That brings my total up to 94 stores so far. I'll roll up a few more today.

Big thanks to William Berger (and his wife) for allowing me to stay in their lovely home. Bill has the most impressive book collection I've ever seen. As I write this, I'm tempted to empty out my suitcase and fill it with signed first editions...

To answer a previous question, booksellers have only asked to see ID when I come into a store on three or four occassions out of the thousands of stores I've dropped in. I usually travel with books and coasters, which proves who I am. Once or twice I actually did show an ID. If someone asks for Jack Kilborn ID, I'll simply tell them: "If I were lying to sign some books don't you think I'd pretend to be someone more famous?"

On to FL. I have limited email access, so I won't be able to fully respond for a few days.

As for my reaction to the tour; so far, so good. :)

  1. Sounds like a great tour. Ever plan on making it out to Utah? By the way, I got the copy of "Bloody Mary" in the mail yesterday and have already dug in. I've laughed out loud several times, reading aloud to people around me. That resulted in sideways glances and a few chuckles, oh and quotes back to me later last night. Thanks!

  2. Joe,
    You have made some serious miles since the dog waved goodbye. I saw your (signed) books stacked up in a prominent display today at the local B&N -- further testament to the success of the tour. Safe travels, and thanks!
