In 2014 we picked Seeds of Hope by Jane Goodall for our First Editions Club. (It was one of the rare nonfiction picks, which means it must be pretty great.) Jane sent us these photos of her signing all the copies for our members, with a friend for company, of course. Thank you for everything, Jane.
