Fun Fact Friday (#2)





Fun Fact Friday is a meme hosted by Lettora at I’m Booked! If you’d like to join and do your own Fun Fact Friday, just ask! At I’m Booked! Every week we’ll give you five new, fun facts.

This week’s five facts:

2.       The largest collection of autographed books is owned by Richard Warren of Lake Forest, California. He has a collection of 2,381 books, all signed by their original authors.

3.       James Patterson, creator of Alec Cross, was announced by Hachette Book Group to be the first author to exceed 1 million sales in eBooks.
