How does a Arnold Schwarzenegger book happen? Don't so many people have to have books being subbed for that opp?

 

Really curious how this happens. Since witnesses cannot sub for themselves how do books like this and the Lucas book happen?

They happen the same way as any other SS books - with both a CAW and a facilitator being present for the signing.

Anymore information than that?

 

I see books signed by people that never attend cons, like George Lucasm Arnold, Meghan Fox, Ewan Mcgregor.

 

Do you have to set up a meeting with that actor directly and fly out a CAW to have the signing witnessed? If so why are their so few of these books. Wouldn't multiple get done at these signings?

 

I really am just curious how this all works.

By the date of the Schwarzenegger book it happened at his book signing on Oct. 3rd in Ohio Signing Now add that with a CAW and a facilitator and mystery solved.

Most likely WonderCon or San Diego Comic Con.

 

I guess if that's it that's it.

 

I am just surprised to see so few of them available if they were signing at a big con like SDCC. The Arnold book recently posted was done on 10/3/2012.

 

I'm not trying to cry foul on anything here, or seem stupid about not knowing how the SS program works.

 

There's just something I'm missing I guess.

Maybe I'm just surprised that opps like that don't get more publicity I guess.

Because they aren't really opps. they are a wing and a prayer and a fervent hope that something, anything will get signed. The facilitator who puts it together has to pay all the CAW expenses himself being that it's only going to be a handful (max) that get done. So it's not something that's going to get a lot of pub beforehand because there's a good chance that nothing will get done.

 

I am sure for every book that's done there are plenty of times nothing gets done.

That's it in a nutshell. If someone is willing to take the risk and pay the costs, that's how a book like that can get done. Also, it's usually tied in with a convention in the same city. Sigs like that are a very risky endeavor. I have taken the risk many times and came away with nothing.
