Reading
Just back from Dave Mason's reading in the Thursday series at Poor Richard's. He read from Ludlow, which I recommend highly if you're in the mood for some verse narrative. Had a nice time and a couple beers afterward too. Real post tomorrow or so, even though no one reads on Friday and Saturday.

Question
Just back from a reading by Kate Northrop and Jane Hilberry at Poor Richard's bookshop, which was a lovely time (with a fun afterward, as you may be able to tell from the timestamp on this post).
Anyway, I have a question: where does the convention come from for a writer to cross out their name on the title page when they sign a book for you? I've seen tons of writers do it, and I have no idea what it means. If I ever publish a book, I'll want to know why I should or shouldn't do that.
