Quirk Books Heads to Wizard World Philadelphia (And A Giveaway!)
It's been a while since the Quirk Books crew went to Philadelphia's Wizard World, an awesome convention that hits the Pennsylvania Convention Center every year. And we're really thrilled to be heading back. Especially since the con is right in our backyard. Well, not literally. It's like, ten blocks away or something. But you get what I'm saying.
This year, we'll be at Booth 1724, and we're bringing some authors and a ton of giveaways with us.
Awesome giveaways will include the wonderful Quirk Books Totes Books tote bags (that will never be easy to say), posters of How to Make Your Cat an Internet Celebrity, Nick & Tesla's High Voltage Danger Lab, and William Shakespeare's The Jedi Doth Return and Empire Striketh Back.
As for signings, we've got…
FRIDAY: 2PM – 3PM – Some guy named Eric Smith, signing The Geek's Guide to Dating.
SATURDAY: 11AM – NOON – Stephen H. Segal will be signing copies of Geek Wisdom.
SUNDAY: 11AM – NOON – Dustin Fenstermacher will be signing copies of How to Make Your Cat an Internet Celebrity.
In the meantime, for those of you not going, we've got a lil' giveaway scheduled! Enter to win a totebag full of posters and all three of those books, signed! We're giving away three. Good luck!
