Just a quick pop-in for now.

@10bbg10 ~ Helen Thanks for posting that article by your nephew. I found it very interesting.

@madferu ~ Inspire With Nina I didn't find you copy either; however, a signature under a photo usually screams fascimile to me. Is that photo the frontspiece - the page opposite the title page? That is usually where you will find photos or portraits of the author and their fascimile signature.

You can also look to see if there are any indentations made by a pen...or take a loupe at look very closely at it. I suspect that it is a fasimile also because that page would look 'odd' with just a blank margin and no 'caption' of some sort such as name.

One time we sold a signed by the artist Heritage Press book because we 'assumed' that the frontispiece art work with signature was a fasimile since it was a Heritage Press and not a Limited Edition Club. Turns out that our lucky buyer informs us that Heritage Press published several books that are signed. It was to get people interested in them, but I digress . . .

Friends are the chocolate chips in the cookie of life.
