Come along to the amazing Summer Moot (21st July - 2nd August), a festival of bushcrafting and camping in a beautiful woodland PLEASE CLICK HERE for more information.
It's almost as legible as my signature which looks like a stretched out 'Z' with a dot in it. Wonder how much I'd get for that?
That makes me think - you could make a good buck forging celebrity signatures and selling them... after all models to practice from are all over the net, and any ex-schoolboy has learnt the basics... Hmmm
All I can say is that it looks decidedly different from the one in my signed "Essential Bushcraft" book from Woodlore... He actually writes the "Mears" on it, on just one big "M"..
HMMMMmmMMmm

There was a case just like it in Norfolk. Some guy got done for selling forged signed photosat antique and collectors fairs. He sold thousands before he got caught.arctic hobo said:
My ex boss who ran a hotel had loads of celebrity pics on the restaurant wall that he had signed himself (he never sold any but if anyone asked he said "as far as he new" they were genuine
). The only one that wasn't signed was a pic of Brian Ferry, well one of our regulars said his daughter was off to New York to do a modelling shoot with Brian and he'd give her the pic to get it signed. So out of maybe a hundred pictures that was the only genuine one but we always joked that he was probably bulls*itting and signed it himself.
Na it looks genuine enough. Just like the one in my 'Outdoor Survival Handbook'.
Just picked my copy up off the shelves at our local Ottakers book shop. There'd been a book signing a couple of weeks back, or so I was told. Pity I didn't know about it, it would have been nice just to say hello.
Never understood the desire for autographs myself. So many thousands dashed off. As they say it's the thought that counts and a signature doesn't usually have much of that behind it.
Having said all that I do love my signed copy of Carl Sagan's Cosmos. A special gift form the other half and Carl was one of my great heros... Not that Ray isn't you understand. Eeek, I think I'm digging a hole here for myself, gonna stop now!

Wouldn't attach any significance to that. I have two signed Ray books, sig slightly different on each.
I never really do the same sig twice myself, added to that I have two sigs I use depending on context.
I can relate to that. Although my signature is reasonably consistent, I do have two rather different styles of handwriting. Not a conscious thing, I seem to write in one or the other depending on my mood. Make of that what you will. I imagine Graphologists would have a field dayLurch said:
