I got a present in the mail on Friday: the first, hot-off-the-press boxed set for the Percy Jackson series. It looks so awesome! It has all five hardcover books in a special camp chest with a secret compartment inside featuring a Camp Half-Blood map and other fun goodies. The boxed set will be available in stores starting Oct. The Last Olympian paperback won’t come out until the spring, so a paperback boxed set of all five titles is probably still another year away, but if you’re looking for a very cool collector’s item, the hardcover set is awesome. Speaking of the Egyptian book, I did my first ‘sneak peek’ reading yesterday at the National Book Festival in Washington, D.C. It was a rainy day but we had thousands of people brave the weather.

We had one hour for the signing time, which was not nearly enough to get everyone through the line, and unfortunately because of security concerns and the tight schedule of the festival, they couldn’t let me stay longer to accommodate more signing. I apologize to the fans who waited and didn’t get a book signed. I tried to catch as many of you as I could between the signing time and my presentation, but unfortunately I had to race to catch a plane after the presentation, and I wasn’t able to get to everyone. I really appreciate everyone who showed up, though!
We had a great time during the presentation. The tent was dangerously overcrowded, but everyone was super polite and no one got hurt as far as I could tell! The kids asked great questions. I read the first page from the Egyptian book, and the response was super enthusiastic, even though the sound cut out on us at the last sentence.
How dramatic! Sorry I couldn’t spend more time with the thousands of fans who attended — you were all fantastic — but I enjoyed my brief trip to Washington. If you haven’t attended the National Book Festival, I highly recommend it.
