They didn’t have the Joni Mitchell book but an employee checked and a store in Oklahoma City had 1 copy in stock so they held it for me and I drove there to buy that one. If you are a B&N member everything is 10 percent off. The Obama was $150 and Mitchell was $200. Al others were between $20 and $35. This was advertised very poorly and for some reason they are still calling it a Black Friday sale even though it’s already happening.

Just a heads up the Obama and MacFarlane might be autopen. Several people in FB groups are saying the Obama's are autopen and Seth is a big into autopen/his dad signing autos.

MacFarlane are autopens, as well as some others (Rachel Ray questioned). Here's the blowout thread:

I just compared mine to some examples I found online. The MacFarlane is definitely autopen, and the Obama is definitely not. Thanks for the heads up.

I didn’t even pick up the Family Guy book because I thought it was signed by the author and not McFarlane.

This is mine. I found two for sale on eBay that showed photos of the signature and my paralegal bought one yesterday and the signature on her’s is also different.

Here is my Obama book...She has a consistent signature which may be fooling people into thinking it’s autopen but there are definite differences in mine and Jason’s.

Ok, just passing along other info that I've read on other forums/sites. Someone did say Beckett said the one they bought was auto pen. But all that matters is if you guys are happy, so enjoy.

Here’s a comparison of 8 different signed books that I put together, including the one Steve Grad of Beckett claims is an autopen. As you can see, all 8 are clearly different. They are without a doubt not autopen.
