Brandon Sanderson / Props for Mr. Sanderson!
« on: June 27, 2007, 06:29:04 PM »
Hi, all.
New to the forum.
My wife and I had the opportunity to meet Mr. Sanderson when he did a book reading and signing in Las Vegas--again, on behalf of my city please accept my apologies for such a dismal turnout...
.
We are both employees of the Library District--she has her MLIS and I do not--and we really enjoyed the preview of Alcatraz Versus The Evil Librarians.
I mention this because my wife just attended the ALA--American Library Association--Conference in Washington, DC; and Scholastic was hyping the heck out of Alcatraz.
The publisher seems to be putting a great deal of effort into tagging the book as the "next Harry Potter".
While that is good--exposure--and bad--high expectations--it is nice to see when a publisher really gets behind its author.
I know that I am certainly looking forward to reading my ARC when it arrives from Scholastic.
Thanks!
