Wanting to sell an autograph book, should I sell it complete or piece it out one autograph at a time?

I recently was given an autograph book by an older family member,  it is full of autographs from the late thirties/early forties.  Bob Hope, Abbott and Costello, Marlene Dietrich, Humphrey Bogart etc ( the list goes on and on) are just a few of the 100+ names in the book.  My question as a possible future seller,  should I try to find a buyer for the complete book, or should I piece it out one at a time?  How can I possibly get the whole book authenticated?  Or should I even try?  Needless to say I have a lot of questions and I am very new to the subject.  Thanks for your time.

I am also concerned about the Judy Garland autograph.  The signature appears to be slowly written and the slant appears to be off.  I am concerned about the "G" as well.  Do you happen to know when it was signed?

Do you happen to know if the original owner of the autograph book had the Walt Disney autograph signed in person or if they handed the autograph book over to someone who then had it signed for them?  I am a little concerned that it may be a secretarial signature.

I was wondering that too, but I don't know enough about Walt seceretarials to be sure. 

The fake Garland doesn't match any seceretarials on the cead site, but it does share some similariries, and they are all different to begin with.

In the image, it looks like there are holes on the edge of the album pages. Maybe it was more of a ringed binder and these are TTM signatures?

C. Davis, I have been following this discussion since you posted it and I know that as a seller you have been advised to dismantle this autograph book but as a student of history and an amateur film buff I am begging you not to.
