Thanks. Do you guys know if 2 different versions or dustcovers on these books both contained the signed book plates? Do u know which was the first and the more common one? This is the cover on this one.

I've seen both covers and do not have an answer for you. Although, I would think, knowing the edition could help. Is the one you are looking at a first edition, first printing?

Yes Joe - its a 1st edition.  Thanks to all for your help.

Steve, I’ve seen copies with both covers signed on authentic bookplates. I think Coles (see other linked bookplate discussion) used to sell predominately the other cover signed.

Looks like a typical bookplate signature- all good I think.

just For comparison- at the bottom of sir Sean’s intro to the book there appears this printed signature which is obviously authentic and gives us a good idea of what his signature looks like when seated in 2008. Certainly all the bookplates seem to have the right characteristics and the charity signed ones look god too- id just love to know more about the Occassion!

I have found 2 other bookplates at a much cheaper price and would like opinions on these also.  Does anyone know if there were 2 different types of bookplates?  The first one appears to be the same as the one I previously posted (red borders), but the second one appears different.  Very confusing.

Both these bookplates are genuine. I really have not seen any bookplates that were fakes. Although, I have seen some signed title pages which one would need to be evaluated more carefully.

If you don't purchase both of these let me know via pm. I may be interested myself.

Ok I will let you know if I do.  Both sellers are in the UK.  Any thoughts on why 2 different styled bookplates were used?  Both sellers claim they are on 1st editions.
