I went to Borders this past weekend and they had a table set up for some author. I walked by several times and the guy looked really bored. He was idly tapping the table and the woman next to him looked utterly miserable. I didn't see one person walk up to them. But it really doesn't help when your book is about leadership and hiring. I humored the guy though.
Have you ever felt sorry for an author at a book signing?
But I've never tried to make them feel better.

Has anybody ever felt sorry for these authors at book signings?

None of the bookstores I've been in have ever had a signing when I've been around. *NM*

Ever heard George R.R. Martin's story about a signing in the 1990s in the St. Louis area?

My wife was at a bookstore where several signings were going on at once.
