According to White, the Barnes & Noble expects a large crowd and will have hundreds of his book available to purchase before the book signing. Lines at the store will begin at 1 p.m. and the public is required to purchase the book before getting it signed. Senator Brown will only be signing his book and not any other memorabilia.

WRKO Boston radio host, Howie Carr will also be making a book signing at the Barnes and Nobles at 2 p.m on  May 7.  He will be signing copies of his new book “Hit Man.”  White said she is expecting a larger turnout for Carr because his book is brand new.  “Hit Man: The Untold Story of Johnny Martorano" is not scheduled for release until the end of April.
