I called him to see about the autopen but he’s using it. I may do that myself.Īnd these are all really signed by hand? Or do you have an autopen, like the President? On eBay, someone can sell an unsigned Mel Brooks box set for more than the signed set. You could sign a thousand and then people will want the unsigned ones. Plus, if you do many more than that, what’s the point? If there’s a thousand signed sets, who wants them? I don’t know if I’m unconsciously angry at the process or what, but instead of “Mel Brooks,” I’m suddenly “Mel Gibson.” So here in my office, I figure that if I stopped calls, I could do about fifty a day, take me about a week.
I figure I’m usually good for about a hundred and fifty. While we are pleased to offer the exclusive clip above-it’s a snippet from a 1981 British documentary in which Brooks reflects on his early years, explains his relationship with his mother, and generally acts the tummler-we are doubly pleased that Brooks agreed to discuss the new collection.Īs part of the release for this set, there are three hundred signed copies.
