Barnes & Noble Signed Books Promotion

I was too late last year to take advantage of the Barnes & Noble signed books promotion, so I made a special trip to the bookstore this morning hoping to pick up a signed copy of Isabel Allende's The Japanese Lover.  Because she is one of the more "literary" writers who signed books for the event, I was a little concerned that signed copies of her book would all be gone by the time I got there.  But I shouldn't have worried.  There were about eight copies on the shelf and I bought one of the two they sold during the 45 minutes I was in the store.

I don't mean to be this some kind of ad for Barnes & Noble, but this promotion does offer a rather unique opportunity to pick up signed copies of some very popular writers.  For those of you unable to visit a brick and mortar B&N in the next day or so, these titles are also being offered online, but you probably should hurry because this promotion is a popular one.  I didn't see all of these titles on display this morning and I do know that a couple of the "Fascinating Celebrities" had already sold out (Drew Barrymore and that Kim Kardashian person)...saying a lot about what people are willing to spend their money on, I think.
