For those not familiar with Virtual Book Signing™:
Virtual Book Signing™ provides the excitement of attending a booksigning, without having to leave your home. Sit on your couch in your pjs, sipping a margarita, and watch on the computer as your own book is signed. This is a true, "real time" book signing. You are here virtually, watching an event unfold with you as a participant. You can interact with the author via email, order a book and watch it signed online. In a few days your book will arrive at your doorstep.
Launched in November 2005, Virtual Book Signing™ has, so far, featured sixteen authors. Our inaugural web cast featured Pulitzer Prize-winning author, Doris Kearns Goodwin. Our most recent events feature Thomas Craughwell on Stealing Lincoln's Body and William Harris discussing Lincoln's Rise to the Presidency. Michael Beschloss dropped by to talk about Presidential Courage. Previously, Gary Joiner and Timothy Smith joined us for a program on The War in the West, featuring the books Shiloh and Through the Howling Wilderness. Other shows have included Harold Holzer, Frank Williams, Richard Lawrence Miller, Douglas Wilson, Gabor Boritt, Tom Wheeler, Brian Dirck, Phillip Shaw Paludan, Edward Longacre and the legendary Ed Bearss. Please visit the Archive page for condensed versions of these web casts.
This new venture was introduced by Daniel Weinberg, an antiquarian book and autograph dealer, and proprietor of the Abraham Lincoln Book Shop in Chicago . “Traditionally, book signings mean leaving home and then waiting in line in order to meet an author for a few seconds to get a book signed,” says Weinberg. “ Virtual Book Signing™ permits you to attend an in-shop booksiging without leaving home. You see an author speak via a streaming web cast. Then you may place an order and see the book signed while you watch.”
