Real mid-64 Early 65 Beatles Autographs?

Greetings - have really enjoyed wandering through the forum discussions and reading the pro/cons of exemplars - has been extremely educational. Anyway - I'm looking at a signed book - The True Story of the Beatles - published mid 1964 - the signatures look to my relatively untrained eye to be temporally appropriate - but I thought I'd avail myself of the tremendous experience / expertise of this group - are they authentic?

thanks in advance for your time

Steve

They look fake to me at a glance but better than most fakes. I must admit though that the George has me in two minds, if it had been with other authentic signatures I'd possibly be happy with it.

the George throws me too. I am wondering if he may have signed it, and someone forged the others to make it a complete set?

I rate that as a possibility.

I agree totally it seems as though the George is authentic, and the other 3 were forged to make it complete

I think they're all traced, with Paul's signature reflected on the page at an angle by mistake, which caused the right slant. Interesting. I hope Roger will share his thoughts.

To me the bottom three look like outright forgeries rather than process distorted authentic template signatures.

The George looks authentic to me, while the other three appear to have been printed onto the page.

i think all  are good fakes. just my opinion.

Steve, I agree with you in that these look traced. These are not original or authentic signatures from the Fab Four.

this is a book my brother has and he brought it over for me to look at and post stuff for you - the John and Ringo signatures are felt tip pen on absorbant paper and you can see ink on the other side of the page where pen placement occurs multiple times - where letters join - the Paul signature is ballpoint pen and you can see indentations on the page

Nearly all of the Beatles sets signed in different pens are fake. My opinion of course. Is there a provenance stating when and where they were signed etc?

no information re: provenance
