Been picking these up for a few years now. I agree, this year was not as good as last. However, they do have more per store and better organized. In the past depending on the store it could be a real needle in a haystack search for the signed copies.
I was able to get all the books my wife asked for and sadly only 1 of the three I wanted. The Brian Wilson shananigans were a bummer and I was unable to find Carol Burnett. I was able to get a copy of the Tippi Hedren memoir and was pleased at the great signature.
I would encourage people to search for signed books on the B&N site as they have them regularly. I ordered the Offerman book signed several weeks ago easily.
Also check the Books-a-million and Quail Ridge Books sites as well. Both sell signed copies at publisher prices and often cheaper. I was able to get the signed Outsiders that escaped me last year and also a signed Burke Breathed copy of Bill the Cat at a 15 discount off list at Books-a-million.
