FAQ

1) Can I bring books from home for Jan Brett to sign?
-Usually the expected attendance at events does not allow for books from home to be signed. However, we are happy to provide as many signed bookplates as you need.

2) Can I have multiple copies of The Christmas Sweater signed at my turn in line?
-Crowd size dictates how many books can be signed per wrist band. Often this only allows one book per wrist band, however, we encourage you to make strategic signing line plans with friends. Of course, we have signed bookplates for the rest of your purchases.

3) How can I get a good spot in the signing line?
-When you pick-up your pre-purchased book at the event, Word on the Street will give you a wrist band for the signing line. Numbers will be given out based on the order in which books are picked-up on the day of the event, not in the order which they were purchased online.

4) I can’t wait for two hours! What do I do?
-We have beautifully designed signed Jan Brett bookplates for anyone not able to join the line.

5) Can I order a book to be signed even if I don’t attend the event?
-Crowd size will determine whether there’s time for Jan to sign pre-ordered books for customers who cannot attend. If we run out of time, we promise to give as many beautiful signed bookplates as you need for your order.
