Soon I'll need to reserve an autopen shelve. This will stand proudly next to Songteller and Run Rose Run.

Gilmour send preprints, Dylan send Autopens. Dolly send Autopens. Even the same previously used template. Lord knows who else. It's a list of some length I believe.
I remember a book by Gilmour from ? (Waterstones?) that had his Autopen slid all over the pages to appear hand signed. Very subtle, but worked.

I wonder if they are going to refund everyone, or only the ones complaining. In the latter case they probably still made a fortune of these books, and anyone offering it for sale in the future, thinking he had a solid investment in his hands, might be in for a nasty surprise.

What is $600,000 compared to 993 million? They could not care less. Of course this was all shut down before it became a news item of interest to perhaps 0.04% of people.

Never should have happened to begin with. Best we can do is keep the evidence up in perpetuity to warn people (and publishers) against this kind of behavior. The publisher knew and doubled down on it, and would have got away with it had it not been for the actions of a select few collectors.
What a black mark on Dylan's legacy. Shameful.

993 million is only their revenue. I work for a company that makes more than that in profit. And believe me, 600k is still an amount of money that they care not to loose.

Then why do this dead end project? To MAKE MONEY, as are most people involved with this idiocy. And I am certain they have a well crafted legal out. Terminology and $$$$$$ lawyers.

Thank you to everyone on here who helped this saga get the outcome it deserved. Between myself and my two friends, we had three copies ordered, and it legitimately made me sick to my stomach at the risk of losing $1,800 over three fraudulent signed books

Simon and Schuster have removed their tweets about the signed book and the sales page on their site.

So moving on, Barnes & Noble should be announcing their Black Friday signed editions in the next 48 hours. For those who stock up there- they have buy $100 in gift cards you can get $10 free. Might save someone a few bones.
