I was interested in that previous book but couldn't somehow pull the trigger. No doubt in my mind that he is the heir to George Martin, the UK's own Quincy Jones, and anybody who does not buy…"

"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…"

"I bought it, it arrived and I returned it. In reality it was a photograph taken of the real photograph, it was not signed. It was simply a photo of a photo."
"That totally unnecessary rider, "Signature is correct" is as close to a confession about the seller's self-doubt as you are likely to see.
Extraordinary.

About Me
- What kind of member are you? (Check as many as apply.)
- Collector, Dealer, Other Professional
- What would you like to tell us about yourself, your collecting, or business.
- Collector and catalogue/internet bookseller since 1990. I chose to become interested in signed books from the beginning because very few others seemed to specialize in these at that time.
Although it is a fairly commonplace business model nowadays
With the very notable exceptions of Stephen King and Cormac McCarthy I believe I have personally obtained in-person autographs from the vast majority of the most prominent authors of the past 30 years including winners of the Nobel prize for literature. Many of these encounters have been the most fascinating or memorable experiences in my working life and I feel privileged to have had them.
