Hillary Clinton Signed Book - Thrift Store Find - Authentic?

I found this on the shelves of used books at a local thrift store. Since it was "Senior Day", the price was an additional 30% off the $3.99 stickered price (age has some privileges). Based on a quick search of Hillary Clinton signed books, this seems to be authentic and consistent with her signature during this period. Appreciate opinions on authenticity of this signature. Hoping for the best for my $2.79 investment. Thanks in advance.

Thanks Josh. I have seen images of this booked signed in a similar "Hillary R Cl" style. She seemed to sign her full name in previous books. I have no experience with her signature so was just taking a chance. Appreciate your feedback as always.

Hi beardog 1,

In my opinion this signed book is genuine. Not the norm for her. But remember it was probably at a book signing etc.

Here is one very similar to yours.

Regards,

Mark

Thank you for your comments and exemplar, Mark. Based on what I could find online, I came to the same conclusion that this is authentic but likely signed as part of a large book signing event where she seems to clearly write "Hillary" but finishes with a quick "R Cl". I have seen several examples of this online specific to this book in contrast to her previous books where she more clearly signed her entire name. Regardless, it is fun to find signed books at thrifts stores and try to solve the mystery. Thank you for your help.

Thanks terrier8HOF. I always value your opinions and comments across a wide range of genres. I did some on-the-fly comparisons online while in the thrift store and felt pretty good about the $3 bet. Feeling even better now. Thanks for your help.
