Last day of the first North American Discworld. Sir Terry Pratchett stopped in front of our dealer tables and casually conversed with his fans. Considering his health, we didn’t ask him to sign two tables worth of new titles, but did get a small batch of blurry phonecam photos.

Nisi Shawl read and signed her collection, Filter House (trade paperback from Aqueduct Press). The reading was recorded, but they never sent us a copy or link. 🙁
She would later write on her blog:
“On December 27, I read at The Other Change of Hobbit. An audience of 8, plus 3 store staff were in attendance. Only one white person sitting there. I thought ‘This must be the most black people this store has ever seen.'”
Rather presumptious. She don’t know the Berkeley demographic very well, do she?
