Not BANNED, just BUSY...

I stopped by the Barnes & Noble to do a little more "advanced recon" earlier this evening.

LAST WEEK when I stopped by, they had a few nice displays, but with only five or six books each, and a few nice little signs -- printed on 8 1/2 x 11 inch color printer pages.

I was concerned. But, that was THEN...

NOW, they have a HUGE TABLE full of Ann's new books, in preparation for tomorrow's event:

4 rows x 11 stacks x 12 high = over FIVE HUNDRED hardback copies of "Guilty"!
(Even Kirk Douglas only sold 200-300 copies when HE was here -- their PREVIOUS record for a booksigning at this location.)

Plus, they now have a GIANT (but very elegant) BANNER -- six feet wide, and four feet tall welcoming Ann to Barnes and Noble!

And, they have MOVED her booksigning table from it's previously-planned "train wreck"-in-waiting position DOWNSTAIRS, to an UPSTAIRS location -- just inside a massive "picture window," so that everybody in the mall can see her as they walk by!

They are apparently also bringing in LOTS of extra staff, including some big shot REGIONAL mucky-muck.

We are going to BLOW THEIR MINDS with this one.
"We" being me, and a few of my FRiends. :o)
