Yeah, I'd noticed Jodi Picoult on the list last time I popped in. Pretty wild. Of course, I know that some "smaller" authors have had challenges getting signings at local NJ stores. Including at least one being told that if they couldn't move a certain number of books (which sounded rather high, something like 500 you mention above) then its not worth it to the store to have you do a signing.
That's something I diagree with. Of course, I hope to have a dog in that fight from the other side one day, so I sure hope that there are more opportunuties for up and comers to get out in front of an audience than just for the all ready big name people.
