WTB: Theo's new book - Calgarypuck Forums - The Unofficial Calgary Flames Fan Community

My wife's birthday is coming up, and she's a HUGE Theo Fleury fan...always has been. I'm looking to buy a copy of Theo's new book (Playing with Fire)...possibly a SIGNED copy. Anyone know where I can get one? If so, please PM me. Cheers!

Not a signed Copy, but Costco south has the book in stock at 19.88 or w.e

Good price. Too bad I don't have a Costco membership. I'll have to check with friends. I'm still looking for that signed copy.

I should check it out, I'm sure it'll be beyond busy, as in 3+ hour waits.

Awesome! I'll see if I can get a copy before Saturday, and see if she wants to go down to Chapters to get it signed. Thanks!

Does anyone know if you can other stuff signed by Theo at the book signing (or just the book)??? Sometimes they limit you at events like this... thx.

I wouldn't want to test the crowd by having your collection signed.

drewboy12 · 10-22-2009, 07:56 PM

just the book with proof of purchase

Join us for an afternoon with legend, Theo Fleury, as he answers all your questions on his life and career in the NHL. Book signing to follow.
No posed photography. No memorabilia please.

One of the best books I ever read.

I C ROAD GAMES · 10-22-2009, 10:40 PM

Thanks for the info/link Ebola. That's what I figured, but thought I would take a shot anyway. 'Book with proof of purchase' - does this mean if I buy it at Costco and show up I get screwed?!?!

Nah, you'll be fine. I'm in line right now, with my wife, and they're not checking for proof of purchase.

They're speeding up the process by putting a stickie on the inside of your book with the name you'd like signed. Example: To Tina. Happy Birthday.

I'll take some pics and post them later.

Cheers!

How long is the lineup out of curiosity

RedMileDJ · 10-24-2009, 03:04 PM

The line is winding all through the store. They just finished the interview with Grant Polock (I hope thatks spelled right) and question and answer session.

Be prepared to wait at least an hour, I'd say.

Theo has committed to sign ALL books before he goes. He'll stay as long as it takes.

Cheers!

Wish i was in CGY right now

RedMileDJ · 10-25-2009, 12:56 AM

Link to the book signing thread. You can read my experience that day and see the pic of Theo, my wife and I.

glad you were able to get the auto'd book!

RedMileDJ · 10-25-2009, 01:58 AM

My wife's cousin posted on my Facebook that Theo is doing a signing in Airdrie NEXT Saturday (October 31st) and she's going to that one. I'll ask about the location and time.
