A HOLOGRAM FOR THE KING takes the reader to far-away Saudi Arabia to show how a man fights to hold himself and his splintering family together in the face of the global economy's collapse.
THIS COPY (shown below) was hand signed by Dave Eggers on the title page at his office. It is a new, unread first edition opened only for signing and comes with a certificate authenticating the signature. Published in June, 2012 by McSweeney’s Books, distributed by Publisher's Group West.
DAVE EGGERS (pictured below from our Wall of Fame) made an indelible impression on Birmingham when we hosted him at the Alys Stephens Center on March 1, 2003. At the end of his talk he asked the audience for the name of a cool bar close by - and then invited us all to the Garage Cafe and picked up the tab for the first round. His generosity here is merely an extension of this man's persona. His non-profit 826 Valencia writing and tutoring center in San Francisco has been copied around the country, including in our area with the Desert Island Supply Company. He has won more writing awards than we have space to list. As you can tell by this lengthy note, we are huge fans. Thank you Dave Eggers for signing our books.
