Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
Questions: Can we bring our older books to get signed? Will there be a limit? Or is there some other way that would be better to get others signed? Also, do we need to get the book earlier and bring it or purchase it there? LOL, I've never been to a book signing before so excuse the newbie questions and I suppose I should get there early? :-[

Best thing to do is to call the store itself and ask to speak to the person in charge of the event, since these questions have varying answers according to store policies.

Oooookay. So, I think I may be confused. (sadly)
I see that the first event, being the release party and all, requires a ticket. However, do the other signings require tickets or do I just need to buy something to be polite?
Aside from that, HELL'S BELLS! Jim is coming to VA and I actually get to go!

To add to Shecky's advice, I would suggest buying the book there. That is I think what Mr Butcher stated at some point that it is simply better to buy the book at the hosting location as that helps the PTB know that it is worth sending him out on the book tours. I know I will be doing that as well.

I was quoting Pat Rothfuss' blog, not Jim. But the logic applies to most authors, I'd think!

Two bonuses apply for those doing this at dates on the signing tour that are not on release day:
1) You wait nobly to purchase your book until signing day. Your sacrifice of reading time helps bump your store a little bit farther up the Maybe They'll Get Him To Come Back Here list. Win.
2) You aren't BURNING with the powerful urge to SPOIL ALL THE THINGS. Win.
:D
