T...Oh, what a wonderful gift for an executive chef! That was very nice that Mr. Keller personalized the books and stood for photos. Many times they (bookstores and/or authors) will not take the extra time to personalize.<br /><br />Well, the authors I've stood in line for probably wouldn't ring a bell with adults... When the girls were little we saw Jan Brett at a local bookstore and Marc Brown of the Arthur series - both authors who we read non-stop when the girls were little. And just last year Amanda and I went to see another of our favorite children's book authors/illustrators, Tomie dePaola, who I posted about. He was promoting his Brava, Strega Nona popup book.<br /><br />I agree, it's so much fun to chat with the people in line - the waiting doesn't seem nearly so long then!<br /><br />DonnaDonnahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07959146424077963520noreply@blogger.com
