Fans started queuing early in the day for the 16.00 event at Tanum book store in Oslo, some even arriving directly from the airport for this last opportunity to meet a-ha and get an autograph. AsNRK reports, there were people from many countries present, braving the below-freezing temperatures in a queue that stretched down the block to get a copy ofThe Swing of Things: 1985-2010signed by Morten, Magne and Paul.

Some fans stayed in the bookstore after their books were signed, to watch the procedings and take photos. Regular shoppers had to step around the crowd to make their purchases.
Unfortunately the queue was so long and time was limited, so some waiting fans did not obtain autographs in the end. According toSide2, more than 100 waiting fans heard the disappointing news that the signing was over.
The author, Jan Omdahl, was also present for part of the signing event and was approached by fans requesting autographs as well. Jan later in the evening participated in a discussion with Norwegian music journalist Audun Vinger, at an hour-long session about the book and a-ha at the House of Literature.
