Does William do signings or anything of the like? I would love to shake his hand.

He has in the past. Under the heading for Announcements the description nentions a tour for pattern Recognition, so it seems you may soon have your chance.

I can only hope.

... on eBay, some of his books are more rare if "unsigned", such as it seems a UK edition Neuromancer. But as so many of them are also inscribed, I don't think I could buy a WG book (or many other authors' books) with an inscription to "Betty Mae" or what have you. Yeah, he signs.

Sometimes he draws neat little pictures too. Whoops, nope that was Gaimen!

I have the distinct BURN to have had him sign 2 different anthologies of short stories that Bruce had a story in too! Bruce called me on it, sitting next to William at the signing....
"I could sign those too for you..." OUCH!

I've got his short story from the Vision of Tomorrow SF museum guide -- his first writings on the bridge dwellers with sketches!!!

And I never had him make them out, "To Me" or nuthin, just a good ol' John Hancock on the title page...

He signs after readings and Q&A during the booktour....

This will be posted 'officially' shortly - here's the schedule as it looks right now [forwarded by an insider at his publisher].

Good job Tiger! I'll see everyone in Walnut Creek and Berkeley!!!

WG usually signs at the White Dwarf here in Vancouver. I expect that his busy schedule won't give him a chance to drop by until the end of Feb. He has been very gracious to hang out at the shop for a couple of hours each time a book has come out.

Well, if he's not coming down to Philadelphia, looks like I'll have to head up to NYC. Ah, well.

Huzzah!... Returning to Portland for a 3rd (possibly more) time....

- Eclipse

Yes. Portland!!!! I am so happy, good news indeed. Is this confirmed? I really would hate to have my hopes smashed to pieces.

I beleive Cinci would be a great addition to the signing tour. It is the nexus for Indiana, Ohio, and Kentucky. Plus I live here, and it would ROCK! Lol!

Dead in Porkopolis

Nice if Mr. Gibson could come to Marion, VA or even better Wise, VA. Oh yeah..no bookstores...nevermind.

Portland is a fairly small city. We can probably thank the awesome might and literary rep of Powells's City of Books for getting Mr. Gibson to show up.

BookPeople in Austin (www.bookpeople.com) is the largest indie bookstore in Texas. Please have pitty on us victims of the Cultural No-fly Zone in the middle of America.

Yea, a DC visit!
