Neal has sold signed copies of his works direct from his blog in the past, so it might be worth an ask? Mind you, given the current news I would perhaps wait a while. I'm no good with words, but if you read this Neal, please accept my condolences.

I'm a completist, and part of my nature. I read the first two, and although not a challenging read, it was pleasant b-movie romp. The trouble is, it got worse, and as I mentioned, once I had started the set, I had to finish. They will one of the few sets of books that I bought that will end...
