Pleased with these, a hat-trick of Nobel Laureates (Literature) - Mario Vargas Llosa, Czeslaw Milosz  & Odysseus Elytis. 

Full disclosure, that last one was not a name I was familiar with. A Greek writer, won in 1969.

My latest cool ebay find for $30. A playbill signed by Robert Sean Leonard, Brian Dennehy and Philip Seymour Hoffman. I've always wanted to add a Hoffman to my collection. You never expect the young guys to leave us so soon. After he died, I gave up. Thought it would be impossible to add him without spending a fortune. 

R.I.P. to the G.O.A.T. producer. This year, all years.

Mackenzie Crook — If Nick Drake Came to My House:


Michael Caine — Don’t Look Back, You’ll Trip Over:


Bang on -- he's always had a very consistent signature. "What's It All About?" was a great read; one of a batch of signed copies I think he did when he was here in Canada many moons ago.

David Attenborough — The Living Planet [Collins—BBC, 1984], first edition, second impression hardback, found in the two-for-£1 section of a local charity shop:


Great score!

I can’t actually remember scoring a really good signed book in a thrift shop - a few run-of-the-mill things, maybe. Some excellent books, yes, but not signed ones.

I did once buy a gelatin silver print - framed - signed by the English photographer Don McCullin. It was a portrait of Gerald Scarfe. Paid £5 for it.

Thanks!

I’m a hardcore charity shopper.  Found many signed books over the years, including some very collectible ones.

A few years ago, I even found a genuine Robert Mitchum autograph for £5.  That’s how I ended up joining this forum.

Been looking for a good specimen of Patricia Highsmith (at a reasonable price) for a long time and like London buses two came along at the same time!

Author of the Ripley series and Strangers on a Train upon which the Hitchcock movie was based.

Congrats on the Highsmith, Findbooks!  I just picked up Richard Bradford's relatively recent biography of her. 

Here's a favorite image with a Highsmith connection:
