Does anybody know a site that documents book sales? If not, then does anybody at least know how to find a way to document the sales of Lunar Park? I'm eager to see how many people "care" about Ellis after such a long absence.

There is an industry service called Book Net, but it is not available to the public.

Has anyone seen him on tour yet? I'm wondering if he just reads from the book, which would be pretty boring if you've already read it. I imagine there's a signing session but I'm hoping for a little more insight into his writing and a q&a session.

Anyone?

I went to see Bret last night in New York City at the Barnes and Noble on East 17th street. He read a section of Lunar Park and did a question and answer session. After a few questions everyone lined up for a book signing session. I waited almost one hour and thirty minutes but it was well worth it. He is a very kind man and said he loved all the movies based on his books (even the rules of attraction)

Jeff...did anybody have any pictures with him or anything? Because my g/f, who's coming with me to the Chicago signing, has a black and white camera, and I want to either get a pic with him or just of him.

you can take pics but from a distance (not from the "stage"). he reads for 15 minutes and takes some questions and then signs. you can have him sign as many copies of "lunar park" as you want but he will only sign one copy of a previous book and will not sign anything else. also, he will not personalize the book (just an autograph).

He actually personalized the book for the people in front of me, so you can probably get it done too. I only saw three or four people get a picture with him, that's because they were the only people to ask. He seemed like a nice guy and would do it for you if you asked him.

Well that's good news. Thanks for the info.
