You sign the package, silly.
:P
And no, I don't think that signing books is so "twentieth century". You'd be shocked to realize how many people actually ask, or even demand that I sign their book. It's really crazy. I know a few who are "enlightened readers" who don't see that as necessary, but they're still in the extreme minority. That may change in the next 20 years, but I really don't think it will. Book signings are still too important to too many people.
One of the biggest reasons is you get to meet the author in person, so the book has special meaning, plus signed items sell for a ton more cash than non-signed stuff. Just look at the recent book signing for Sarah Palin, or even J.K. Rowling. My gawds, have you seen the massive lines at her book signings!? Seriously. Signings are not dead, and likely won't be for quite a while, as much as some people might want them to die.
