I found the book this morning and took two pictures.
This picture shows the poor quality of the cover, which goes someway to explaining the lower than normal price. The main book is in perfect shape.
The signature.
I thought I purchased the book on ebay. Having look at my ebay purchase history, I could not find it?
I searched my Amazon purchase history, and bingo!
The book was purchased on Amazon in 2017 for the price of £19.99 ($25.32)
I just looked on ebay, and prices range from £34.99 ($44.32) to £65.97 ($83.55) admittedly with covers in better shape. None mentioned being signed. One Amazon seller has one listed for £124.88 ($158.17)
Back when I purchased my copy, I must have been focused on price over description, as looking at the original order via Amazon, it does mention the book featuring a signature.
