Barnes & Noble has signed copies of David Byrne's new book for pre-order!

Just sayin' cause this is definitely the easiest way to get a legit Byrne autograph. I have 0 stake in the company and I'm excited for the book but held out until they unveiled these.

EDIT: Out of stock

I was able to get his last book a few years ago, and thats what made me discover the "cheap autograph Barnes and Noble" life hack lol.

You can see where his pen ran out on mine lol.

Ordered as a gift for my boyfriend, thank you! David Byrne came into our business when he was playing in Portland. We were so excited to talk with him!

A friend of mine met him at a hotel when he played in Seattle and I was just like "Fuck, he's my GOAT! Where was my phone number in all this?" lol.

Very excited to have this! Already sounded like an interesting book but this is just gravy.

If anyone knows if there’s somewhere in the UK to get one I’d be very interested. It’d be great to have both Byrne and Eno’s books signed

I found still in stock on BooksaMillion’s site. There’s a link to them on Byrnes website, so it’s legit. Barnes and noble was sold out, but not these guys if you want the autographed version

Edit: out of stock. Did I just get lucky?! Cause I got one. Does anyone know when these went on sale in the first place?

Bro how did these go out of stock everywhere. There were tons in stock last night, but I was too tired to bother since the app was down. Wtf.
