Reading and signing.

Does this mean if I buy my copy day of release at my closer Borders I can still get it signed at this one?  B&N did that, but I don't know about Borders.

It's considered good form to buy something at a bookstore when you go for a signing, but at many bookstores, it doesn't have to be the book you're getting signed.  You might want to call that location and inquire about their signing policy, though.

Yeah, I'll just call the store.  B&N was good with SmFv being signed as long as it was purchased at a B&N and you had the sales slip.  Hopefully Borders will be the same.  They are after all chains not indies.  I just don't have the money to buy two, and well I don't see me being able to wait till the 12th .

This is the nearest one and it's still 276ish miles away

*sigh* I live in Independence and still can't get to a signing.  I'm leaving for a work conference this day. 
Last year it was tickets to a show forced on me by my wife and parents in April and a vacation in May.

I'll be there   I have a question though I had already planned on taking a camera, should I take my video camera as well so that I can make a video for the forums?  It would be simple enough to tape the proceedings break it into sections and post it on youtube.  Assuming Borders allows cameras of course.

Please do!  If Borders is cool with it, of course.

Curses!  I called the Store tonight to check on this and the shift manager said normally they don't allow recording devices in store but since I told them it would be for the official website forums they suggested I call Friday and speak with the General Manager as she would have the final OK.  So here's hoping she agrees.

[laura118b]

So I called Borders and found out the policy for signings.  They don't require you to buy the book there to get it signed, but you must bring your receipt if you already have the book since they will be selling it.  So I can get the book day of release at my local Borders and have it signed at the Lee's Summit one.

[Wizard H]

So bad news guys, the store says that since al their products are copy-righted material they cannot allow recording devices in-store without special exemption from their corporate office.  They said it is something they can normally only allow for news crews.

This might have been one of those situations where it was better to seek forgiveness than ask permission.

I think I might be going to this signing...

Should we all wear name tags or something?

Yes, Splattercon style!
