JIM ACOSTA’S ‘QUIET’ BOOK SIGNING: 30 BOOKS SOLD
Acosta showed up Wednesday to the Barnes & Noble in Arlington, Virginia, for an impromptu book signing. Acosta tweeted out pictures of himself at the “surprise signing” displaying a stack of books and himself signing one.
An Arlington Barnes & Noble employee told The Daily Caller the signing was not a planned event, but Acosta had called the store in advance to alert them he would be coming. The employee told the Caller the signing consisted of Acosta standing behind a counter and signing books for about an hour.
“It was kind of very quiet — he showed up and signed,” she said. She said there were “no customers waiting for him to sign his book” — he simply appeared without an announcement.
A manager at the Arlington Barnes & Noble told the Caller that the store sold “like 30-or-something” copies of Acosta’s book while he was there. He said the store still has some of Acosta’s books in stock.
Acosta’s signing drew comments on social media, many of which mocked him for what they perceived as a small number of people at the signing.
“Jim Acosta goes unnoticed at book signing, signs book for himself,” one person captioned the photo Acosta had tweeted.
