Richelle Mead

How to Buy Richelle's Books

1. Booksellers Everywhere
Richelle's books are available from major American book retailers like Amazon and Barnes and Noble, as well as all sorts of wonderful independent bookstores. You can buy online or in person. "Superstores" like Target and Walmart also often carry her books. Most UK and Australian bookstores also can get them. Other countries vary.

2. Buy Your Books SIGNED!
If you order books through the website of University Bookstore in Seattle, Richelle will come into the store to sign and personalize them to you before they ship out. There's no additional charge, and the store carries all Richelle's books and will also take pre-orders. International orders are also accepted.

Here's how to order.  Follow these directions carefully or you might get an unsigned book sent to you!

1. Go to University Bookstore's website and search for Richelle's books. Order the books you want, put them in your shopping cart, and start the check-out process. For anthologies, search by title.

2. On the payment page, there's a comment field.  Enter the following: "Please send me an autographed copy (or copies) made out to...."  Then write in who you would like the book or books made out to.  Be VERY specific about the name. Some people say "make it out to me, Joe Smith" when they really just want it made out to "Joe," not Joe Smith.  So tell us exactly which name should be in the book! If you just want Richelle to autograph it with no personalization, then enter "signature only."

3. Pay for the item and complete your order.

4. The store will get in touch with Richelle to stop by and sign the order, then the books will be mailed to you. New releases can't ship out before their release day.

5. PLEASE direct all selling type questions (pre-orders, international shipping costs, etc.) to ubsmail@u.washington.edu) or the bookstore's mail order department, not Richelle.

Note: Richelle reserves the right to modify specific message requests--especially long ones! The books only have so much room. :)

A note about Spring new releases (Frostbite graphic novel and The Golden Lily):

The Frostbite graphic novel will ship on its release date, May 24. To find it in University Bookstore's system, do a title search for Frostbite and scroll down until you see the graphic novel cover.

The Golden Lily (Bloodlines #2) will ship on June 12. If you order other books with it, they will ship out the same day unless you pay separate shipping.

Richelle will come to the store to autograph copies of these beforehand to make sure they can ship on release day! Please make sure your orders are placed four days before release day to ensure on-time shipping. The only reason these won't ship on release day is if something unforeseen happens, like the store's supply not showing up or Richelle breaking an arm. Otherwise, all efforts are made to get these out on time!
