Yep. Think we Europeans had our last chance in Paris 13.
Yep (and I didn't go even though Paris is only a couple of hours away by car...)
I went, actually I was ALLOWED to go as my daughter was due a couple of weeks later. Thank goodness she waited :evil:
I'm not too happy about the size of the venue in Milwaukee. 2,400 would make it tough to get a signed copy. But... the theater has one guest entrance, and then the stage door around the corner. No other main doors. So, I will likely be camped outside the door that afternoon when they come in to sign the 400 copies.
They aren't listed yet. Milwaukee really only has one major independent bookstore, so I called them and had a really good conversation with the manager. He mentioned the venue, but wouldn't say anything about the signing format.
EDIT: I just heard back from the bookstore that there will not be a formal signing.
I'm shooting for the Portland date.
I'm sorry for the probably obvious question, but I have never attended a book tour event before and I am beyond excited to even think I may have a chance to meet my favorite author of all time.
When "presigned" is mentioned, does that mean I would apply for a ticket via lottery drawing? If I were to get a ticket that gives me the right to purchase a signed copy of Sleeping Beauties at the event, correct? If so, any idea of the price of the book?
If the event is not a presigned event, would it still be a "ticket by lottery drawing"? If that is the case is there a guarantee that I would get a book signed if I were to get a ticket, or is the ticket only for the event and there's a chance I may get a book that I bring with me signed?
You buy a ticket to an event.
With that ticket comes a book at the end of the night.
Maybe it is signed, maybe it is not.
Typically King signs 400 books per event.
The chances of getting a different book signed are slim and none.
At the prior SK events, there were 400 copies of Doctor Sleep or Revival that were signed prior to the night he spoke. Then, once he was done and people would leave the venue, they would exchange their ticket for a book. Maybe it's signed, maybe not. Either way, you get a book, but only a certain number are signed copies.
And if tips a tricks get posted HERE...... THERE CAN BE A CHANCE STORES WILL READ OR HEAR OF THEM AND SET ABOUT WAYS TO PREVENT THOSE OPTIONS. It has happened
Keep that in mind
As some others may attest to, a lot also depends on who the person is that is responsible for actually getting the signed copies into the flow. The Orono event proved that they don't always pick the best person for the job.....
On a side note, the "Boston Area" could cover a large chunk of northern New England. Anyone up for a return to Bridgton? :)
Yeah, I agree that Mass is implied. Just being a little sarcastic as Bridgton is a 30 min drive for me... as it is now I try to take the train anytime I go to Boston. As long as the subway gets me close to whatever venue I'm going to, it's a lot easier and cheaper!
