I need a revival book tour in November. Keep looking! It is strongly hinted by MS MOD
From the website: Stephenking.com
question asked:
Does anyone know if SK plans to tour for Revival? I'm in Louisiana, and he came to New Orleans for 11/22/63. I'd love the chance to see him speak again, and who knows, maybe even land an autographed copy. Meeting the man himself would be one for the bucket list.
Ms Mod answer:
I do have information but nothing I can share yet.
That's encouraging.Originally Posted by Roseannebarr

Encouraging, but very caged. The info she has could be there is no tour. I doubt she'd be so mean, but who knows.
My 2 cents thoughts : you could probably buy a REVIVAL signed book, but you are very unlikely to be able to buy a PHOTO with him, before another similar event.

Why not have the best of both worlds? Have someone take the photo of both you and King while he signs your book.My 2 cents thoughts : you could probably buy a REVIVAL signed book, but you are very unlikely to be able to buy a PHOTO with him, before another similar event.
"One day you're going to figure out that everything they taught you was a lie."
Very good advice. Thanks!!I know you asked RF, but my opinion is.
People were very disappointed with $150 Hartford Conn Meet and Greet. He was hidden behind a wall. 1 photo opportunity and very rushed. At least let him hang out in the open!
The excitement of meeting him the first time at George Mason was well worth $100! Not $416.
$1000 at Toronto was ridiculous! Even the organizers talked people out of paying that price. And we still got 8 books signed with out the meet and greet.
Save your money, wait for the revival book tour, have the 2nd person with you stand in line a few spaces back, step around the table and get your picture taken. It has been done 100 times.
Unless you can easily afford $416 then by all means go for it! and take me too!! someone take me please!!! that is just not in my budget.

Have a question.. has anyone here... KNOWING you are only allowed to have the book they are providing signed... snuck (that a word lol) a copy of something you REALLY want signed (IT 1st... which got me started) into the event and when it front of King, pull it out and ask him to sign it? I will never get that book signed again. I may never meet him again due to my schedule and King (who is getting older) even doing many more. Thoughts and advice appreciated here guys.. thanks!

Yes. I did that successfully at the recent Paris signing. I have a video of him signing it.
If you are the first one to do it, chances are he will sign. If 20 people in front of you have also tried this trick, Organisers/King may prevent this.
"A real limited edition, far from being an expensive autograph stapled to a novel, is a treasure. And like all treasures do, it transforms the responsible owner into a caretaker, and being a caretaker of something as fragile and easily destroyed as ideas and images is not a bad thing but a good one...and so is the re-evaluation of what books are and what they do that necessarily follows." - Stephen King
I have seen it happen... However at most events if they state a policy plainly "No other books" there is often an attempt to see that happens.
Most organized events have some people directing you to where Mr King is seated and have you hand them the book prior to you approaching him to make sure it is ready and opened to the right place for him to sign.
Events with a huge crowd are often the ones who make the strongest effort to stop unauthorized books and also if you are blatantly toting a sack of books, you may be watched closely.
Bookstores doing signings often require you leave backpacks and such up front.
I have seen a person get by with sneaking a book through and then the security become stronger for the rest of the crowd.
I would never go to an event counting on getting any more than what is offered signed.
ALSO: A tip for those thinking of attending one of the up-coming signings; It is a good idea to bring a large enough plastic bag to cover your book as you can never be sure it won't be a rainy day and you do not need watermarks on your prized book.
And the PR woman from the publisher then told him to sign only 1 book per person, and therefore he wouldnt do it for me... that was just behind!Yes. I did that successfully at the recent Paris signing. I have a video of him signing it.

I just want one.. I am going to sneak it in my shirt if I have too... It will be my last chance ever... I don't even want a flatsign.. I would love it inscribed... So it could go either way. Fingers crossed.

He's a great guy. If he doesn't want to sign extras, he will tell you, and why.
When he did the Doctor Sleep signing in Florida I saw him before the event & asked if he'd sign my Gunslinger since he was only signing Doctor Sleep, he said he was in a hurry but if I got in line he might surprise me. He ended up signing 2 First Edition Gunslingers & my UK Rage & all 4 Doctor Sleep copies we purchased to raise money for the book store(for the 4 of us) On top of it took a picture with my Son. I think it's all about the mood he's in.
This is definitely a conundrum for me. The LAST thing I would want to do is alienate Mr. King and ruin the signing event for others. If everyone had just that, "one book that I want signed, and what harm could it do" mentality, there would be zero books that the publisher explicitly provided signed. My compromise is to follow the given rules and wait and see if there is an OFFICIAL adjustment made. I want my "one book" signed and inscribed, too - but not at the expense of others. It would ruin the event for me.

Dan, I see your point and my last intention would be to ever ruin the experience for someone else. I guess my thing is... this is my one chance. The wife will NEVER do this again even if she loves all you fools and King does another signing due to the business we are in and the cost for us to go there. From here up in the Great White North.. this is a trip in the thousands for us...Fingers crossed they allow one book a person.. that would be amazing!

Once in Bookstore we only stood in line, after he signed the other books for us he asked if we wanted the Dictor Sleep books signed.cceven at one per person if he's offering to sign more in not going to say no. Yes doing something to ruin it for everybody else would be wrong. That being said see how it goes you never know
Last evening, a very nice bookreading event with Stewart O´Nan in my hometown Hamburg.
Location: MS Cap San Diego
Cargo room from the old general cargo ship, now a museum ship

Down to the Cargo room
A nice 2hr event, Stewart O´Nan has read from his latest book The Odds, answered questions and signed books.
While he signed my books I could talk with him a little bit....
about the FAITHFUL not publishing in Germany problem, simply nobody understands/interested in baseball in Germany/Europe?
He said.. YES... but it's funny that it was published in Poland.

Sounds like it was a really great event.
