signed limited edition books can be an impressive addition to any home library, as well as a terrific investment for the future. Grisham’s collected set of limited edition novels have become the most popular and most expensive of any modern active author. Housed in protective cases, the handsome leather-bound novels are some of the best books anyone can add to their personal collection.

We at Flatsigned love Grisham. We have been blessed and very fortunate enough to have established a relationship with him and he has signed books for us on several occasions. Not needing the publicity, Grisham rarely autographs his books anymore, making these signed books more and more unique as time passes. We are proud to own one of the largest Grisham collections in the world and to be able to offer a few of his rarest and greatest works to you, our VIP customers.
