Best wishes, sell a bunch. Wish I could be there.
Do they have a large selections of books for sale from each of the authors? Or is it BYOB...

I understand that Whitman will have all of their titles plus some others. The authors will likely sign whatever books collectors wish -- after all, it draws traffic to Whitman's booth.
Wish I could be there... would have @RogerB sign my books....and others as well.. darn, I would need a separate suitcase to bring my books...
I already have a few signed coin books... A California Gold Rush/Bowers is a favorite...Cheers, RickO
I hope to be able to stop by. Much of my library is in storage from living overseas but perhaps have a few copies on hand to get signed

Does anyone know if Dr Jim Wiles or John Wexler are going to be at the WFM in Philadelphia? Peace Roy

I ave a Wayne Gretzky rookie card that's already been signed by Pete Rose and Chuck Wepner. I'd be honored if you could add your signature to that.
I'll bite...why in the world would you do this?!

Say what?, Bb cards are elsewhere. Follow the yellow brick road toto. Peace Roy

I met Roger W. Burdette at the ANA for the first time, very nice guy, and great conversation!
An authorized PCGS dealer, and a contributor to the Red Book.
Yep. Rich is a fine fellow. We were sitting outside the door of the Stack's-Bowers luncheon on Wed. We chatted about his plans and how they were working out, etc. Rich was invited for lunch; I was there to meet a collector and return some coins he had loaned to me for research.
As for the Whitman book signings, I think most of the people who stopped by were there to see Dave Bowers and Ken Bressett - the rest of us chickens were just for the comfy chairs.
Both Dave and Ken paid special attention to the kids who stopped by with parents in tow -- many were getting their first Guide Book and were amazed to meet these two numismatic luminaries!
Maybe - if it's not inappropriate here - the next large show could have an authors' table populated by several authors at the same time. Kind of a place to chat with collectors, sign books or articles, and so forth. (I don't think we're ready for "show worn" shoes, hats or jerseys....)
