[LM_NET] Autographing books--author visit

["Sharyn L. Mudd" <SharynMudd@K12.GINET.ORG>]

Hi LM_NET,
I had a few questions about autographing books for an author visit.  In
April we will be having Gordon Korman visit our middle school.  How do you
handle autographing of books?  We have done a preorder book sale.  Do you
distribute the books to students and tell them to bring the book in on the
days the author will visit to autograph or do you hold on to the books so
students will have them right in hand ready to autograph if they want?  I
would think you would want the students to be able to read the books they
ordered.  Is it wise to have the classroom teachers have them keep them in
the room until the visit or do they just have to remember to bring the book
in?

Also, what are the different ways to handle autographing?  Do most of you
have the students wait in line to have the author autograph or are the
books dropped off with slips in them for the author to autograph at a
convenient time?  He will be visiting with our entire school (850 students)
for two full days.   Any suggestions on how to handle autographing would be
appreciated!  Thanks!
