Alice McDermott drew a long line to the FSG booth Sunday morning for advance copies of her latest novel, After This; a few aisles over, at the Henry Holt booth, Grady Klein worked his way through a stack of The Lost Colony, Book 1: The Snodgrass Conspiracy, the graphic novel series he's created for First Second Books.

At the Harlequin booth, Gayle Wilson was distracted during her signing by a passing photoblogger while Christina Skye chatted in the background with a fan just out of camera range; at another table, Laura Caldwell signed ARCs of The Rome Affair, her latest suspense novel for Harlequin's Mira line.
