Troy Posted December 18, 2020 Report Share Posted December 18, 2020 I regularly visit Black-owned books stores, not so much in the past year for obvious reasons, but in one store I noticed this book; an autographed copy of Obama's memoir, Promised Land. This version retails for $350 but I doubt you'll find a copy selling for that much. I've seen the book priced at $1,000 or more. Copies with the signature page removed are selling for $150. The crazy thing is that I was not aware of the book prior too seeing it in the store. The bookseller of the store I saw it in (I'm deliberately not naming the store) told me the publisher only offered him two copies. I don't how many were produced or what book stores got copies and how many they got. Any bookseller lucky enough to get a few copies was given a gift from the publisher.

Troy Posted December 21, 2020 Author Report Share Posted December 21, 2020 Another bookseller I spoke to got one copy and raffled it off. They got 300 people to buy a raffle tickets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troy Posted December 31, 2020 Author Report Share Posted December 31, 2020 I've obtained two copies of this book and will be raffling one copy off shortly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
