yes but if I was paying all that money and expecting a signed book I might not be that amused but no doubt about it, - its a classy sig

Here’s a better picture of the sig from mine for anyone interested. Use caution when removing the 45/cover from the folder, it was wedged in there pretty good.

I agree. I was a bit disappointed to get a signed 45 sleeve and not the book signed. When you are advertising a signed book I would expect the tome to be signed. I think people paid so much expecting to have a signed book spanning her career which would be really special.

I have a light blue sleeve and it is signed in black sharpie. I like your silver sharpie better but I’m not complaining. Happy to have gotten a copy.

Yeah, I’m still a little disappointed and surprised it was handled this way. This article from 7/20 indicated that only the sleeve would be signed, but this is only thing I’ve found that said that.

Descriptions on Chronicle and Premier did not mention, and Premier’s seems particularly misleading. I’m glad to have an officially sourced sig that I can display but not what I was expecting.

Right, that occurred to me too so trying to keep in perspective…$75 markup for signed edition seems more than fair but not sure how they reached $250 price point for the unsigned special edition to begin with (I guess because it’s limited to 2500)…don’t get me wrong, happy to have it and would have bought anyway but clarity would have been nice when spending that kind of money! Nice that it’s limited to only 150 copies too.

That’s how I’m looking at it. I’m a huge Dolly fan. If she were selling hand signed 45s for $75 I’d be all over that. So I’m just accepting that. 

I do think though that it’s very shady to sell a “signed edition” on book websites and not sell a signed book. I mean part of the appeal is having a book that documents her entire career signed by the woman herself. Shady indeed. 

But the books are daaammmn heavy. I can’t imagine lugging them for her to sign.  She prob got a stack of 150 45 sleeves. 

In my mind I was thinking she stopped by the publishers office and signed the tomes. Clearly not.

They hardly ever do that anymore. When it comes from the publisher it's most often an extra page that's signed and inserted when the books are being bound.

so, has she signed any of the books?  And maybe I am getting confused but what is the difference between teh Deluxe and autographed edition?
