He also does one heck of a job at garnering high bids at an auction.
The charity auction at AggieCon when he was guest of honor (and so the
auctioneer at the charity auction, that's how they do that there) set

Dang, I just have a paperback, and I haven't had it signed.
My copy of _Slippage_ is signed, and let me tell you, he does one *heck*
