Hundreds line up at bookstore to get Hillary's signature
By TOM BAXTER Atlanta Journal-Constitution Staff Writer
Debra Washington of West Palm Beach, Fla., took her place at the front of the line to get an autographed copy of Sen. Hillary Clinton's book before the Barnes & Noble bookstore in Buckhead closed Sunday night.
By the time Washington left the Peachtree Road store Monday morning, triumphantly holding two copies of "Living History," Clinton's autobiography, the line of autograph seekers snaked out into the parking lot.
Washington, an airline employee in Atlanta on business, said she'd read about half of the former first lady's book, and was "very inspired by her courage."
Denise Boesel, of Atlanta, also got to the book store Sunday night, with her 8-year-old daughter, Maya, who lives in Munich, Germany, and is visiting her mother. She said wanted her daughter to see Clinton because she was "a great role model for women," a comment repeated often by those in line.
"She got through some very difficult times with dignity, and I can certainly appreciate that," Boesel said.
Sarah-Elizabeth Langford, the daughter of former state Sen. Arthur Langford, was in line with her grandmother.
About eight demonstrators were on hand to protest Clinton's appearance.
"We want to put out the message that there's a lot of history she doesn't want us to know about," said Jim Riticher, who wore a devil suit and carried a sign that said, "I sold my soul to Hillary."
The New York senator signed copies of her memoir for only about an hour and a half -- from 11 to 12:30 today. But Barnes & Noble employees say they are already more people waiting in line than will get an autograph. The bookstore was closed while Secret Service agents swept the area. Visitors had to go through a security screening before meeting the first lady.
