There weren't quite as many people packed inside the Barnes & Noble store in Cherry Hill for Carli Lloyd's book signing Thursday night as there were in Vancouver's BC Place for last year's World Cup final, or even Talen Energy Stadium for Lloyd's last game in the region in April.
But you could barely get in the store an hour before the event started, and the line to get autographs and pictures only grew longer as the evening progressed. It was the only stop in the Philadelphia region of the 12 on Lloyd's tour to promote her book, When Nobody Was Watching: My Hard-Fought Journey to the Top of the Soccer World.
