Celebrity authors at their book signings​

Celebrity book signings are glitzy affairs, and provide more than just a chance to obtain signatures. Standing in line outside a bookstore, library, or gallery, sometimes for hours, can get you a brief meeting with your favorite film star, model, sports champ, or reality TV personality... and you get to walk away with a personalized autograph! And of course, book signings can also bring you together with some truly great authors, celebrities of the literary world, whose work has influenced generations.
