Apparently, there was a book signing, and the author doing the signing was BJ Habibie, Indonesia's third president, who had just recently launched his second book after he retired from presidency. The book, entiled "Habibie & Ainun", is about his true-love story with his wife, Ainun.
He wrote the book after Ainun, his wife for 48 years, passed away in May last year, and out of deep bereavement he was diagnosed with severe pyschosomatic malignant. His doctor suggested three options to treat his illness and one of them was to write what later became this book.

Book signings are fun and a great subject for a daily photo blogger to find! I'm hoping to attend an upcoming book signing by our governor on Tuesday....
Wow, you have great timing!
Fantastic. Love when fun synchronicity happens.
right place at the right time. good for you.
And you were able to get so close to take pics -what an opportunity! Was thinking that his cod gave him an unusual "prescription"...and it worked:)
Is this president "softer" in his approach to reign the country, or?
Very special photo op for your blog!
That is so nice he chose to write a book about his wife.
Our president's wife was buried today. He is so sensitive; I hope he can cope with this sudden loss.
