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 includes 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?

Your place in the signing line is determined by when you purchased your book. Bookstore staff will assist in lining up ticket holders based on their ticket numbers.

If the event is ticketed through Brown Paper Tickets, your actual signing line number will appear as a “seat number.”
