Elton John Signed Bookplates Real or Fake?

Hi all,

I recently came across 2 independent bookstores in the UK selling copies of Elton John’s book ‘ME’ containing hand signed bookplates.

I was unsure if these was genuine at first as I haven’t come across this variation of Elton John signature before so I decided to speak with the Elton John book publishers Pan Macmillan. 

Upon emailing Pan Macmillan they confirmed that the bookplates were in fact genuine hand signed bookplates which were issued to independent bookstore in very limited numbers and affixed to the books. 

Has anyone come across this variation of Elton John’s autograph before or can confirm its authenticity? Please see attached photo’s.

Yes I believe they had 1 or 2 copies sent direct from the publisher Pan Macmillan. The first image was the copy I believe they auctioned.
