  I have a couple which I queued to get signed - the autobiography of the legend that is Murray Walker (who shook my hand!) and one of Michael Palin's travel books. We had a very informative 20-second conversation about The Life Of Brian!!!

  I took my daughter to a Jacqueline Wilson book signing and she was thrilled to have a book signed personally to her by her favourite author.
  
  I also went to the book launch of Carole Matthews latest book and she signed a book to me too.

  Rise of the Ogre - The Gorillaz Autobiography, signed by Jamie Hewlett and Damian Albarn in front of me.
  
  Some great artwork.

  I got a book signed by John Grisham plus a photo with him which was cool since he doesn't make too many public appearances

  I have hundreds of signed books, including those signed by:
  
  J G Ballard
  Brian Aldiss
  Michael Moorcock
  Keith Roberts
  Graham Joyce
  Ramsey Campbell
  Jack Vance
  Roger Zelazny
  Thomas M Disch
  John Sladek
  Richard Cowper
  Ray Bradbury
  Clive Barker
  Richard Matheson
  Dennis Etchison
  George Clayton Johnson
  Dan Simmons
  Robert Bloch
  Philip Jose Farmer
  Fritz Leiber
  Christopher Lee
  
  Of these I actually attended the signings by Ballard, Aldiss, Moorcock, Joyce, Campbell, Cowper, Farmer & Lee. Some were at conventions, some at Forbidden Planet in London. Joyce & Campbell were the most fun to meet, Lee the most perfunctory.
