Authors Visit, Authors Sign

Hundreds of authors visit Powell's stores every year, reading from their works, taking questions, and signing their books. Now you can order signed copies from virtually every author that comes to visit! Browse the books on this page, or view our upcoming author events and preorder a signed copy of your favorite author's book.

Orders will be filled in the order in which they are received. In the rare case that an event is cancelled or we are otherwise unable to fill your order, you will be notified via email. Preordered books will be shipped to you and are not available for pick-up in the store the night of the event*. To ensure availability, orders must be placed no later than 2 days before any event. Also, we are sorry but we can not accommodate personalized inscriptions. Thanks for your understanding.
