In the beginning, I wasted several books by assuming that the book was for them. I also always ask for the correct spelling. If you sell your book by mail order be sure to include a blank on your order form for the person's name to whom the book should be signed. I also ask if they would like for me to write a date under my signature. Many people like to remember when they met you.
Authors often trade books with other authors.
