✍️ Each book is hand-signed by me.
If you’d like a personalized message (e.g. “To Sarah, from Nils”), just leave a note at checkout or send us an email – otherwise, I’ll include my signature only.
⚠️ Disclaimer for Signed Copies (Please read before ordering)
Each signed copy is printed and shipped to me before I send it to you. While I do inspect every book, small print imperfections may occur from the printing process.
If your copy arrives with a serious defect, just get in touch—I’ll do my best to make it right.
