I've never seen a "balloon head" "L" like that before as well as some other features here as well. My initial impression is "no", but I will now research signed checks to look for the idiosyncrasies I'm seeing here.

So it could be his signature?

This looks vastly different. The entire formation and shape, also, in proportion and relation to the whole. The signature that started the thread is a characteristically long, low, lean, and drawn out one. I'd have to say that all of the ones I've seen that were obtained in person where more like this one here. Short, thick, and to the point. Far more compact and condensed, utilizing an economy of length, than the one at the top.

The book w/o dust jacket was a book store find maybe 3-4 years ago in a nostalgia section of the store.  And the autograph is in the lower left quadrant at the angle shown on the first end page.
