We went here to see Eric Carle and have him sign books. I was impressed with the knowledgeable staff who truly seemed to be excited about his books and books in general. They handled a big crowd efficiently and patiently. I was also impressed that they allowed him to sign one book that was not purchased at the store as long as you bought a book there. The only thing that marred the experience is that they sold out of his books pretty quickly. They did have a contingency plan, having him sign a name plate for a book you could order, but I was disappointed that they didn't anticipate the huge draw someone of Eric Carle's prolific career would attract. I definitely would go back here, if I'm in the area or if there is another author I want to see. The prices of the books didn't seem outrageous and I like the idea of supporting an independent and keeping more competition for B&N and Borders alive!
