    Received a signed copy from Strand Books today. Big signature across the top of the inside title page. Very cool. 
    did you get a shipping email from them?  I had ordered one and haven't heard a thing about it since the order confirmation email they sent last month.

    I got a shipping notification on the 9th. If it helps, I ordered on May 15th. I know that the verbiage on the sale page was that they would sell what was signed and left over. I don't know if Mike signed enough copies based on orders or if it was truly just what they had leftover. I can imagine that folks who ordered later may not get one, but I hope that isn't the case. 

    Good luck!

    I do remember seeing that part, I guess I was hoping they wouldn't oversell.  thanks for the info!

    Well worth the wait. Thanks Mike!
    anyway you'd want to trade your autograph for mine? The autograph I have is signed and says "live and let live".   Long road is my absolute favorite pj song.

  • Thanks mcgruff but I'll be keeping this! Long Road was my very first live PJ song played at Wembley Arena on June 18th, the same date my grandfather passed away. It's a mega special song and it feels a bit like fate that I ended up getting this one.

    I pre-ordered a signed copy from the Strand but they weren't able to fulfill it because they ran out.  On a whim I emailed the Elliot Bay Book Co. and they still had some leftover so I was able to order one from them.  they were super nice over email.  If anyone is looking for a signed copy they probably still have some!

    When did you order from Strand??  I ordered mine 5/23/17 and haven't got any email about fulfilling or shipping.  Just wondering if I'm out of luck on it.  Will email them.

    So I had to email Strand to find out that my order was not fulfilled and therefore cancelled.  WTF.  Nice of customer service to let me know...

    I had to email them too to find out.  their website says if they run out they will email you and let you know, but they never did.  Look up the Elliot Bay Book Co. where Mike did the other signing, they still had some.  they emailed me back right away and the girl was super nice.  same price, $38 shipped by media mail.
