Caroline Kennedy has plenty of fans in Naperville

Fans of Camelot easily outnumbered the gift-giving set at Anderson's Bookshop in Naperville today.

Caroline Kennedy, daughter of former President John F. Kennedy, was signing copies of her holiday-themed book "A Family Christmas."

"She is a phenomenal woman who continues to do great things," said Karen Volkmer, of Warrenville. "It would have been great to hear her give a talk."

But Kennedy was just signing books at the store today. Two lines moved seamlessly through the store. One line snaked through the racks toward the counter to buy copies of the book, while the second started at the registers and wound through the aisles to Kennedy's table.

"We bought several copies to give as gifts, but we thought of someone else while we were in the signing line and so my wife went back to buy another copy," said Roger Hendrickson, of Naperville. "I voted for her father, so I'm absolutely intrigued with Caroline Kennedy and the good she has done and continues to do."

This is Kennedy's second visit to Naperville in two years. In 2005, she spoke to several local junior high school students and signed copies of a book of children's poetry she had compiled.

Another celebrity visits Naperville today, too.

TV journalist Tom Brokaw will discuss his new book "Boom! Voices of the Sixties" at 7 p.m. at North Central College's Pfeiffer Hall, 310 E. Benton St. Tickets are $35 and available at Anderson's Bookshop, 123 W. Jefferson St. or at andersonsbookshop.com.
