'I think the TV show is what brings a lot of people in - they've seen the Duggars on TV and want to know if that is really what they are like,' says Flemings.

Flemings says he has gotten calls from viewers in South Carolina, Mississippi and Kentucky who are driving to Chattanooga for tonight's event. The local bookstore is the only Barnes & Noble in the national chain to book the Duggars during their 10-day book tour. Kelly Flemings, community relations manager at Barnes & Noble, says the store is preparing for 800 to 1,000 fans. The whole Duggar clan, with the exception of sons Josh and Josiah, are in town for a book signing tonight at the Barnes and Noble at Hamilton Place mall.
