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.

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:

Ooh that's nice...now, if I get a signed copy of Strangers on a Train I might make an offer for that!

Brolin finally arrived -- pretty much exactly what I expected in terms of the signature. The memoir's been interesting so far.
