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.
Hmm... Seems to me a Movie Star can sign a photo or a page in an autograph book, so why can't an Author? Maybe a stack of Head-shots with the cover of the Latest book on hand to sign would be better all 'round... or an on line Version that can be printed off and signed as needed.
