Graham Edwards, Janet Edwards, Freda Warrington, Joe Abercrombie in Cinema 2 4.00pm - Guest of Honour Interview/Q&A in The Box Lunchtime events tend to be signings of a queue up and get your book signed variety, evening events tend to be ticketed and follow a short talk, reading, Q&A style format, followed by signing. It would be only good manners to by something from the store thats hosting, but if you bring other books of mine to sign Ill do my very best to oblige you. If you bring a lot of books (typically meaning youre a dealer and are going to sell them) or have extravagant requests above and beyond simple signing and dedication, you might have to join the back of the queue and wait for the end. We are somewhat at the mercy of the various shops staffing policies, so cant absolutely promise to get to everything, but we certainly will try. Further details as I have them.
