Great to see that you were able to snag a copy as well. I would hope you would be one of the few who wind up with an authentic copy.

Good luck everyone who purchased and sorry for all those who missed out. If you passed, you have a very good reason to. I'm not expecting this to be real, its a gamble.

Thanks, Jason. I have a good feeling this time around, but we shall see.

Coles are good people, so I don’t feel it’s much of a risk either way.

They're good people (I actually like them), but they sold the McCartney at a very inflated price. Something doesn't check out here.

I bought a legit, signed Dylan book last year for £500. The price here is the same, so there is a precedent (albeit via a different publisher).

I believe the McCartney was expensive, but I couldn’t tell you the reasoning behind that, other than I understand he issued some statement saying he wouldn’t be signing any more autographs in the future. I have no interest whatsoever in Paul McCartney or The Beatles. I wouldn’t have bought his signed edition for £15, never mind £1,500.

Thank you to the OP. What bothers me is that it’s cheaper than the autopen signed book from Indigo. I would have expected the price to be higher if they’re actually hand signed this time around.

£500 is about CA$740, so not much difference.

The others were priced as being hand signed as well.

Did anybody phone Coles? They only closed 30 minutes ago

I called them at 16:17 this afternoon, to place my order over the telephone.

I think after a bit more research they will be Signed and not autopenned, which will be great for the people that ordered, just a shame if they are legit, that Indigo put a lot of us off buying them.

Steve, imagine you could add Dylans Sig on top of 3 x PJ Harvey's in little over a week!

Just the two PJs, mate! A pair of PJs, if you will.

Strangely (or not), I was within minutes of placing a bid on a very pricey piece of vintage Dylan memorabilia when news of this book came through. I decided to sack off the auction in favour of this. Fingers crossed I made the right decision.
