Rare Stephenie Meyer Items For Auction

April 8, 2009

Two authentic and extremely rare Stephenie Meyer items are up for auction. It’s all part of project Book Babe.

The first is a Twilight Saga boxset with every book and the box signed. The box set didn’t come out until almost Christmas, and there are very, very few authentic autographed versions of this. So if you want a genuine autograph on all books plus the case, this is the way to go.

The next is a signed Japanese set of Twilight, New Moon, and Eclipse. In Japan the novels are broken into three parts and have artwork. In other words Stephenie signed all nine books. Honestly we don’t thing this exists anywhere else in the world. To the best of our knowledge absolutely no one owns a legitimate Stephenie Meyer signed complete Japanese series.

Adding to the worst kept secret in Vancouver (the fact that New Moon would be filming at an area high school), the humans are now in town. That’s right Justin Chon, Anna Kendrick, Christian Serratos, and Michael Welch were all snapped as they landed at the Vancouver airport.

Looks like Mike has finally restored his hair to it’s natural blonde state after it was dyed dark for both a theatrical production and a film.

Speaking of Michael Welch, he is starting a drive about mammogram awareness. Touched By Twilight has the full scoop:

I’d received an email from Michael’s publicist yesterday about this website that has set a goal to donate one mammogram a day during the month of April to a woman who cannot afford it herself. But they need our help – all you have to do is visit their site and their sponsors donate the money for a mammogram. Michael’s publicist said that Michael supports this drive and wanted TBT to put his name behind it and start spreading the word. You can find more information on this on our website here.
