The Carter Presidential Center: Jimmy Carter Presidential Library &... Atlanta, GA

The author is signing but I don't think this includes JLL.

It appears Jerry Lee is pre-signing a bunch of books. See the snippet below.

“The event at the Cannon Center will be a lot of fun with me and Rick Bragg. Our book turned out great,” Lewis said. “My hand is already getting tired from signing all these books, but I’m looking forward to everyone reading about the real Jerry Lee.”

Tickets for the Nov. 7, 7 p.m. show will go on sale Aug. 29 at 10 a.m. at the Cannon Center box office and www.ticketmaster.com. Prices will range between $30 and $100 per ticket.

Barnes & Noble plays it straight. It's always possible someone could be signing for him...but that would be a nice little scandal for the company.

I think one point of doing it this way is to make it easy for Jerry Lee. This way he just comes in and just does the Q & A session with the author. I'm hoping to see his NYC session. They have about 350 seats.

The next night he's playing BB King's. I saw him a few years ago and the guy's still got it.

The Barnes & Noble store in NYC says the book will be available for purchase on 10/28 (the day before JLL's appearance).

But they apparently don't know if they will have pre-signed copies at that time.

They also don't know how many pre-signed copies they'll eventually have although they believe it will be more than the 350 seats available for the Q & A event.

So...the operative word is confusion.

Eh, those scandals aren't unheard of.

They've sold autopens as "Autographed Copies" before.

It has happened numerous times. Off the top of my head, Sarah Palin was one. I believe Hillary Clinton also did it on a previous book tour. I'm sure others can chime in with other examples.

Wow. That is pretty shady. I understand an auto pen ttm for free but to mislead and rip off fans with "signed" books for sale is too much.

I think Gene Simmons was doing this with one of his books. That the pre-signed copies was autopens. To my knowledge, he was using more than one autopen, but if you open up the whole box, you would see that at least two autographs were the same.
