Image of the Day: Michelle Obama Signs at Politics and Prose

Shelf Awareness


Yesterday at Politics and Prose, Washington, D.C., some 260 people stood in the rain to meet First Lady Michelle Obama and have her sign copies of American Grown: The Story of the White House Kitchen Garden and Gardens Across America (Crown). Noting that Mother's Day is this Sunday, she said, according to the Washington Post, "I would buy one for my mom, but she already has 10."


Politics and Prose director of marketing Lacey Dunham reported that the signing "went spectacularly thanks to our phenomenal, hardworking staff and the terrific folks at Random House--including our wonderful rep, Sherry Virtz. We're honored the First Lady selected us as the location for her book signing." The store--and co-owner Bradley Graham--offered this unusual greeting.
