Important Details About How Chuck Will Sign Books This Time

According to Todd Doughty, Chuck’s very awesome publicist at Doubleday, here is how Chuck will be handling signing books and meeting fans this year:Yes, we’re changing the signings a bit this year.  First of all, fellow Doubleday author Donald Ray Pollock, author of KNOCKEMSTIFF, will appear with Chuck in Ann Arbor, Minneapolis and St. Louis.  Second, Chuck will be interviewed on-stage at each event regarding not only SNUFF, but also his entire career.  He’ll also be reading and it looks like we’ll have a trailer of CHOKE to show as well.  This will all be followed by audience Q&A and there will be prizes galore, as usual.

In terms of the signing, here’s the lowdown: Chuck will pre-autograph all copies of SNUFF before the tour at the Random House warehouse.  These signed copies of SNUFF will be on sale at each of his events.  However, only the first 150 people in each city will have the chance to meet Chuck as well as have their copies of SNUFF personalized.  Tickets or wristbands will be given out by each store to the first 150 people.  More details to come…since I don’t know how each venue is going to handle passing out the tickets/wristbands.  Also, both the NYC and Denver stores have asked that Chuck not personalize – signed books will be for sale though.

 

Remember, these dates are subject to change.

I figured he'd have to limit his signings eventually or hs hand would fall off. Hope he makes it back to LA...

i am so excited he is coming to NY! a little bummed though that he won't be available to meet...but awesome either way. Smile

So if there's no personalizing in Denver (where he hasn't come since...  Lullaby? Or Diary, maybe.  A long time, and I've never been able to go when he's here) does that mean that we won't be able to meet him, or take pictures with him or anything?  I tend to say stupid things when I meet people I really admire, so I guess that's fine.  But I'd still like to.

Cool, I'm glad for the more info, but I am still wondering if I will be able to meet him at the Denver date or not?  Or is this more like a concert, sit and watch but that's all?

Anyone?

We’ve had to rotate the cities on his tour – he hasn’t been to some of these places in 4-5 years and we needed to re-visit to thank the fans and booksellers.  We hope to add LA and Portland on next year’s tour."

WTF?! That's it! I'm switching over to Dan Brown. Screw those other cities! I'll never read Palahniuk again! It's all Suglia, all the time now! Ooooooh you've made a bitter enemy today! And you've earned Danielle Steele and Ethan Hawke a new devoted reader. How dare you sir! How DARE you! Wait, Where am I?

Ehh...yeah a little disappointed there's no Boston or Maine or anywhere closer to NH but this will give me a reason to do an NY trip that week.

I'm crossing my fingers for some international dates, more specifically canadia, more specifically, montreal. Either way, I'll flee to NY for a few days. After the huge event that was the Rant tour, I can understand a more relaxed go around this time.

random !

 

havent seen you around in a while.  nice.

 

 

oh, yeah.. isnt the word that chuck's doing a double tour this year, one for snuff and the other for the softcover of rant.  i know chuck wants to go back to places he hasnt been in years, but he'll probably hit the norm spots on the second round.  i wouldnt put money on it, but i think it is probably a fair bet.  besides, havent you seen him like four times now ?  Happy

I e-mailed BORDER'S about the Ann Arbor date - planning on leaving at noon for a five hour drive and the event at seven. Well, this is what she said:

"Please contact the store one week before the event for complete details.  At this time we do know that the event will be a wrist-band entrence [sic] event.  Meaning, upon purchase of the book (or proof of previous purchase of the book) the DAY OF, you will be issued a wristband for enterence.  I believe they will be liimited to 150 people.  WE open at 9:00 am."

I find this a little inconvenient. She seems to expect me to get there at 9 or risk chance of not being one of 150. I thought the way I read the announcement the bracelets were just for the signing? This will be my first book tour, but the logistics of it seem to SUCK!

Ummm...any word on where this became the word? I know it was mentioned as a possibility way before the Snuff dates were posted, but I'd be surprised for him to do a larger tour for a paperback the he toured everywhere with in hardcover to go easy on a new hardcover release. But a Rant PBack tour would be nice...for us, the mob of fans.

Somebody should video tape record the event with Amy and Chuck and stream it on the Web site.

That would be awesome.

Dennis-- here's another DVD you could sell.

Sorry to see that Chuck is changing the way he does signings (at least for now).

But, it is understandable given the volume of people that he deals with.

I'd say call the venue in which he is scheduled to appear and see what their procedure will be. I don't think all places handle readings the same way.

I got a question..."No memorabilia whatsoever" - Does that mean don't try to bring memorabilia for signing, or don't bring any memorabilia with you? I imagine it just means don't bring it looking for it to be signed, but that's a strange way of wording it. I'll call the NY place tomorrow or Wednesday.

Still, no one know about Denver?  I can't meet him or take a picture with him?  That's all I want I don't even care about personalizing (that much).  Ho hum.

I already called the store and no one knows anything about it "until closer to time."
