Reply #56: Article on the Boston book signing

"There was a steady trickle of people ambling into the Barnes & Noble at the Prudential Center Tuesday afternoon to buy Sen. Scott Brown’s book." http://www.wbur.org/2011/02/22/brown-memoir Now, I remember going with my kids about an hour early to a local NJ bookstore where J K Rowling was signing books - and being told that the 200 people already in line were the max that could get in the store and many at the end would not get their books signed.

When Bill Bradley came for a book signing in Mendham (Christie's home town), there was a solid line that for us took about a half an hour to get to the front - and we weren't the end of the line. This was I think in 2006 or 2007

These were small town NJ, My oldest stood in line in NYC to get Obama to sign the paperback edition of his book for hours in I think 2005.

"steady trickle" seems pretty light given the intense wall to wall publicity.
