How Would I Do This?

[Carri20]

I want to get my fiance a special gift, not for any specific occasion but just to show my appreciation for who he is. I would really like to get him a hardcover copy of one of his favorite books with the author's autograph on the inside. Does anyone know how I would do that? I have the author's mailing address, so I was thinking I would buy the book and mail it to her along with a letter telling her how much my fiance and I like her work, and asking if she could jot something for him. Should I include a check for s&h? As you can probably tell, I've never done this before. If I send the stuff out and never get a reply, it really doesn't matter to me that I won't get the book back or the money...no big loss...I just have to try and see what happens.

Possible, alternatively, see if they Author is touring in your area for a booksigning..

but if you mail the author, make certain to attach a note saying how special the ocasion it.

Weigh the package and see how much postage it will take. Enclose a mailer addressed back to yourself with the same amount of postage on it. then all the author hads to do is oppen it, read the note, inscribe the book, and pop it back into the other envelope to mail,.

Painless and simple
