The books at the shipper are all unsigned.
I think somewhere around here I might have a few books that shawn and I signed for the kickstarter peeps. We signed extras just to make sure all people were happy. I suppose that aspect is all done.
I'm a bit pressed for time the next few weeks. I take it you would like me to figure out how to get one signed book to you? I know people normally charge more for signed book stuff, but I never really learned that thing.
DairyCreekCommunityFoodWeb has a free library for Farmers, Gardeners and Foodies. We are always looking for books to add to our collection! Do you recommend your offered collection? As a 10-year old non-profit organization. we are always working to feed hungry people: expanding our Food Pantry Garden, Gleaning program, sustainable school gardens, celebrating harvests and holding Gardening & Cooking classes…etc, thanks for your free books idea!

Where I live, there is a robust network of little free libraries scattered around the village/town. That would be my first drop off locations.
I have plans on making a farm stand. I would reckon the people picking up veggies/eggs might be interested in permaculture or permaculture-adjacent subjects so having them for available as a grab item might hit a more targeted audience.
I like to echo the previous posts about donating a copy or two to a local library system.
We gave our 12 copies away at Homeschool Co-op. Lots of excited home-schooling families eager to use the book as part of their children's education!
My 30 yr old daughter was so inspired, she developed a Summer Camp curriculum based on the book (for kids 8-14).
Go to an organic farming and gardening meeting, give the box of books to someone at the front desk, and depending on shyness quotient, either run away and have pre-written note inside box "free book from Permies.com", or actually tell someone what they are supposed to do with them.
My company, W.E.B. Permaculture, is partnering with a Permaculture Design Instructor to soon offer a Permaculture Design Course in North Texas. We'll be handing out the Better World Books and the Permaculture Playing Cards to the students.

Hey Jeanne, I am very curious about what your daughter came up with! Rebekah is thinking about creating a SKIP Scouts program. I bet there would be some overlap between these two ideas.
