1. Buy Your Books SIGNED!
If you order books through the website of University Bookstore in
Seattle, Richelle will come into the store to sign and personalize
them to you before they ship out. There's no additional charge, and
the store carries most of Richelle's books and will also take
pre-orders. International
orders are also accepted.
Here's how to order. Follow these directions carefully or
you might get an unsigned book sent to you!
1. Go to
University Bookstore's website and search for
Richelle's books. Order the books you want, put them in your
shopping cart, and start the check-out process.
2. On the payment page, there's a comment field. Enter the
following: "Please send me a personalized signed copy (or copies).
Contact Duane Wilkins and author for arrangements." Then write
in who you would like the book or books made out to. Be VERY
specific about the name. Some people say "make it out to me, Joe
Smith" when they really just want it made out to "Joe," not Joe
Smith. So tell us exactly which name should be in the book!
YOU MUST TELL THEM YOU WANT THE BOOK(S) SIGNED. BOOKS DO NOT
COME AUTOMATICALLY SIGNED.
3. Pay for the item and complete your order.
4. Duane'll get in touch with Richelle to stop by and sign the
order, then the books will be mailed to you. Just be advised that
something like this might not ship out the very next day. There may
be a delay before Richelle can stop by. Don't worry--she'll try to
be fast when there's a new order.
5. PLEASE direct all selling type questions (pre-orders, shipping
costs, etc.) to Duane Wilkins (duanewsfbks@lycos.com) and the bookstore, not Richelle.
NOTE: Ordering new books through University Bookstore is the ONLY way to get signed books (aside from going to a signing in your city). You cannot send books you already own, nor can you order signed books through another site, such as B&N or Amazon.
2.
Buy Your Books From The Big
Booksellers
And, of course, you can always order online from "the big guys."
That's cool too! These links will take you directly to
Richelle's book listings on the
Amazon and
Barnes and Noble websites.
Books ordered from these two websites are NOT signed.
3.
Buy Locally
Most bookstores in your area should carry Richelle's titles--especially
the Vampire Academy series. If you can't find her books at your
local store, don't be afraid to ask. The Georgina and Dark Swan
books are often put in strange categories, so you may need help
finding them. And if they don't have the book you want, most any
quality bookstore should be able to order it for you and have it
show up in a week or so.
A Note About Release Dates
The release dates listed on this website are the actual
release dates straight from Richelle's publishers. If you go into a
store after a book's release date, and they say it's not out yet
(this has happened at big chain stores before), then they've made a
mistake. Order the book online instead--say, like, at University
Bookstore listed above.
