Thanks for posting. 10/10/2024 and 304 pages as well as different ISBN, different publisher.. would this rule out Tucci?

No problem….also noticed it comes up on Bookshop when searching the title like this:

But the link goes to an “Untitled 341695” FWIW:

As stated above, different publisher/ working title/ ISBN is normal for UK vs US books, but the fact it's Penguin vs a S&S company does make it less likely that it's the same.

Edit: it seems the previous Tucci book was published by Fig Tree in UK, which is part of Penguin. So maybe he does have a contract with Penguin in UK and Gallery in US.

Great find!

This seems to be the UK edition so a different ISBN, number of pages and even publisher by itself is not a sign that it's a different book, but Gallery is part of Simon & Schuster which has a UK branch. It's therefore much more likely the UK publisher for the untitled book will be Simon & Schuster.

Glad to help and right, I figured the UK vs US may have accounted for some the differences based on your prior post.

Also FWIW, Simon & Schuster has a page of Gallery books “to be confirmed” and “Untitled MR” appears to be Matt Rife (this isn’t a signed edition):

Of course there's more than just big names being released in October. It's just that they keep the big names for that period of the year and spread the topics over the year, so you don't have too many memoirs at the same time. Meaning a lesser name would more often be released in another month. But it depends on the topic as well and how much they are fishing in the same pond (audience). Cooking is popular for the holiday season so Tucci would fit in well between the high profile titles.

I found Smith a similar way as in the Britney screenshot, by an unintended "leak" on a website which they fixed soon after (mentioning other work of Will Smith), which has me hopeful.

Has Britney ever signed anything that sold online? I don’t want to sound negative, but she’s never sold any autographs online. I don’t see it happening now either.

Things can always change. I never thought I'd score Eric Clapton at retail but it happened with the Yardbirds vinyl a while back. Same for Paul Simon, James Hetfield, Bono, Dave Gahan.. Even Green Day recently. They were a bucket list item of mine for years and I played into the Max Creeps signed vinyl in hopes Billie Joe Armstrong was involved.. it happens a lot.

I got one of her signed posters on her website years ago, but the signature was terrible. No idea if she actually signed it or not, but there's no possible way anyone could prove, or attempt to figure out who signed it... it could have been her maid, security guard, or that guy she married for 15 minutes lol. It literally looked like someone scribbled random circles quickly. No identifiable characters whatsoever. I ended up giving it to a friend who's a fan of her and doesn't care about autographs. 

Considering she doesn't even actually sing at her concerts back when she had the Vegas residency, who knows who would be signing her books... but once again still worth the gamble lol. I lost more on the signed poster than these books cost, so why not... or maybe I'm just that dumb.
