Need help on a signed T. S. ELIOT Book SELECTED ESSAYS

Hello, I need help on this signed T.S. Elliot book I have come across. My grandfather had it for many years and told me it was a real signature.  Does anyone know how much this book would be worth if it is authentic? I checked how much would it be to get it authenticated and was told it would be 100$ but I know only a little about it but not too much. I posted a picture of the book and signature below. Any help is very much appreciated. Thank you

I think this is an authentic signature and have attached some other genuine examples for comparison.

His signature can be found easily but would estimate (in good condition) signed books would be in the region of £600-£900. That is a conservative estimate, depending on condition and if the book was just signed or one of the more collectible signed and numbered first editions.

I noticed your dust jacket was a little fatty, is the book ok or slightly damaged also?

Sincerely, Richard.

Thank you so much, the book is in fair condition. The inside of the book is perfect the outside has some peeling on the sides otherwise it's in good condition.

 the sig looks like one of his I have.  However, his sig inside a copy of the waste land etc would be worth a lot more imo
