Why lie? We can send them countless examples of the same signature in multiple books!

Sadly no. Some have the "love" signed in a slightly different place but its the same template.

I've counted 5 different templates far

Because they don’t care and nobody is going to realistically fight them on it. It’s not like we have millions to take these companies to court and that’s why they get away with it time and time again. 

it’s simple we return them and then it’s swept under the carpet.

a lot of her fans won’t even care as they believe it to be real. We are in the minority here.

NOOOO... please don't have that mentality.. we ALWAYS need to call these out!. Publishers, retailers and celebrities all need to know this practice is unacceptable otherwise it will happen again with a different book 6 months down the road

Sinead. Copperfield. Gretzky. Even Patterson himself. There are numerous instances of creators who have been publicly called out (and even had their reputations impacted) because they dabbled in knowingly pumping out autopen books to gullible fans. It won't be swept under the rug.

Interestingly that looks like a shot taken for the purposes of proving they're different - look at the opposite pages, they're not the opposite page of the book - those were taken before they were bound into the books.

So I am a winner it seems - I got two books the same . One is a different angle but look at them side by side.

I believe in a few more days, they will change their response. There are a lot of people still waiting on delivery. Im thinking this will get escalated to another level soon
