KEYSIGNED™ collectible books
-- an Emerald City exclusive!

A KEYSIGNED™ book is a collectible book in which the author has inscribed a thoughtful word, phrase or sentence from the book's pages, along with his or her inimitable signature. When you acquire a KEYSIGNED™ book from Emerald City, you become the owner of a rare collectible title that reflects the distinctive personality of its author.

A KEYSIGNED book may be inscribed with the opening or closing sentence, a seminal phrase, or perhaps the author's favorite line. Keysigned books are almost always personally obtained by our staff, and the choice of keysigning arises in conversation with the author. You will find a summary of the significance of a particular keysigned inscription in our on-line description of the title. You can see our current inventory of keysigned books right here.

For more about keysigned books, please read our upcoming column on books and bookcollecting, The Fine Print, in the most recent edition of the Emerald City Gazette; sign up to receive it electronically here.
