Signed Obama Books Fetching Presidential Prices
Wowzer! I haven't read any of Obama's books yet. But seeing how I admire his eloquent use of words, I suppose I should. Hopefully the spirit of his signatures will leave behind a miraculous and positive legacy. I know you all must think I'm totally obsessed with Obama, and for the rest of you..... you can't stand it, because the world is coming to an end. And I'm sitting over here acting like a Bush supporter (after he stole the election). You know.... all giddy, because Gore and the rest of the weird-o loser, lazy democrats almost got to count the votes up. I'm just praying for a miracle and HOPING that this will turn into a beautiful story. It already has, really. I hope one day the Republicans will open their hearts and minds. I know you don't like his tax plan, but have you looked at the rest of his plans? Look at the larger picture. It's time you stop obsessing about taxes. There are ways to get around those. Just don't pay them if you don't like them. I know how you feel... to know that you're right. Imagine how it feels when you discover that you're really right. Don't waste our time and energy with cigars anymore. Simmer down.
Everyone wants a piece of Obama history. AbleBooks.com has reported a spike in Obama book sales. Fans are willing to pay anywhere from $500 to $5,500 for a signed copy of Dreams From My Father.
Before the election, the most expensive Obama book sold by AbeBooks.com was a signed copy of Dreams From My Father for $1,798.
The cheapest one available at AbeBooks.com is a signed soft cover of Change We Can Believe In for $975.
And the most sought after Obama book is the signed 1995 first edition copies of Dreams From My Father published when he was still a lawyer and lecturer. The book actually went out of print. Now these rare editions can reach $10,000.
Even though Obama hasn't even move into the White House, prices for his signed books are already comparable to previous presidents. AbeBooks.com has sold a signed copy of Bill Clinton’s My Life for $3,450 and a signed copy of Ronald Reagan’s An American Life for $6,325.
