Book World Presented by Penguin Random House is returning to San Diego Comic-Con this year, where they’ll have a massive amount of talent on hand, book giveaways, panels, and more.

You can stop by Booth #1514 and #1515 all week long for signings with Katie Cook, Kiersten White, Robin Hobb, and many more.

All signings are subject to change. Some signings may require a purchase.

For all signings in the booth, distribution of tickets will begin at 10am PT at Table 1 and move to the checkout area at 10:45am. For signings that require a book purchase, tickets will be distributed at the time of the book purchase while supplies last.
