What Happened Last Week

Last Sunday was the big Adriana Trigiani book signing.  First, let us address a few things that happened.  We are sorry we opened up a little late.  We had to make a huge detour because of a tree down, blocking the road.  We are sorry that the promised freebies weren't there; someone forgot to bring them.  We apologize for the air conditioning for not working.  We have had people in, but they still don't know what is going wrong.  Fortunately, someone helped us by purchasing ice and water.  Overall though, it was a good day.  While it might not have been as big as Adriana's last visit, it was still big.  We would like to thank Adriana for coming in.  She stayed until after 7:30 to finish signing for all the customers in line, as well as the books for those unable to attend or stay.  Although we sold out of all the books she signed, we still have some left that we can get a book plate label for and it can be personalized and signed to your liking.  We will send the remainder back soon, so hurry in.  We would also like to thank all the businesses and organizations that allowed us to put up or hand out flyers, especially all the public libraries east of Lexington (we forgot to include Lexington, sorry).  We would like to thank the Appalachian Express family of newspapers for the great coverage they delivered for us, in ads and articles.  We would like to thank WIFX  radio for the wonderful interview they provided for us.  We had asked local television stations as well to come in, but they weren't able to.  Finally, we would like to thank all of Adriana's fans who showed up, as well as all of our loyal customers.  You proved that smaller markets can support big name authors to come in.  We hope you continue to support us, as long as we can continue to you.  Until next week.
