Event FAQs

How do I attend?

In-store events are free and open to the public. To join the signing line, please purchase a copy of the author’s new book from Anderson’s.

Off-site events require a ticket, which usually include the new book. The cost is dependent on the cost of the book.

Can I get my book from home signed?

A purchase from Anderson’s is required to join the signing line; additional books from home of older titles can be signed at the discretion of the author.

Can I get a photo with the author?

Those guidelines are determined by the author and the publisher, so check each event for specifics.

What is a signing line number?

The order in which you purchase your book/ticket determines the order of the signing line. This reserved place is indicated on your signing line ticket or as a “seat number” for tickets through Brown Paper Tickets. This means that you don’t need to arrive early to reserve a space!
