they are doing it again… Book Signing with Guillermo del Toro. They recently had a book signing at the WETA CAVE. This drew a large crowd to a quiet suburb. Expect even more people to turn up to Unity Books right in the heart of Wellington city. I have heard Unity Books have hired security (!) and will have street entertainment for the crowds.

Wellington has hadbook signings with Alan Lee, John Howe and Mr Del Toro in recent weeks. As more Lord of the Rings regulars return for the making of the Hobbit I think Wellington can expect more local signings, sightings and interactions. Very exciting and in contrast to how everybody saw the ‘stars and crew’when they were here making the Lord of the Rings movies.

Funny how different your treated with Oscars on the window sill.

More details below:

Hollywood director Guillermo del Toro is being hosted by Unity Books for a signing session for his first novel, “The Strain” – the first volume in a trilogy, co-written with thriller writer Chuck Hogan, about a vampiric virus that invades New York.
