Have you gotten your copy of TFIOS yet? If so/when you do, post descriptions/pictures of the signature page. Things like sharpie colour, Hanklerfish (if applicable), Yeti (if applicable), note (if applicable), and apparent status of sharpie ink :P

I’m just really interested in this and really curious about everyone else’s copies. So, yeah. ^_^ THANK YOU JOHN FOR PUTTING UP WITH THE SIGNING PSYCHOSIS AND SIGNING EVERYONE’S BOOK! XD

I got my copy a week ago. No Hanklerfish or Yeti, John’s signature is in black sharpie. ^_^

Isn’t this the tumblr where people will send pictures of their signed TFiOSs? =) This will be interesting!

I was so excited when I got my copy over here in Japan…. but there was no signature! :’( I guess it wasn’t really a “no matter where you order from” deal…. oh well. I can still enjoy the book. ^^;

I just reserved a copy, so I really hope B&N will let me look through all their copies so I can find the coolest one there. xP Tuesday can’t come sooner!

Got mine a day early, apparently (but still abstaining!). I got a red signature, nothing special (i.e., hanklerfishes) though. :)

@Sarah,
All of them are special! :)
John Green picked up a red sharpie and signed this book especially for you!

I got mine today, but I’m not going to read it until midnight because then it will officially be the 10th. :) I checked though, I just got a purple one. Very average, but amazing none the less!
Side note, I wonder if tonight at midnight John will think to himself “Self, there are thousands of people that anxiously waited for this day so they can admire a decade of my hard work.”

@Deby All right, fair enough. :)

I’d start at midnight, but I pulled an all-nighter last night and I don’t want to hurt myself too much more. I’m gonna read it throughout the day tomorrow.

EDIT: Oh, whatever. I’m already a third of the way through. It’s amazing, by the way.

No signature on my copy (from Amazon) :(

But that wasn’t why I bought the book, so I’m still going to enjoy reading it.

I got mine, I went to the first Waterstones and they had four green and one red, nothing else. Fearing the red one was the outcast (and not because I wanted to feel slightly special…) I took that one. I then went to the other Waterstones down the street and there was a selection of reds and greens (and one purple).

None of them had hanklerfishes or yeti’s though in either store. Which was lucky otherwise I might of had 2 copies.

After looking through I immediately decided that the staff had pinched the yetified copies and felt a pang of jealousy. Then I realised I have a signed edition of TFIOS in red – slightly running out but still could be used for a significant amount more copies – pen which was awesome and I shouldn’t be so greedy. It’s now awaiting to be read, after the Ian Rankin and Dawn French books I am in the middle of. (should have been more prepared!)

Red J-scribble. I got mine in the mail 10 minutes ago, and I immediately screamed, “YES!” and ripped the box open.

Looks like amazon is the culprit here. Check out my post in General Discussions called Amazon Dropped The Ball to see what their customer serivce rep had to say about why my book hasn’t shipped yet, and what that likely means.

My brother got his pre-order in the mail today. (I’m getting my copy at the Austin stop) He’s got a blue J-Scribble, and it looks like it was a fairly new Sharpie when John signed that sheet. :)

I picked mine up at Barnes & Noble to find it . . . J-scribble-less D: I was very confused. I already sent John a lengthy email as he requested on his twitter/tumblr.

I got mine today at Barnes and Noble. Some of the ones there were’t signed but the ones that were were all hanklerfished! So I am now the proud owner of a Hanklerfish. :) I cannot wait to sit down properly to read this book.

My signature is light blue. No yeti, no Hanklerfish.

I remember it being mentioned in a video that there were only a few light blue signatures, but I can’t find the video where it was mentioned. Is this true or does my memory fail me?

I got a purple J-scribble, and the sharpie was just starting to be on the wane. Curious to see how the one for the tour event that I got will be. Between these two copies, and the audiobook, I own a lot of copies of it! (Good thing I really ended up loving it!)

I have a plain black J-scribble.

It’s nice, ’cause I always take the covers off my hardcover books. So my J-scribble matches everything.

Still jealous of all y’all’s hanklerfishes, though.

I ordered two copies from a local bookstore in Raleigh in order to get tickets for the TdN event. Imagine my surprise today when I went to go pick them up and they weren’t signed! I asked the woman helping me about it and she seemed confused as to why I thought they would be signed at all… but unfortunately, half the staff at the store seemed confused by the Tour in general. I went over to the display and there were only 5 copies out, two of them signed. I actually wanted to trade my copies for the signed ones, but I decided that they should go to someone who’s not going to meet John and Hank and The Katherine. So while I know my books will not only be signed and Hanklerfished but *personalized* on Saturday, I still feel kind of bummed out that I don’t own a tiny bit of the results of signing psychosis. Selfish of me, I know… but to counteract it, I think I’m going to go out tomorrow and try to find a signed copy for one of my old students… she’s never read any of John’s books and I’m already planning on surprising her with a copy of LfA. :)

I have a beautiful purple J-Scribble with what look likes two big lower case n’s. No Hanklerfish or Yeti D: D: D: !!! Can someone put on here the percentage of all the colours and Hanklerfishes and Yetis and such? And I think we should do pictures. What is the link for the Tumblr anyway???

I got a nice, loopy ‘j’, with a talented scribble, in a healthy fuschia color. No Hanklerfishes or Yetis ( either would have been nice) needed to make it awesome, though. :)

I was followed all the way home from school today by a UPS truck, and I knew that it HAD to stop at my house. I was not disappointed. I got a strong, healthy PURPLE J-scribble, on the lower half of the page.

Blue 2.92%
Green 41.29%
Red 1.23%
Purple 20.06%

I got a lovely red J-scribble. it’s nice because red is my favorite color.

the book arrived this morning, but my dad hid it until way later into the day. I really don’t know why he did that.

My copy arrived today (I live in Scotland BTW) and it doesn’t have a signature in it. I’m sure I remember hearing that every pre ordered copy was going to get one.

Is anyone else having this sort of problem?
