I wouldn't send a picture because I think they are going to his personal assistant who has a stack of signed bookplates she sends out. I doubt he even sees the letters. But that's just my opinion. Other people have gotten signed pictures so I could be wrong.

As far as I read it would be a waste. I think I saw ONE person getting a signed picture back in all the time :/ But maybe you just try it. I mean one picture is not that expensive and maybe you are lucky, but I would not send more than one ;)

So is this definitely all he ever sends back? I was going to send pictures but I'm not sure if that would be a waste.

I did, when it comes to authors, I prefer to have either books or bookplates over photos.

That is what he sends back.. I sent a couple photos but they came back unsigned.. just the book plate with his initials..

Did you request a book plate?

thanks , that means I can use my standard envelopes ^^

I measured mine last night. It's 4 in. by 6 in. and is oriented vertically. It looks like pageturner415's card is oriented horizontally.

It is the size of a baseball card..but it will fit in a normal 3 5/8 X 6 1/2 letter envelope..

ok thanks for the answer
and congrats to you as well ;)
