Other author pals - when you give a book to a friend do you sign it? I always feel weird about that, but then on the other hand I love it when a friend gives me their book and they've signed it, so

I've not had a brilliant sales career as a semi-pro, but the friends and family who actually requested a copy preferred them signed. For what it's worth.
If it’s a thought ahead, I’ll usually try to and even leave a lil message, if it’s on the spot I usually kinda wait for them to ask or ask myself if they want it signed. Probably some inner attempt to stay humble or not come off pretentious haha

But I try to make a point of visiting friends’ book launches and buying them, so they’re usually signed anyway.
