Sean Connery and Diane Cilento

Hi all,

I purchased a 1st edition hard back copy of "The Manipulator" by Diane Cilento back in the late eighties. I purchased it as signed. There are two signatures, Diane Cilento and Sean Connery. As this was before the internet, I thought it was a nice curiosity and promptly forgot about it until I was sorting out the attic this week. I have no experience with autographs at all, being solely a book collector.

A cursory glance online at their autographs would lead me to believe that they are pretty similar, but I would appreciate a more experienced opinion.

Thanks in advance

James Simpson

I have developed a sixth sense for which books to check, but ultimately it comes down to putting in the legwork. At our peak, we were doing between 20 and 30 charity shops a day, every time we had a day off together. That work rate has slacked off a bit post-COVID.

Here is the Pullman. I found this on the same same day as first editions signed by Sir Edmund Hillary and Carry On actress Fenella Fielding. All three for less than £5.50.
