Hillary Clinton Visits Winnetka Shop For Book Signing

The former secretary of state signed copies of "What Happened" and "It Takes A Village" ahead of a sold-out Chicago appearance Monday.

WINNETKA, IL — Last year's defeated presidential candidate and former secretary of state, Hillary Rodham Clinton, appeared at a Winnetka independent bookstore Monday afternoon to sign copies of her latest memoir, "What Happened."

Organizers of the event at The Book Stall, 811 Elm St., said there would be no speech or presentation and no books or items would be signed other than "What Happened," which was included in the ($32.50) price of tickets, and "It Takes A Village," which was made available for sale. Autographed books would not be personalized.

Attendees were required to put away all phones and other devices before approaching Clinton at the signing table, "and no posed photos or selfies" were permitted, according to organizers.
