   I am located in Virginia.  These books were obtained from a signing in   
   Jersey.  We get some odd ones now and then but not so much here; I get   
   my books usually from other states.  I know Olsen's was my favorite   
   place (DC because my son lives there) and I can get into DC, richmond   
   etc for some good ones quite easily.  I missed out on Barbara Bush a   
   couple years ago, but managed to buy an Easton Press autographed   
   edition for under a hundred bucks... I collect those a little too (if   
   I can find a great deal otherwise I enjoy looking) :)
