About the Children's & Teen Signed First Editions

In 2011, members of our Signed First Editions Club received two American Library Association award winners (Randolph Caldecott Medalist A Ball for Daisy by Chris Raschka and Robert F. Sibert Informational Book Award winner Balloons Over Broadway by Melissa Sweet). Would you like the chance to have a signed first edition of next year’s award winners? You can sign up to have a first edition, first printing of a newly released children’s picture book delivered each month directly to your - or another collector’s - doorstep or you can pick up your book at the store. You may choose to enroll in the program for six or twelve months at a time, or enroll indefinitely.

There is no enrollment fee. The cost of each book ($30 or less, including shipping) is the only charge and will be processed every month when the books arrive at Politics & Prose. You may choose to have us cover your book with an archival book cover for an extra $1.50. P&P members will receive 20% off all selections.

If you are not currently a member, we encourage you to register for membership. You will save in the long run, and also receive all of the other member benefits - discounts on bestsellers, author event books, our notifications of the events by mail and email, the opportunity to participate in our four annual storewide member sales, and other discount promotions.

Our current selections are:
January: One Cool Friend, written by Tony Buzzeo and illustrated by David Small (Penguin, $16.99)
February: And Then Its Spring, written by Julie Fogliano and illustrated by Caldecott-winner Erin Stead (Roaring Brook Press, $16.99)

March: Kali’s Song, written and illustrated by Jeannette Winter (Schwartz, $16.99)
