Sarah Palin will make a stop in Baton Rouge on Nov. 30 to promote her new book. Palin will appear at Books-A-Million in Towne Center at Cedar Lodge at 11 a.m., according to HarperCollins Publishers.
The former Republican vice presidential candidate’s book, “America by Heart: Reflections on Family, Faith and Flag,” is a follow-up to her best-selling memoir “Going Rogue” and will hit shelves Nov. 23.
Store representatives anticipate a large number of people will attend the event.
Customers must have a wristband to enter and will have a designated spot in line depending on the color of the band.
A Books-A-Million manager said customers will receive a wristband upon purchasing Palin’s book.
The wristbands will be given on a first-come, first-buy basis, but the store hasn’t announced when the wristbands will be available.
The first round of bands will be red, guaranteeing customers a space in line to receive an autograph from Palin.
After the red bands run out, purple bands will be distributed. This color band will only allow books to be signed if enough time is remaining.
Palin’s tour will kick off Nov. 23 in Arizona and will end in Ohio on Dec. 3. While in Louisiana, she will also visit Barnes and Noble in Metairie on Nov. 29.
Palin has been in the news lately as she ponders a presidential campaign in 2012.
In an excerpt from an ABC News interview released Wednesday, Palin says she’s considering a presidential run. When asked directly if she thought she could defeat Obama, the former Alaska governor replied, “I believe so.”
An Associated Press-GfK poll earlier this month found Palin the most polarizing of the potential 2012 Republican presidential candidates. The poll says 46 percent of Americans view her favorably, 49 percent unfavorably, and 5 percent don’t know enough about her to form an opinion.
Among adults who identify themselves as Republicans or GOP-leaning independents, 79 percent view her favorably.
