Signing line:
Customers must have purchased a copy of Alice in a Winter Wonderland to join the signing line from Barnes & Noble (Rome, GA) who will have Alice in a Winter Wonderland and select backlist on-sale at the event.

Arrive early! The first 100 families in line will receive a free signed Jan Brett poster.

Jan will do her very best to sign all of the books that time permits. The number of books that Jan can sign per family depends on how many people come to the signing. If time does not permit Jan to sign every book, the Calhoun-Gordon County Library will have special signed bookplates featuring Jan's artwork for all of the extra books.

Tour Bus:
Jan's tour bus will be parked in the GEM Theatre's parking lot at 9AM. It is wrapped in artwork from Alice in a Winter Wonderland. Your family is welcome to take a photograph next to the bus.

Meet Hedgie:
Hedgie, Jan's favorite friend from The Mitten and The Hat, will be visiting as well. Please bring the kids to have a photo taken with Hedgie.

FAQs:

1) Can I bring books from home for Jan Brett to sign?
Usually the expected attendance at events does not allow for books from home to be signed. However, we are happy to provide as many signed bookplates as you need.

2) Can I have multiple copies of Alice in a Winter Wonderland signed at my turn in line?
Crowd size dictates how many books can be signed per wrist band. Often this only allows one book per wrist band, however, we encourage you to make strategic signing line plans with your friends. Of course, we have signed bookplates for the rest of your purchases.

3) How can I get a good spot in the signing line?
When you purchase your book at the event, Barnes & Noble will give you a wrist band with a number for the signing line. Numbers will be given out in order.

4) I can't wait for two hours! What do I do?
We have beautifully designed signed Jan Brett bookplates for anyone not able to join the line.

5) Can I order a book to be signed even if I don't attend the event?
Crowd size will determine whether there is time for Jan to sign pre-ordered books for customers who are not able to attend the event. If we run out of time, we promise to give you as many beautiful signed bookplates as you need for your order.
