Last night, Quincy Jones got a jump on signing copies of his coffee-table history-of The Complete Quincy Jones: My Journey and Passions, which he'll do for you starting at 6 p.m. at the Barnes & Noble at Lincoln Park. With his good pal Allison V.

Says Allison, Q was a big hit at the hospital as he signed autographs and took pictures with anyone who asked. Told you the man was a sweetheart. So, see you tonight, right? Right.
