Ok, that’s everything. I’ll leave it up to everyone to decide what they think, and where to go from here. Again, please take a moment to become familiar with the signatures at play and their features HERE  …it’s long but mostly pictures :-)

Yeah, I have serious concerns. I took my own copy off the shelf to examine closely as part of this process, and it will not be going back up.

I believe that says everything Matt. Your assessment is both fair and reasonable. Thank you again for your time.

Thank you Chris, that means a lot. I did try to be fair and objective. I know not everyone may share the concerns, as I said in my previous posts.

I encourage everyone to look closely at the available evidence for themselves. Maybe pull out your own copy out as well.

I have uploaded individual photos of all the book signatures that I used in my analysis. Again, the photos and analysis are *HERE*

Overlay videos are available in my prior posts on this thread.

Given the debate with Michael Douglas (I bought one from Waterstones and given its context there is a chance it could be secretarial) it won’t stop me from ever buying signed or “signed” books.

Anyway on the topic of signed books, I bought this book signed by Priscilla and just wanted to give my story basically. 

I ordered the paperback edition of this memoir from London and from what I can tell it’s an ink signature that has been put into the book on a bookplate.

im happy with it and if it does turn out to be a secretarial or an autopen so be it - wont stop me collecting nor sending my books back because to be honest the prices are negligible and the return would just be too much hassle - if we were talking £3k that’s a bit different but we’re not and it makes a fascinating addition to an ever growing collection of signed books I’ve collected over time.

Also I’ve really enjoyed the collection that has been compiled and compared for evidence of secretarial and autopen as it helps other members but for me personally, it’s not a major deal but that doesn’t mean books, where there is controversy, do not need investigation.

Thanks for sharing your experience. I’m glad you found this page and enjoyed looking through the comparisons.

I agree that these signed editions typically aren’t sold at much of a premium, but I think most people buy them specifically for the signature, with the understanding that it’s genuine. Unfortunately, that’s not always the case. I guess it’s ultimately up to each person what they’re comfortable with.

Totally get that and I admit it’s not nice to be sold a dud should it be the case and all I was saying (no dig intended :) ) was that I just can’t be bothered to send mine back. It’s just not worth said aggravation to be honest.

That said, there needs to be more scrutiny on signed books because it damages not just arguably the reputation of the celebrity but the seller and publishing house etc.

Keep up the good work of book analysis as it helps those who may not be as gifted at such observations to see where issues may be. 

As I say for me personally, I can’t be bothered with the aggro of sending my book back or books - I go on faith and tbh and I’ve been a collector and a member of autographed memorabilia since I was a teenager, but I think I have been stung multiple times potentially but going through it all is just a headache and what is as bad is perhaps people or organisations knowingly selling fakes and thus equally is not brought to trial but even the legitimate ones make mistakes as was the case with me last year and I got a full refund.
