Photos From Lynn’s Beguiling Book Signing

In October, The Beguiling Books and Art hosted Lynn for an evening event. In addition to signing her latest treasury book and chatting with the attendees, Lynn signed all of her books on their shelves – so if you missed meeting her, you can still get autographed books at their location at 319 College Street in Toronto.

Here are some pictures from the event. Thanks to everyone who attended!

 

Lynn in Toronto, Ontario, Monday October 22nd

Lynn will be attending a book signing in Toronto on Monday, October 22nd at The Beguiling Books & Art on 319 College Street, from 7-9 p.m.

Monday, October 22, The Beguiling is delighted to welcome Canadian comics legend LYNN JOHNSTON to the store to celebrate the recent release of For Better of For Worse: The Complete Library Volume 2 from IDW! Not only was Lynn the first woman *and* first Canadian to receive the prestigious Reuben Award, her influence remains strong in comics to this day, with Raina Telgemeier citing For Better or For Worse as “…the biggest impact on me as far as being a comic artist, writer and storyteller.”

This event will start at 7PM! Come by, meet Lynn Johnston and leave with your very own signed copies of the recently-released hardcover of For Better or For Worse!
