RICHARD FORD: Independence Day, Signed Edition

Personally signed by Richard Ford.

questions about the author's signature answered:
How do the autographs work?
I'm going to guess they don't ship all the books to the author.
Do they sign blank pages? Is it a stamp or an image printed on there?

The authors sign the books in bulk.
They sign a blank page that is then bound into
the book, but Signatures are definitely authentic.

Following a divorce and a ruined career, Frank Bascombe finds himself in a state of mere existence. Then, over one Fourth of July weekend, he is called into a sudden, bewildering engagement with life.

Winner of the Pulitzer Prize, Independence Day is Richard Ford's moving and funny odyssey through America.  "Ford is a Babe Ruth of novelists, excelling at every part of the game..." -Washington Post Book World
