signed editions
Personally autographed books
Signed editions are copies of a book that bear the author's signature, typically on the title page.
Publishers sometimes issue these as limited runs, marketed to collectors: The signed edition sold out within hours.
A signature may add considerable value, especially for first editions or deceased authors.
Some signed editions include additional material like numbered certificates or slipcases.
