Serious question, why would you ever pay £40 for that?

Well I assume the book is cheaper without the stamp? Why pay extra to have it stamped with a logo?

I am a bit confused the book is only being stamped by the author and not signed by the author?

I think there's about a 1% chance it's stamped by the author and a 99% chance it's stamped by an intern. Either way I don't see the point. I don't mean to insult people that purchased it, but this is a bit crazy and really has nothing to do with autographs.

Wouldn't it take almost as much effort to carefully stamp as book as it would to scratch out a signature? How could anyone prove it was stamped by him even if you have a photograph of him doing it? It is kind of like when i was in college "Minnesota Fats" the great pool hustler was still alive he wouldn't sign autographs, but would bring out a stamp pad and stamp his signature. At least you saw him do it.

Personally I only collect hand signed original autographs, I don't know why people would pay money for preprinted or stamped signatures, just print them yourself at that point. In any case it doesn't add additional value, so if you want the book, just buy the book without the stamp and save the money.

Personally I would consider it a novelty not an autograph. That does not mean it has no value, and were I big fan of either Jerry or Jimmy I might want it. I personally would not consider it an autograph unless someone takes an instrument in hand, foot or mouth and applies it to the surface of an object him or herself.
