Thanks so much to all who came out to the Lawyer Boy book reading/signing/magic show this week—all 130 (!) of you. Several people have told me that the inscriptions I wrote in their books were illegible.

I have awful handwriting. I get it.

So…in case you were one of those people who got an illegible message, here were some of the more popular ones I wrote. See if the message in your book could be one of these:

“Enjoy!”

“Enjoy the book!”

And, if you are a lawyer, I probably wrote this in your book, “Get ready to defend me when my dad sues for defamation.”

Hope that clears things up.

AND…for those of you who couldn’t make it to the reading, here are some pictures of what you missed:

Today I studied for three hours at the Gold Coast Barnes & Noble. Around hour two, I took a break and asked one of the store workers whether I could sign the in-store LAWYER BOY copies. (I’m told that authors do this.)

“This one is your book?” the store clerk asked.

“Yep.”

“Can I see some identification?”

“You’re joking me.”

“I’m not joking you; I have to see identification.”

“There’s a picture of me in the jacket flap.”

The guy looked at the picture, then back to me, then back to the picture, then back to me.

“Let me get you a pen.”

“Wait….do a lot of people come in here asking to sign books they haven’t written?”

“You’d be surprised.”

“So…yes?”

“It’s happened more than once.”

“Have YOU seen it happen?”

“Let’s just say, it’s happened more than once.”

Come on. That’s just crazy. Under what circumstance would somebody do that? I’m skeptical…

IN OTHER NEWS

I’m doing my first of two book readings tomorrow. FRIDAY JULY 11th at 7PM at the BOOK CELLAR in Lincoln Square. (That’s right off the Brown Line Western stop.) If you’ve got nothing else going on, come on by. There’ll be magic tricks and wine. Plus you can meet my dad, Lawyer Man.
