Post them here! (Please pretty please!)

Plenty already up on Flickr! including the "Amazon Fishbowl" event (whatever that is)

He did a speaking and signing event at the Amazon corporate office, FP. That's the 'fishbowl'

Ah...such corporate perks!!

Tom Nissley, one of the book editors there (and a truly great and smart guy), did a wonderful interview with WG. I've linked to it before, but worth pointing to it again.
Amazon WG interview

Thanks for the reminder - I haven't read all of that yet. Was on dial-up for a while and am currently jetlagged.

Looks like WG has gotten some new titanium eyeglass frames.

Something just came to me. Flickr and other, so called, social networks are a lot more active then they where in 2003, when Pattern Recognition emerged.

Never been to a book signing, so I am just guessing, but it seems that a photo opportunity is part of the package. I am sure that these kind of photos have always been appreciated and treasured by there owners. However, now, more and more of them find there way on the net. And people looking for them will find them.

Well, in flickr's case, it didn't launch until 2004.

a lot of the time book signings seem to be cattle markets, of sign and get out.

the edinburgh ticket says no cameras, though no idea how hard they'll enforce that.

I didn't see anyone getting photos with Bill in SF.

last night i met kitsune in glasgow's borders, we drank caffiene in the in-store starbucks, and product changed hands.

From the San Francisco reading *in church* as said in his blog (08/08/2007)

That's a great shot. Of a great mug.

Nice photo, FPoirot. I also like the one you took with WG's portrait on the back cover of Spook Country in focus, and WG himself blurred in the background.

Looks like those thieving Wikipedians have purloined FPoirot's portrait of The Maker for their own sinister devices: William Gibson Wikipedia article

It's Creative Commons licensed, so they're free to do so. Good choice, I think.

The polycephalous monstrosity of digital maoism is all pervasive.

The Maker was kind enough indeed to let me snap up-close...
Thanx all for your comments, encouraging for my first post!
And now, I need to drop the camera and read the book .

Here's some shots from Evanston, Illinois today. At the front of the line were some forum members, one of whom I was able to ask if he didn't mind being identified in meatspace. And that would be supercide who is holding a framed copy of my Burning Chrome poster.



And Mr. Gibson commenting on said poster, then signing the frame.



And a lovely signature for my book.



As usual, an interesting reading and signing by a thoroughly charming author. Can't wait for the next one.

BTW, they noted that this was the largest crowd they had ever had for an author signing. Damn right.

He's caffinated! Good.

Thanks for sharing, Charlie Athanas.

I posted these elsewhere, but to make FashPo happy here's the best of the photos I took:
