Getting your hands on a Stassi Schroeder signed book is kinda like snagging a piece of Bravo history that actually smells like ranch dressing and Pinot Grigio. Honestly, if you’ve been following the Vanderpump Rules alum since her days of birthday meltdowns and statement necklaces, you know she doesn’t just write books; she builds a vibe. Whether it’s her 2019 debut Next Level Basic, the "rock bottom" era of Off with My Head, or her 2024/2025 release You Can't Have It All, fans are still scouring the internet to find copies she actually touched.
But here is the thing. Not all signed copies are created equal. You’ve got your live signing events, your tipped-in pages, and those elusive bookplates. It’s a whole thing.
The Hunt for an Authentic Stassi Schroeder Signed Book
If you are looking for a copy right now, you’re probably seeing a wild range of prices. I’ve seen Next Level Basic autographed copies going for as low as $30 on some sites and nearly $90 on eBay for a first edition in "like new" condition.
Most of the "signed" copies floating around today from retailers like Premiere Collectibles or TalkShopLive aren't actually signed on the title page itself. They usually come with a "signed bookplate"—which is basically a high-end sticker she signed that the publisher then stuck inside the book. It’s still her signature, but for hardcore collectors, a "flat signed" copy where she actually put pen to the original paper is the holy grail.

Where to look in 2026:
- eBay: Good for older titles, but you have to watch out for "auto-pen" (machine signatures). Look for ink bleed and variations in the "S."
- Pangobooks: This is where the real fans sell their personal stashes. You can often find a copy where the seller actually met her at a tour stop.
- LiveSigning / Premiere Collectibles: They often have backstock from her 2024 and 2025 virtual events.
Why the Value of Her Autograph is Peaking
It's weirdly fascinating. Usually, reality star books lose value faster than a designer bag at a sample sale. But Stassi has this "Khaleesi of Basic" energy that keeps people interested. After she was let go from Bravo, the demand for Off with My Head skyrocketed because it felt like a forbidden artifact.
By the time she released You Can't Have It All (the "Taking the Pressure Off" guide), her brand shifted from "surviving rock bottom" to "relatable mom who still likes nice things." This shift brought in a whole new demographic of collectors.

The current market shows that a Stassi Schroeder signed book isn't just a read; it's a "shelfie" essential. People want that gold or black ink signature sitting next to their candles and wine glasses.
Spotting a Fake (Don't Get Scammed)
Since Stassi has done thousands of signings, her signature has evolved. In the early days, it was a bit more deliberate. Now, it’s a very fast, loopy "S" followed by what looks like a mountain range and a flourish.
Pro-tip: If the signature looks absolutely perfect and identical to every other copy on the site, it might be a printed signature. Real ink has a slight sheen when you tilt it under a light. If it’s flat and matte like the rest of the text, walk away.
Practical Steps for Collectors
If you’re serious about building a "Basic Bitch" library, don't just buy the first thing you see.

- Check the ISBN: Ensure you’re getting the hardcover. Signed paperbacks exist, but they don't hold value as well.
- Verify the Provenance: Ask the seller if they have a digital receipt from the original book tour or a photo of the "signed edition" sticker on the front.
- Wait for the New Tour: Stassi frequently does live podcast tours (like the Straight Up with Stassi or The Good The Bad The Baby events). She almost always bundles signed books with VIP tickets. It's often cheaper to buy a ticket and get the book for "free" than to pay a scalper $100 for a copy later.
Basically, if you find a signed copy of Next Level Basic for under $40, buy it. It’s a staple. If you’re looking for the newer stuff, keep an eye on her Patreon or Instagram stories; she’s notorious for doing "flash sales" of signed bookplates when she’s home with the kids and has a spare hour to sign.
Next Steps for You:
Check AbeBooks or Alibris first. These sites often have independent bookshops listing "signed" copies that they haven't marked up to "collector" prices yet. You can frequently snag a deal for under $25 if you look for "Used - Very Good" condition with the "signed" attribute checked in the search filters.
