Anderson’s Bookshop Presents Anika Noni Rose
Join Anderson’s Bookshop for an author event with Anika Noni Rose, to celebrate the release of A Princess Is a Princess on Monday, October 19th at 6:00 pm in our Downers Grove store.
Event Format
This event will consist of a signing and photo line. There will be no presentation or Q&A with the author. The line will form in numbered order with the following guidelines:
- Posed photo with your camera taken by our staff
- There is a limit of 2 books from home to be signed (unless otherwise stated)
The “Order Line Number” on your pdf ticket is your reserved place in the signing line. You will line up to meet the author based on that number.
If you cannot attend, you must pick up your book (if included with ticket) at the hosting store within 30 days of the event. We can ship that book to you for an additional charge of $9.99; please call the store to arrange that.
Pre-registration is required for this event because space is limited.
