It's just as important to meet the people as it is to sell the books. Good point, Jai.Karen Denisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15154015690643682525noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2503497006916245273.post-29196446179696299812010-08-26T15:08:15.177-04:002010-08-26T15:08:15.177-04:00Sure, it would have been great if you could have b...Sure, it would have been great if you could have bought a book and supported her but... Don't feel bad that you didn't! You can't buy every book that comes out and everyone has days when they can't afford the money. <br /><br />The good news is that you met this lady and learned about her book and now you'll be able to recommend it to whoever you know will like it. That's what booksignings are all about - informing people about the book. It's not about how many books were sold that day.<br /><br />I've done signings all over the country and I never resented anyone if they didn't book a book. I was just happy that they showed interest and were nice enough to come over and talk to me.<br /><br />JaiJai Joshihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04858987106548357551noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2503497006916245273.post-57647123002640253202010-08-24T18:29:24.213-04:002010-08-24T18:29:24.213-04:00Theresa, I've been racking my brain trying to ...Theresa, I've been racking my brain trying to remember the authors name or the name of the novel. It'll come to me when I'm not thinking of it anymore. If that fails I can call the book store. <br /><br />Nicole, as much as say I could've bought the book and not read it, it's almost impossible for me to have a book and not read it. I may not finish it, if I don't care for it, but I always try. So if I had bought it, I'd have definitely attempted to read it. :-)<br /><br />Yes, Elle, we can only hope to get to that point one day-lol!Karen Denisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15154015690643682525noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2503497006916245273.post-677661814778519602010-08-24T17:27:33.807-04:002010-08-24T17:27:33.807-04:00That happened to me once too.

That would've been okay but I suppose, if we get to that point one day, we will have to accept that people will look and not buy. It's just how it works.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09687047513163296827noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2503497006916245273.post-73959266048200134642010-08-24T15:09:02.990-04:002010-08-24T15:09:02.990-04:00I think only buy of you're gonna read it - oth...I think only buy of you're gonna read it - otherwise its mean to leave the book living unopened :) You can't like everyone's style and we all know that :)Nicolehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17648307410383451558noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2503497006916245273.post-29900385108631682452010-08-24T12:31:22.531-04:002010-08-24T12:31:22.531-04:00I can relate!

The authors are all together in a room, and while a few have nice long lines, many sit... alone. Poor them! But I can't buy everyone's books, can I?<br /><br />If you could look up the author from that store and give a link to the book now, so we can check it out, that would assuage your guilt.Theresa Milsteinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03477761307315565259noreply@blogger.com
