$8 to sign a book you purchased? Fark that.

Maybe it's $8.00 for admission to the festival thing or the presentation. I would hope that with the purchase of the book at the event you'd get the autograph. The book might be worth the purchase price, but wouldn't pay $8.00 for his autograph.

Maybe for Ray's (don't get any ideas) but not for Steve's.

I can vouch for Ray doing it for free. but then again it was before he started hanging with Boy Bands. :biggrin:

That picture that is on the cover of all his books makes me uncomfortable. I usually would lock up the kids if I ran into someone like that...

$8 is worth it, if it is an admission for the festival, or if you get a book. If it is just for the autograph, then greed has taken over. I would hate to think that a celebrity would charge, but you never know...
