Apparently it was signed a whole year and a month later; it says 2013 on your ?2 pic. (I'm guessing that one copy was signed for another occasion, while the other two specifically for the contest.) Thanks for the pictures, Dante, and it's giving me hope that my package will arrive any day now as well! Double correction: It was signed eleven months earlier than the rest, then... But aye, wow, I hadn't noticed that at all. At first glance it does feel weird that they had an old signed ?2 just lying around like that, but Handler must sign so many for special occasions like this that it's really no wonder. For reference, the labels on my package indicated that it was sent last Thursday, January 8th. Not bad for a trans-Atlantic delivery. I hope everyone else's arrive soon!

To my surprise, I just got what is evidently Part #1 of my ATWQFanart prize in the mail. No gift certificate or print yet, but I have received my signed books, and even some bonus paperwork! Possibly the more personalised material is coming along later. I wanted to notify people first of all that the prizes are at last starting to come in... and now I have some pictures: Signed books: (Why was ?2 signed about a month after ?1 and ?3? Mysteries.) I'm always really intrigued about this wooden table and little library area you have inside your home. Mysteries.

Yay, at last they're starting to arrive! Thanks for posting the pictures, Dante. Curious about the second book; maybe it was signed for another occasion, or perhaps it was simply a mistake when they stamped it. Anyway, excellent news, so thanks for sharing!

One of the other winners from tumblr received their prize today! She got the books and paperwork too, no print or book token, but the main thing is the books, so yay!

Congratulations to all.
'Lauren Cerand' looks a bit like an anagram, but I don't think she actually can be.

I was told my prize package arrived as well! I gave them my parents' address so it'll be another week til I get to it, but I'm excited to *finally* read ?3!

In retrospect, you probably shouldn't have waited, but I'm glad you can now join the club.

I agree, although I think we all thought the prizes would arrive (circa one to two months) earlier. Oh well, this year I'm gonna pre-order the last book to get it as early as possible so I can talk about it here with everybody else.

Yay, exciting! Still no sign of mine, but hopefully in the next few days. I'm so glad I bought SYBIS, considering how long this has taken, though I don't think I ever actually participated in the discussion thread ... I should probably have a look at it at some point, but perhaps more actively for ?4 Anyway, congratulations on receiving your prize! I'm sure you'll love SYBIS

A small update: My contact at LB has informed me that gift certificates are still coming and will be sent by e-mail, and the art prints, likewise, are being sent separately.

Excellent news, thanks Dante. My books still haven't arrived; I'm getting a bit worried now and thinking about contacting them again if my package hasn't arrived by tomorrow ...

That's probably a good idea. They gave me a tracking link when I asked about my package even though it had already arrived by the time they got back to me, so there are ways of keeping tabs.

Oh, thanks, that's really good to know! I was hoping there might be a way.

Finally received my books today!!! Well worth the wait, I'm SO happy they're here. On the package the shipping date is the 5th of February so I guess they just didn't get to posting mine for a while ... in some ways, very fast delivery. OK, that was a pretty awesome V.F.D. phrase I just typed without even really thinking about it.
