The signature in the 1998 deluxe edition is very scruffy - he must have been having a bad day!

It looks ok to me - see this signature from 1992 which is definitely genuine:
![Open in new window](javascript:CaricaFoto("http://www.tolkienbooks.net/assets/images/CRT-Signature.jpg");) The signed cards were given out to attendees of a banquet at the 1992 Centenary conference. CT was at the banquet (sadly too many people there for everybody to meet him) and a couple of days before he read 'The New Shadow' (the unfinished sequel to LotR) at the Sheldonian Theatre - Awesome!

It says nothing that will be new to you, and is absolute chock full of errors and inaccuracies. It covers books, Tolkien Society magazines, Bakshi film ephemera, figures, gaming and recordings, but none in enough detail to be of any use.
It claims that there is a book by Tolkien called Studies in Old English that sells for a few hundred pounds - have you ever heard of it...???!!! It also mentions a book called Collectable Treasure from the Works of J.R.R. Tolkien by JamesTomlinson. Has anybody heard of this? There is nothing online that I can find.

I think it might be a good idea, but I doubt I would use it if I had to pay for the privilege. Adverts would be better - as long as they are not intrusive pop-ups.
