Bookshop Santa Cruz presents bestselling author David Sedaris!

Bookshop is thrilled to welcome the hysterical David Sedaris for an in-store book talk and signing of his upcoming book, Theft by Finding. As a requirement of his publisher, this appearance will be held at Bookshop Santa Cruz, so tickets are limited. The store will be closed for this event: Tickets will be required for entry.

We have three ticket packages available for this event, each to be sold on a first-come, first-served basis:

  • Central Seating – Seating in the main part of the store with a sight line to Sedaris at the podium. CENTRAL SEATING IS SOLD OUT.
  • Additional Seating- Seating in the paperback fiction room with limited sight lines but with viewing on a large monitor. ADDITIONAL SEATING IS SOLD OUT
  • Standing Room – Standing room only. No sight line is guaranteed but you can hear the whole performance. STANDING ROOM IS SOLD OUT

All ticket packages are $30.52 which includes one ticket to the event plus one copy of his new book, Theft by Finding. Your ticket will also give you prioritized access to the signing line.

Please note: The store will be closed for this event and a ticket is the only way to attend.

SIGNING LINE ONLY OPTION: Since David Sedaris is so awesome, he wants everyone to have the opportunity to say hello and get books signed. SO, after he is done with his book talk, Bookshop will re-open our doors for the signing portion of the evening. We will call folks up to have books signed according to the number on their ticket, but non-ticket holders can reserve their spot in the signing line by purchasing Theft by Finding (they'll receive numbered signing line voucher at the register, or you may choose the signing line voucher option below). 

Not able to buy the new book? You can still say howdy to Sedaris and get any of his other books signed--as long as you don't mind waiting until the end. Sedaris has graciously agreed to stay at the store until everyone's had a chance to have books signed--or until his hand stops working. David will stay to meet each and every one of you!
