Autographed retail books

[TJCams]

Just want to find out from those who know, or might know..... Are autographed HC retail books worth anything more than the same thing with no autograph?

The reason I ask..... I grabbed a book at lunch today for my Dad for his b-day coming up, and saw in the bargain section, some autographed China Mieville hard covers. All new condition.

Would it be worth to run back there and grab a couple of them (there was more than one)? I was thinking one to keep and one to potentially re-sell????

Typically worth more, how much more depends on the book, the author, and the rarity. Best bet would be to do a little eBay / Abe books research.

In general a signed book will be more, I would pick up a copy or two if I were you.

Cool. I will check it out, and probably grab them. I was surprised to see them. Just happened to be a couple over from the book I was looking for.

Like someone else said I would do some quick searches however I think anything signed by China (if legit) would be a good item to have.
