I don’t like them at all - the 3rd one looks completely different.

These  do not look like her in person street graph that’s a fact.

Sadly, these are clearly all autopen as the dots give it away.  Glad I stayed clear of these

Whats funny is, IF theses are in fact autopens, is WHSmith making sure orders for multiple have different autopenned versions? Do they already know and are trying to hide it?

Interesting point. So, now I guess we just wait patiently to see:

a) are the Waterstones copies any different?

b) can we find multiple examples of the same autopen template?

I posted a side by side of KD's autopen if you scroll up I see very slight variations between them but it could be because of a thicker pen used. I swear it could be the same template though

This makes no sense - WH Smiths don’t sit there in some conspiracy to rip us off. Loads of people will end up with the same example as has happened to millions of people before when company’s send our forgeries  but at the moment only one person has received their books. 

Anybody who knows anything about Dolly’s signature knows these are not legit.

@Lisbon to me these look close to Songteller, are you saying those are not legit either? Or do you see noticeable differences that I don't see?

I have not looked at songteller signatures at all but this example makes me want to research

I can't imagine that; they would have the extra work and the customer complaints and returns when some eventually do find out. More likely the publisher distributes them differently in the shipping boxes. When the store packs an order of 3, they will likely grab 3 alongside eachother from the same box.

Agreed. Let's imagine there's 15 different autopens (if it is) then the odds of any 3 matching are low.

Thanks for adding the pictures!

I'm not convinced these are autopen until we see more examples. The dots alone are not enough, these could just be pressure points from the way she signs.
Looking at this Songteller example I got from eBay, you can also see dots at the ends of some lines.
