Unknowns for the most part, I guess, but one guy wasn't apparently too upset that no one was talking to him. He made the most of it by talking to people as they walked past, just engaging them in conversation, gradually steering that conversation toward his book.

Has anybody ever felt sorry for these authors at book signings?

Ever heard George R.R. Martin's story about a signing in the 1990s in the St. Louis area?
