I have concerns about the questioned signature.

Below is a inscribed book I obtained directly through the mail from Mr. Schulz. I am confident mine is authentic.

This is not my area of expertise, but there are some obvious formation differences, and the questioned example seems much smaller, slower and more carefully done. Slant and spacing between letters is not the same. I can't state with certainty the book in question is bad, but I have some doubt.

Here is the other Charles Schulz book you posted in your photo gallery, Keith. Same issues as the book you posted here.

On the full size view, you can see significant slowdown and "drawing" on the "rles M" Has the same slowly done jagged M as the other questioned book.

In my opinion, both "The Literary Ace Strikes Again" and "Charlie Brown!" came from the same hand, and it was not the hand of Charles M. Schulz.
