Tom Hanks book signing in his local store

Tom Hanks made a recent appearance at an independent book store - Village Books in Pacific Palisades, California - in order to help raise the profile of his local book store which is struggling to stay afloat (fans will remember his role as a book chain owner hell bent on squashing Meg Ryan's small book store in You've Got Mail)...

The Academy Award-winning movie star signed sets of DVDs and books related to his many successful movies.

Nicholas Sparks book signing in home town

Nicholas Sparks was back in his home town of New Bern yesterday to sign copies of his latest novel The Lucky One for quite literally thousands of admirers who queued for hours to meet him.

Several thousand people - from near and far, young and old, men and women, some blind, others carrying children - lined up through the mall for the annual signing. Many took lawn chairs, sitting in them until the line moved, then toting them several feet to wait again. Two blind women in different parts of the line waited beside guide dogs.

By noon, the line stretched from Waldenbooks at the east end of the mall to the middle of the mall and out the front entrance near Annabelle's. Some of the people had driven from Atlanta, Charlotte, Richmond and other cities for the signing.

Is book signing just plain weird?

If you're a passionate collector of books signed by the author you may be interested in this piece in the Independent, UK which takes a sympathetic look at the "book signing chore" that modern publishing demands of popular authors.

Excessive success, however, can also be a burden. There's a shocking story about Stephen King signing books in a Seattle shop. He signed for hours until his shoulder ached and a publicist had to apply an ice-pack. Then his fingers dried up; they cracked and began to bleed, and he asked for a bandage. Hearing this, a fan in the queue demanded to have some authentic Stephen King blood on his book. Others joined in and he signed in his own blood for hours.
