A Bookstore Dialogue

"...it's okay for an author to sign at a chain, but he shouldn't admit to an independent that he's doing it?"

Barry Eisler has posted an interesting piece titled, Independents, Chains, and Drive-By Signings, in regards to a recent booksigning event that raises the question about the responsibilities involved when booking signings with both chain and independent bookstores.

Although most independent authors may not have such difficulties in thier own experience, the dialogue is interesting regardless just for it offers a bit of insight of what happens on the other side of the publishing fence.
