By Erica Pearson / Source: NY Daily News Forget da club. Fitty was in da bookstore Thursday. Hundreds lined up at a midtown Barnes & Noble bookstore to meet Curtis "50 Cent" Jackson, there promoting "The 50th Law," a self-help book he wrote with Robert Greene. "It's an opportunity to inspire hope," said the Queens rapper about his book, which aims to teach people how to live without fear. Fitty said he became a fan of the how-to-succeed guru after reading Greene's tomes - including "The 48 Laws of Power," and "The Art of Seduction" - and approached him several years ago to suggest a collaboration. "Obviously, I've been using his 'Art of Seduction' tactics more than he does," he joked. Fitty dropped his tough-guy image for the afternoon, smiling, shaking hands and chatting with everyone. "He held my hand the whole time," said Valerie Haskins, 56, from Bedford-Stuyvesant. "I just felt the vibes. He's so nice and sweet." A postal worker in the middle of her route even snuck into the line, still clutching a plastic mail tub, to get a copy signed for her fiance. And a young MC who grew up in Jamaica, Queens, just like Fitty, showed him what she could do, rapping away until guards ushered her along. "I just spit it for him," said the aspiring 24-year-old rapper, who goes by Dutchis. "It was wonderful. I gave him my CD and phone number." Fitty kept his cool until a hottie in stilettos and a body-hugging black tunic leaned over and provocatively slid her book across the table. "Now, I can't even figure out how to sign my name," he laughed, winking at onlookers. Related Article: The Core Solution to All Your Problems Introducing
