Christopher Tolkien Signed Silmarillion????

That's.... horrible. Definitely not Christopher's signature.

Here are three authentic CT signatures for comparison from around the same time period courtesy of Beren

That Ebay one is not even close.

Nah, that eBay one looks completely fake to me.

Ruined a nice copy of the book.

If anyone was interested in the outcome, the book sold for £160.00 + £4.45 postage

I suppose this is well known, but Christopher Tolkien signed books at Mythcon 18, July 24-27, 1987, in Milwaukee, WI, including the Houghton Mifflin Silmarillion. (I saw him do it. I was there.) So one will find Tolkien books from US publishers with genuine CRT signatures.

Yep, lucky to be there but with A GAU copy.

I wasn’t there, but have (since) acquired a book he signed. (I’ve blacked out the dedication for privacy in the photo)

(Edit: really blacked out now)

That’s such a cool item—I bet a signed M&C is pretty uncommon.

Do you mind me asking how much that cost?
