Here is an eBay listing claiming to be signed by Jack Gaughan, the artist who did the covers of the Ace paperbacks. Anyone have any idea if this could be authentic?

Thank you for your replies. I had this thread marked for notifications, but never received any.

If I could get both for $50-75 I would be very happy, Rowns (more if they are exceptional quality). Please e-mail me at marksbooksnsuch@yahoo.com if you find anything.

I am looking to by the first two History of Middle-earth books (Lost Tales 1 & 2) published by Houghton Mifflin. I am looking for First Printings. What I have been able to find online are either Book Club Copies or outrageously priced. Anyone know where I might find a set (Near Fine or better), or have a suggestion of where to look? Thanks.

Just saw this myself. Not exactly a scholar's vocabulary, eh? :o)

8 bids at this point. At least it's not even up to the value of the book!

Here's a "signed" Return of the King for $10! This is a ex-library copy! The seller says that he found the signature hidden on the inner cover. I messaged the seller that the signature was not even a good fake, but he brushed me off "thanking" me for my opinion. eBay has not taken any action. I sent them two complaints: one about forgery, the other about disclaimers. (You cannot list on eBay and then say you don't know if the item is authentic or not.) I hope people don't fall for this.
