Authenticity is Everything

The site is slow right now. We'll be back to full speed ASAP. Our apologies.

Paul McCartney and Madonna signed books - opinions please...

Hi to all.

Long long ago before I knew of this site (or even of authenticators and the like) I purchased a couple of signed books (books were kinda my thing). One signed by the great Sir Paul and the other by the legend Madonna. Now, not knowing my stuff and being green there is a very good chance I purchased 2 complete turkeys! So, I've pulled up the courage to take a couple of images and post them here to see if I was/am as useless as I think I may have been or if I got lucky and got a couple of gooduns.
Please can you good people give me your opinions.

Thanks to all.

Here's an example of an authentic Madonna signed "Lotsa de Casha" book that I have. It's from her book signing at Border's in New York in 2005. Of course, Madonna has had several different autograph styles.

You got it right James. I have one from that signing.

The one on this discussion is a fake and not a very good one at that.

Thank you all for taking the time to reply. It just shows, not that more proof is needed, that sites like this one and decent authenticators are desperately needed for this hobby.

Everyone is human and mistakes are made, but only by maintaining and increasing the good-guys list can we hope to hinder the fakers and those that enable them.

Thanks again (I'm off to build a fire with the assistance of these books!).
