Art Print: Walker Boh

Hi Shannara Fans,

Walker Boh has long been a favorite character for Shannara readers.

Well, 20 years ago, I helped artist Terese Nielsen paint Walker for a Dragon Magazine cover. It was great fun working with her. We managed to put Walker on board the Jerle Shannara as he is sailing to Parkasia. And I think the results speak for themselves. It’s a gorgeous painting that I wish I had purchased at the time!

The Terry Brooks Community on Facebook has a robust collecting component to it, with members scouring the internet(s) to find rare Brooks merchandise. That copy of Dragon Magazine pops up often. And recently, someone reached out to Terese Nielsen about an art print of “Walker Boh.” And a few people have already received them, which is pretty cool.

Since I like giving you guys what you want, I reached out to Terese about producing however many art prints we need to help you collectors. And even if you aren’t a collector but what this gorgeous print on your wall, well, now you can make that happen! The Signed Page is accepting pre-orders for an archival-quality 17″x22″ art print of Walker Boh. Terese will sign and Terry will sign, making the art print… wait for it… double-signed!

So pre-order now. And we’ll get this going.

With Druid Magic,
Shawn

eBay Auctions: Name of the Wind & Unfettered

Hi Signed Book Enjoyers,

As I said yesterday, I’ve been preparing The Signed Page warehouse for the delivery of Terry Brooks books. A lot of them. And as I’ve been organizing, I’ve found a lot of cool books I didn’t know I had.

Well, today I found two that… I just couldn’t believe. A 1st/1st Unfettered multi-signed by Terry Brooks, Jacqueline Carey, Todd Lockwood, Peter Orullian, Patrick Rothfuss, Brandon Sanderson, and myself. And I found a copy of The Name of the Wind 10th Anniversary Edition triple-signed by Patrick Rothfuss, Dan Dos Santos, and Nate Taylor.

Needless to say, I can’t just put this up on The Signed Page. They are almost priceless, in my opinion. So to be fair, I’ve placed them up on eBay. In this way, everyone has a chance at them.

Visit The Signed Page on eBay: https://www.ebay.com/usr/the-signed-page

Back to work for me!

Happy Friday & Happy Bidding,
Shawn

Announcement: $10 Summer Sale Books

Hi Everyone,

I hope this summer finds you well and reading great books!

I am preparing my warehouse for the arrival of The Scions of Shannara and Indomitable by Terry Brooks, and I realized I have a lot of slightly-damaged books that should go to better homes. I also found some books I didn’t know I had. Almost all of these have dust jackets that feature some small ding on a corner or spine. Some are signed, some are not. All will be $10 because I want to move them quickly and get the room I need for the arrival of Terry’s books.

Here is a list of my $10 Summer Sale Books. Click on the title links to order:

Feel free to share this Summer Sale with your friends, families, and those SF&F communities you think make sense. I’m excited to ship out new books for you to enjoy this summer! Reading is life, ya know?

With Summer Magic,
