Throwback to me sneaking in signatures into my books!
Signing the books after they’re assembled and packed is a logistical nightmare (you don’t want to have to repack and reship books at your home), and I find bookplates to be clumsy…
…but @glennf had this great idea of signing a 100 books in advance at the printer’s, when they were still uncut signatures – so some people would get a nice surprise. Even bought super nice pens just for that occasion. It was a fun moment.
