-
@dagret: I waited in line for like 8 hours--outside, in August, in New Orleans--to get it signed. Totally worth it. I hugged him. He's much taller that I imagined!
-
@dagret: David Sedaris, that's awesome!
-
Laurie Garrett The Coming Plague.
-
One by Jane Goodall and one from Sally Ride, one from an arctic explorer who skied to the North Pole and back.
-
In middle school I went to a book signing event with Ann M. Martin, she of The Babysitters Club fame, ha. I have no idea where that book is now...probably sold at some garage sale for 25 cents.
-
the ad hoc cookbook signed by thomas keller.
-
I have "It Gets Better" signed by Dan Savage. And a ton of poetry books.

@MediaNaranja: Ah, I would have loved that when I was a kid!
I had Brett Easton Ellis sign my copy of Glamorama at a reading, and Amy Sedaris signed my copy of I Like You. -
I have a book signed by Toni Morrison. My college pals and I bought her book then attended a reading and q&a session by her.
-
I don't. I saw a set of books signed by Mark Twain at an antique fair las weekend. It was going for $8k!
-
We have the charm city cakes book signed by Duff and his brother. I got to go to the Q&A and meet them. It was pretty awesome.
-
Signed cookbooks from Giada and Ina Garten.
-
a ton of YA and children's books....
John Green, Veronica Roth, Judy Blume, Mo Willems, Jon Sciezka, Eric Carle ....
Adult books...hmmm...off the top of my head, my favorites are signed copies of A Thousand Splendid Suns and the Kite Runner--Khaled Hosseini and Fahrenheit 451/Ray Bradbury.
I got them all at author dinners, except for the last two, which I actually waited in line for.
Perks of being a librarian!
-
@Bao: I saw him last night! He was hilarious.

I have photo books that are signed. Patrick Demarchelier, Annie Lebovitz, Steve McCurry.
I also have four of five books signed by a Belgian author, Amélie Nothomb.
Deluxe by Dana Thomas (I was her daughter's nanny while she was writing the book).
@anagram: That is an awesome perk as a librarian! Living in NYC was great for book signings too.
-
Thomas Keller, Padma Lakshmi, Tom Colicchio, and a few from Martha Stewart... all cookbooks! I may be leaving out a some others...
my daughters each have one signed children's book so far... my eldest has one by Kristi Yamaguchi (Dream Big Little Pig) and my youngest has one by Ziggy Marley (I Love You Too).
-
I have too many to count. I love going to book signings of my favorite authors. I'm going to get Jennifer Perillo's Homemade with Love signed this month when she comes to Raleigh to talk about her cookbook.
-
I have a signed copy of Now I Can Die in Peace by Bill Simmons. My friend gave it to me because he is a huge Red Sox fan...which I am not!
-
Augusten Burroughs. Running with scissors, and I got my mom one of his other books signed.
-
Unfortunately the only one I have is whatever the book was that Lance Bass wrote signed by him. It's a terrible book, I never finished it.
-
Just one! A copy of Jasper Fforde's 'One Of Our Thursdays Is Missing." Love him! He was so nice at the book signing!
-
@autumnlove: I love Bill Simmons!!
-
A few Jodi Piccoult's (my friend brought me to a few readings), Francesca Lia Block, Irvine Welsh, and Lauren Conrad (wanted to meet her, don't judge, haha).
-
@lamariniere: honestly....I have so many now that I totally don't appreciate them. I don't even know where they all are, and I started having the authors sign something vague without my name, so I could give them to friends and family!
Actually, that's what I enjoy most, I guess---I've given my nieces and nephews lots of signed children's books. And got my mom one from Judy Blume, which she loved. So spreading the author-signing love around is cool.
