Lol! Dark Knight Send a noteboard - 13/12/2010 11:49:51 PM
I went to Borders this past weekend and they had a table set up for some author. I walked by several times and the guy looked really bored. He was idly tapping the table and the woman next to him looked utterly miserable. I didn't see one person walk up to them. But it really doesn't help when your book is about leadership and hiring. I humored the guy though.

Have you ever felt sorry for an author at a book signing?

But I've never tried to make them feel better.

None of the bookstores I've been in have ever had a signing when I've been around. *NM* j-whitt987 - 13/12/2010 11:54:32 PM 274 Views
