Title: 1917 book A Treasury of War Poetry by George Herbert Clarke signed
Post by: icedgold10 on January 06, 2014, 07:44:22 pm: 1917 book A Treasury of War Poetry by George Herbert Clarke signed. An unsigned one on Ebay went for $40. How much value might it add being signed by Mr. Clarke?

They have many at abebooks. Not signed though. I don't know the value of the signature. Is it a first edition?

Post by: greenacres on January 06, 2014, 10:33:22 pm: There are eight pages of the book. There several editions. The value varies. I did see a couple for $50. Or a little more.

Is there another date verso of the title page ? I think there should be 280 paginated pages in the first edition. Seen one online for $10.

Post by: icedgold10 on January 07, 2014, 08:30:30 pm: All these are unsigned and mine is inscribed and signed so thinking it is worth a bit more.

Post by: greenacres on January 07, 2014, 09:02:50 pm: I agree. As I said I don't know what the signature is worth. That site does have signed books. You could check.
