I still yearn for the La Nora bobblehead that went around a few years ago.<br /><br />And this makes me wonder how much the notes JK Rowling wrote on HP would go for.<br /><br />Better yet how much I'd pay for Back to the Future collectibles. I love that movie to distraction.Melissa Bluehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13490002585173653121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8343238.post-29461970458101134372012-02-22T10:30:07.649-05:002012-02-22T10:30:07.649-05:00I love collectibles for readers, especially if it ...I love collectibles for readers, especially if it ties in with the book, has a personal touch, etc. My signed books are precious to me and never get loaned out...I just taunt my friends and family with them and encourage them to go buy their own, haha. Suzanne Brockmann has done a lot with her virtual signings and has character trading cards with her latest release, I think it's a swell idea. The Bookloop I got from you is one bookmark I make sure to not lose, I think a special edition one would be really cool! I just pre-ordered Nightborn using an Amazon gift card I won for writing a review of Eloisa James' latest book. I tell you, I should start playing the lottery. ;-)Emilyhttp://tebottebot.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8343238.post-20206426514612383152012-02-22T08:47:14.748-05:002012-02-22T08:47:14.748-05:00I don't have anything collectible from books. ...I don't have anything collectible from books. But your Breaking Dawn flower reminds me of a movie collectible I do have. I worked for a company that made children's videos, and while I was there we made our first feature film. As a memento for everyone who worked on the film, we cut up a copy of an actual film print and sandwiched a few frames of film between two slabs of clear acrylic, which we then had engraved. So every person got a piece of the actual movie. We handed them out randomly, and when I realized I had received some frames from a key part in the movie, I gave it to the producer who was pleased to have that particular segment. I got hers in exchange.<br /><br />PS - I enjoyed the <i>Breaking Dawn Part 1</i> movie far more than I enjoyed the book - I finished the movie. Can't say the same about the book.Lynn Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13444488890483608914noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8343238.post-62769053890898804702012-02-21T23:24:42.218-05:002012-02-21T23:24:42.218-05:00I have a bunch of Kim Harrison collectible stuff f...I have a bunch of Kim Harrison collectible stuff from her signings over the years-a keychain with handcuffs advertising Dead Witch Walking, wooden coins, a burning bunny pin, packet of tomato seeds and the like. <br /><br />I like them because in one way or another they tie in to the book they advertise. :) Memorable and kinda nifty.DeeCeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01429422379796990633noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8343238.post-49876680977903266512012-02-21T18:24:49.176-05:002012-02-21T18:24:49.176-05:00I only own one book-related collectible; a stuffed...I only own one book-related collectible; a stuffed Norbert the Norwegian Ridgeback from Harry Potter. Wait, two, I have a statue of Gandalf the Grey. For the most part, collectible=something I do not have space for (5 people, 1 cat, 1300 square feet) so it has to be something really meaningful.Charlene Tegliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01483186891214783397noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8343238.post-46563277269003838312012-02-21T17:52:43.977-05:002012-02-21T17:52:43.977-05:00I love signed copies (thanks to you again!) and I ...I love signed copies (thanks to you again!) and I noticed that Rob Thurman is having her readers suggest a playlist for her upcoming book and then choosing the songs for a unique soundtrack that she'll then give to one of her "reavers". She also sent a cool email valentine from Cal, which was not only funny but contained wallpapers, cover art pics and promo music from several series.Anne V.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8343238.post-65594955751086280122012-02-21T13:47:25.540-05:002012-02-21T13:47:25.540-05:00That is so neat.

Every time I read that, it makes me feel amazing. Truly. A little boost when the grind gets to you. <br /><br />It means a lot to have a piece of a great story. I have framed pictures of cover flats I won in a contest. The covers are just unbelievable. <br /><br />I can't wait for <i>Nightborn</i>. :D Your promotional stuff is so personal that it gives an extra bit of love to the gift. <br /><br />:DDawn Montgomeryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13094479667234469671noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8343238.post-65978529816099068752012-02-21T12:04:08.207-05:002012-02-21T12:04:08.207-05:00Okay, this was directly related to your comment, b...Okay, this was directly related to your comment, but do something like the flower but for quilt scraps. Basically, make a quilt using the colors of the characters (referencing a previous post) and give out numbered bookmarks or something with a scrap of the cloth in them, and have a ceremony to draw the number to send one lucky person the actual quilt? But everyone would have a piece of your creative process?Margaret M.

I was especially grateful because I never leave the dust cover on the book as I read and never use the flaps to mark my page. When I removed the dust cover,there was an amazing embosment on the hard cover.

Though I do have a special set of bookmarks that I won as a part of an auction that are specially made. I think I would probably spring a little extra cash if the author/publisher offered something collectible and it is from an author I follow that I probably would get a collectible.Mariahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14610197634075184793noreply@blogger.com
