From prior painful experience at Barnes & Ignoble:

they sell memberships in a book club that gives you line-jumping rights. Essentially, they set up separate lines. And the last time I went there, they didn't cut off memberships - so when people got sick of waiting, they ponied up the $30 or whatever, and linejumped.

Taking their friends with them.

The signing I attended started at 7:30. I got my books signed close to midnight. It ruined the whole thing.

Moral? Besides getting there early, consider whether your time is worth their line-jumping fee. I'd ordinarily say no, but given the 5- to 6-hour wait I endured, that might have changed.

Or I just don't attend their signings...

Darn, I'll be out of town that weekend. (But I did meet him at ConJose.) Neil Gaiman will be in town the week after, at SJSU.
