Unexpected Perils of Autographs for Authors

[dewline]

I noticed that one of our world's better-known authors has recently discovered what may be an unexpected peril of autographing your books.

I know of at least one other best-seller who's done similar autograph sessions, but so far they've avoided this particular mishap.

So if I read this correctly he just walked in and started signing books without informing or asking the staff. Not cool, no matter who you are.

"Drive by signings" are fun but a little courtesy goes a long way. All it takes is stopping by the register and saying something along the lines of "Hi I noticed you have some of my books in stock - would you like me to sign them?"

A fair concern, that is...and I think the other author's already been taking your advice on that point.
