Purchase a copy of Shaq Uncut at Books & Books and you will receive one (1) voucher for entry to the autographing line. Each voucher entitles you to receive one autographed copy of the book on the day of the autographing. Limit 5 vouchers per person. You must show your voucher in order to enter the signing line, so please do not lose it.
We encourage you to collect your copy of the book at the autographing on December 5th. If you prefer not to wait, you may collect the book anytime after publication on November 15th at a Books & Books store (Coral Gables, Miami Beach or Bal Harbour Shops). Your voucher will then be stamped by our staff to indicate your book has been claimed. Please be sure to bring your stamped voucher with you to the autographing as you will have to show it to gain entrance to the event. Books & Books is NOT responsible for lost or stolen vouchers. Also, don’t forget to bring your book, if you’ve already claimed it, so that Shaquille can sign it! (You will not receive another book that day, if you’ve already claimed yours.)
This is an autographing only. Shaq will sign up to 5 books per person but will not be able to personalize. Pictures may be taken in passing, but not posed. He will not be able to sign anything other than books, so please leave your memorabilia at home.

You know him by any number of names, and chances are you know all about his legendary basketball career: Shaquille “Shaq” O’Neal is a four-time NBA champion and a three-time NBA Finals MVP. After being an All-American at Louisiana State University, he was the overall number one draft pick in the NBA in 1992. In his 19-year career, Shaq racked up 28,596 career points (including 5,935 free throws!), 13,099 rebounds, 3,026 assists, 2,732 blocks, and 15 All-Star appearances.
These are statistics that are almost as massive as the man himself. His presence — both physically and psychologically — made him a dominant force in the game for two decades.
But if you follow the game, you also know that there’s a lot more to Shaquille O’Neal than just basketball.
Shaq is famous for his playful, and at times, provocative personality. He is, literally, outsized in both scale and persona. Whether rapping on any of his five albums, challenging celebrities on his hit television show “Shaq Vs.,” studying for his PhD or serving as a reserve police officer, there’s no question that Shaq has led a unique and multi-dimensional life. And in this rollicking new autobiography, Shaq discusses his remarkable journey, including his candid thoughts on teammates and coaches like Kobe Bryant, Dwyane Wade, LeBron James, Phil Jackson, and Pat Riley.
From growing up in difficult circumstances and getting cut from his high school basketball team to his larger-than-life basketball career, Shaq lays it all out in Shaq Uncut: My Story.
