Many of them are here today - and so is CNN. The word is that a segment, shot in the store and probably containing an interview with Otto, will air on Monday or Tuesday, probably in the afternoon. If you miss it, you will be able to find it on line - google CNN and Sherlock Holmes
UK First Editions!!!
The U.S. editions of the following two titles will be signed here in the store. However, the true first editions will be the British. Please let us know if you want a UK edition, so we can order a copy for you:

Do not forget to pre-order Split Image by Robert B. Parker if you would like a signed first edition. This won’t happen until the Fall, but we want to have enough first editions here in the store when Parker stops by. Split Image is a Jesse Stone AND Sunny Randall mystery.
