Alec Baldwin[1] — whose spy role in “Mission: Impossible — Fallout” was all too brief — drew a crowd at an East Hampton Library benefit on Saturday.

At the annual Authors Night, the ubiquitous actor was signing copies of “You Can’t Spell America Without Me[2],” his parody — with Spy magazine co-founder Kurt Andersen — of a President Trump memoir.

The literary crowd included Baldwin’s wife, Hilaria, who was signing her 2016 wellness guide, “The Living Clearly Method[3],” Robert Caro, Geraldo Rivera, and Montauk lobstermen John Aldridge and Anthony Sosinski, who were signing their book, “A Speck in the Sea[4],” which came out last May.

Aldridge went overboard one night as Sosinski was asleep and spent 12 hours in the Atlantic before being rescued.

Gregory Speck told them, “You two even look like characters from a novel by Herman Melville or Joseph Conrad.”
