Sir Patrick Stewart surprised bookseller Merle Esson at The Woodstock Bookshop in Oxfordshire by visiting to sign copies of his new memoir, "Making It So: A Memoir."
The actor had noticed copies of his book in the shop's window and decided to drop in. Ms. Esson, who has worked at the independent bookstore for 13 years, expressed her delight and appreciation for Sir Patrick's visit, describing him as a "gentleman" and a strong supporter of literature and independent bookshops.
Sir Patrick Stewart is well-known for his roles in Star Trek, X-Men, and his work with the Royal Shakespeare Company.
