That Elton John is amazing. Stupid question, did you get it yourself it were you so lucky that you found one that already were dedicated to a ”John”?

Have been adding a lot to my collection recently. Here are just two pieces. I attended the Monsters of Rock cruise with my wife and best friend in February. They had an art gallery on the ship with work by Rick Allen of Def Leppard and Brian Wheat of Tesla. I purchased early and in my view, acquired the best Rick Allen piece on display. I also received a signed drum from Rick. Here are images of Rick and I with the painting I purchased as well as the drumhead he signed for me.

Finally found a signed Aldrin to join my Lovell book -- now all I have to do is search for a signed Armstrong (shoutout to Steve for the recent blog post -- some fascinating info on collecting his sig):

Nice bold, dark signature.
I have a couple Aldrin books from a book signing that he cancelled at the last minute, but he shipped books to the bookstore for those who tried to attend.
I also have the Easton Press signed edition of "Lost Moon" by Lovell.
Years ago I wrote to Michael Collins to ask if he'd sign his book "Carrying The Fire". He had long since stopped signing TTM but he agreed to sign the book, so I sent it to him.
I have a copy of the book the Apollo 11 crew wrote when they returned, but I never did anything with it when there might have been a chance to get some signatures in it.

Russell Myrie — Don’t Rhyme for the Sake of Riddlin’: The Authorised Story of Public Enemy [Canongate, 2008], first edition, first impression hardback, signed and dedicated by Chuck D of Public Enemy to the band’s longtime U.K. publicist, Sarah J Edwards:
The dedication reads, “Sarah, You are part responsible for all of this thing here. Sally gets her props too, but we hope to continue more chapters in the never-ending tale of PE-Blag. Love, Chuck.”
Sarah and her twin sister, Sally, publish a music/style/culture magazine called Blag. In the 1990s, they worked both together and separately within the music industry, as well as doing some modelling work.
Both sisters appear on the cover of Placebo’s 1998 album Without You I’m Nothing. Sarah also appears on the cover of Ash’s 1995 single “Girl from Mars”.
Sadly, the pair were involved in a serious road accident, whilst out on their bicycles in central London, in December 2021. They both sustained significant injuries to their faces and hands, which doctors predict will take 12 months to recover from.

Love association copies like this, particularly when it's addressed to the book designer or someone from the acknowledgements section.

Thanks, Rabbits. I know you’re aware of just how rare and desirable association copies are.
This one has a lovely, warm, personal inscription from Chuck D. I’m thrilled to add it to my collection.
