aronoiiel:
heh I live in tacoma. . .now if I can just convince my dad to take me *evil smirk*
does anyone know if it's going to cost anything?
Dread Pirate Sayessa:
It shouldn't cost anything. I've never heard of paying for author signings at bookstores. Conventions, yes but not stores. However, I've heard the parking there kind of sucks.
If you look up University Bookstore Seattle you'll find the website with contact info for the author signing reps if you have any questions about it.
Hope to see you there! (I'm carpooling otherwise I'd offer you a ride... I'm in Gig Harbor!)
aronoiiel:
ah lol thanks for the info I'll give a call and see whats up. I don't think I'd have to hard a problem convincing my dad LOL he's just as a hardcored scifi/fantasy fan as I am . . .he DID create me in more sense the one in that aspect ;D
Ard Rhys:
Here's the low down on University Bookstore:
There will be enough parking. It's not that bad come 6:30 at night on a week day. They give you a ticket that you bring into the store with you. If you can, do not buy your book early and bring it with you; buy the book at the bookstore. If you do that, your time at the event will be covered and you won't pay a dime for parking as they will stamp your parking ticket. Plus, it's just a courtesy to buy your book at the store that is hosting the event, in my opinion.
I think this will be one of Duane's larger events, so get there early if you can. Duane is the head of science fiction/fantasy at the U Bookstore, and he always puts on a good show. To get an autograph, it costs nothing. But like I said, please buy your book at their store -- if a bookstore doesn't show good sales of an event book, the publisher may cut back an author's tour next time. We don't want that to happen with Jim. :)
If you have any other questions about the U Bookstore event, just ask. I live two miles from it and go there for most events.
