Greetings Tattered Cover Customers,
We are thrilled to announce a last minute, very special addition to our schedule of events.
This Thursday, December 13, at 2:30 p.m., former First Lady Michelle Obama will join us in our Colfax Avenue store to sign copies of her new bestselling book, Becoming.
A limited number of wristbands for event access will be available with the purchase of
Becoming
,
beginning
tomorrow (Wednesday, December 12) at 9:00 a.m. Mountain Standard Time.
Books with wristbands will be available for purchase online only, through this link:
Wristbands cannot be purchased in-store or via phone, and copies of
Becoming
purchased in store will not grant you access to the event. Each wristband will admit one person only. (Children under the age of 15 may accompany an adult with a wristband.)
Please read the full event details and guidelines below.
Other than for customers with wristbands,
the lower level of our Colfax Avenue store will be closed from approximately 11:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. on Thursday, December 13
, for this event. Times are subject to change.
A special note for our Friends of Tattered Cover customers. Due to the last minute nature of this event, and the heightened security it will bring, we are unable to offer an advance purchase opportunity for wristbands. Our sincerest apologies.
Thanks! We look forward to seeing you in the store.
Len Vlahos, Kristen Gilligan, and the staff of Tattered Cover

EVENT GUIDELINES
✦ A limited number of Wristbands for event access will be available with the purchase of BECOMING on Wednesday December 12th at 9am Mountain Standard Time, online only through the Eventbrite link on
tatteredcover.com
. There will be no wait list for this event.
✦ Your wristband guarantees ONE (1) signed copy of BECOMING. You may purchase ONE (1) additional signed copy of the book while reserving your wristband. Customers will receive their signed book(s) at the end of the signing line, not at the time of purchase. Books will not be available for pickup before Thursday December 13th. Everyone must have their receipt (printed or digital). Lost tickets cannot be replaced. Customers will present their receipt upon arrival and receive a wristband, then access the signing line on a FIRST-COME, FIRST-SERVED basis. They will present their wristband to pick up their signed books after meeting Michelle Obama.
✦ One wristband is required for each attendee ages 15 and older; no family or group access with one wristband. Children under 15 may accompany one adult with a wristband. Only books purchased through the EventBrite link for this event will be available for signature. Copies purchased in advance will not be able to be signed or exchanged for a signed copy.
✦ Event attendees can check in beginning at 12 pm, on the day of the event, to access the signing line. Event attendees must be checked in by 3 pm in order to guarantee their chance to meet Mrs. Obama and get their book(s) signed. There will be no opportunity for photographs of any kind, posed or impromptu, during the signing. There will be no opportunity for personalization or to have any additional items signed. Mrs. Obama will only be signing copies of BECOMING at this event.
✦ Event attendees should be prepared for airport-style security to enter the signing. Coats, purses, bags, backpacks, briefcases, and weapons of any kind will not be permitted in the signing line. Please limit your personal belongings including cell phones and cameras. We will have a coat and bag check, for your convenience free of charge, though we encourage you to leave all personal belongings in your car or at home. Other than necessary medical devices (canes, oxygen, etc.) customers entering the signing area will not be allowed to have any items in their hands when they’re meeting the author.
✦ We apologize to our Friends of Tattered Cover customers for not offering an advanced purchase opportunity for this event. The late notice of the event, and security protocols for a Secret Service protectee required us to make wristbands available to all customers simultaneously.
✦ The lower level of Tattered Cover will be closed to the general public, including restrooms, for this event. The rest of the location will be open during the event.
