Some more examples for you - I had her sign a number of high-priority items I'd brought, including a copy of her late husband's book The Bedside Book of Beasts and a Giller Prize anthology I'm hoping to get signed by all the finalists from the first 15 years of its existence.

You can see some interesting quirks throughout the signatures, which is why I tend to stress to friends of mine that there's a lot of variation in the way she signs. Depending on how charitable she feels, she'll either go super-small (like she did last year) or do giant signatures for her newer work. My signed Atwood count stands at 70 - I've essentially hit my 20-book goal for the year.

Very nice.  And 70 is a super-impressive count, with more to come, I’m sure.

I like that you’ve set yourself a goal with the Geller Prize anthology.  Keeps things interesting and challenging for you as a collector.

Ha, thanks Steve. Now to drive my wife crazy while we binge watching Earnest movies with our daughter.  This guy was a huge part of my childhood so it will bring back some good memories

A really nice and rare vintage full signature, obtained April 7th 1981 at the Congress Center in Hamburg, Germany during Springsteen’s The River tour.

I decided to frame it with my favorite live photo and managed to ”hide” the dedication pretty nicely, at least in my opinion.
