Vince Flynn Autographs
Dear Virginia:
I recently received
Last Man by Vince
Flynn
. This is not an accusation against you, but the
signature in it is not even close to any other autograph by
him, including other signed books by him that I have in my collection. With no certificate of authenticity, it will not hold its
value as an investment especially with the signature that is
so different than any other of his. It may have been done by
a manager or someone else completely out of your control.
Anyway, I will never be happy with it. I will return it in exactly
the same state as I received it. How do I do that?
Thanks, Rod

Hi Rod:
This issue was raised when
Last Man first came out. The books came directly from Simon
& Schuster and we raised the question about the signature. We
were told at that time that the signatures were indeed authentic,
but due to fatigue and the size of the signing, the author simplified
his signature. We would be happy to send a Statement
of Authenticity. Vince Flynn's publicist, David Brown
confirmed this to us upon release of the book. "The
different V was a function of the fatigue created by signing
thousands of books in one sitting."
