JFK - Secretarial?

Hi to all.

Very new to posting so forgive me if anything is a bit 'off'. I have a John F Kennedy 'signed' book, I believe it is almost certainly a secretarial signature, but was wondering if you guys could take a look and let me know your opinions? Also what kinda money does something like this one go for (a 'signed' book)? Many thanks for spending your time on this:

Its an interesting story for sure. The thing is, it simply doesn't match any known writing or signature of Kennedy. I don't think you will find a single piece of authentic JFK material that matches it. But it also doesn't match any secretarial stuff either. Its also not on WH letterhead. Something like this would have been sent on WH letterhead 99.9% of the time. That is just how the President sends out stuff. That is what makes this so unique. Its too bad you don't have the envelope or more information.

James,

I have a real handwriting and signature of JFK. This is a postcard (a copy) from one of the most reliable dealers. I'll scan and send it to you in a couple of weeks so you could co compare. But once again I would suggest a proper expertise from the professionals, try www.autograph-market.com. It's ran by the two top experts: Markus Brandes and Garry King very well known in our community and having a solid reputation.

Unfortunately, due to the technical problems I'm unable to download JFK handwriting. However, you can go to www.autograph-market.com and find over there a few genuine JFK autographs and handwriting's. In fact, one what I have is a replica from this dealer and was given to me as gift so you can do a better home work if going straight to this web site.
