Q: How do signings work?

Most authors will give a 20-30 minute talk, and then take questions from the crowd. Once the discussion portion of the event is over, we'll line customers up in small groups to get their books signed. RSVPs will be given priority, so RSVP and per-order your book if you know you’ll want it signed!

Q: Why do I have to purchase the author's new book from UTU?

Purchasing the book from us is the easiest way to show the publisher that they should keep sending authors to us. Book events are costly. The store has expenses for staying open and staffing, the publisher has travel and lodging to pay for, and the author is spending time away from home.

Q: How early should I arrive for a signing?

That's up to you. We set up half an hour before most events. Seating and parking is first come, first served, and can go quickly for large events. We have a microphone for the authors, and plenty of standing room. If you want guaranteed seating, please RSVP.

Q: Will the author sign my earlier books?

For most events, the first time through the line the author will sign their new book and up to two other items. A limit may be imposed for authors who draw large crowds.

Q: Can I bring food or drink to the event?

Unless provided by the store, food is not permitted at events. We do allow beverages, but ask that it has a lid, and that you throw away any trash. Our Cafe is open during daytime events, so you can order from them.

Q: I can't make it to an event, can I still get a book signed?

YES! Give us a call, stop in, or order online and we'll get a book signed or personalized for you. We can even ship it. Just let us know ahead of time.

Question 1

How much does it cost to attend a signing?

Accepted Answer

Unless otherwise listed, our in-store talk/readings are free to attend. However, if you want to get any books signed, the author's newest book must be purchased from UTU. We do encourage you to buy a book to support the author taking the time and our planning efforts. <3
