Tyra Banks Book Signing Failure: You Purchased it Pre-Signed

[JamesG]

Barnes and Noble at Union Square - NYC
Wednesday - Sept. 21, 2011
7pm Event for Modelland




This was the first book signing I've been to where it was arranged this way.

When you got to the register and asked for Tyra Banks book the cashier explained that you will be buying the book already signed by her and that she will not be signing anything at her event. Her 7pm event will only be a Q&A.

After you purchased the book you were given a free Modelland bookmark.



I stood for the Q&A on the chance that I could still get her to sign something, but no luck.

After the Q&A the B&N employee running the event came to the microphone and told everyone to check the back of the bookmark you were given upon purchasing the book. If you happened to have a sticker on it, you are one of the lucky people that will get to meet Tyra Banks in a private room.

I wasn't one of those people and only 7 people from the event had the sticker.










Here is the pre-signed book that I purchased:













Here is the bookmark:

Great Success even though you didn't get to meet her. What is the book about? Is it a fiction book?

Great Success even though you didn't get to meet her. What is the book about? Is it a fiction book?

This is from the book sleeve:


"Tyra Banks was fifteen years old when she started modeling, the same age as Modelland's Tookie de la Creme. After establishing a supermodel career that she never could have dreamed of, Tyra tackled the world of television creating the hit show 'America's next Top Model', which is seen in over 70 countries, and her two-time Emmy award winning talk show 'The Tyra Banks Show', to become the super businesswoman she always wanted to be. Tyra is a leading voice in empowering girls and is dedicated to expanding the definition of beauty worldwide.

Tyra invested five years in conceiving and writing Modelland, her first book of fiction. Her lifelong love of reading and storytelling is deeply embedded in every page. She was born in Los Angeles, lives in New York City, and has a vacation home in Modelland, where she is feverishly working on her next Modelland novel."
