I was cleaning off some books (don't ask why, it involves a cat, say no more) that I had wanted to sell and had taken off the wrap around covers. They were Manga from Japan.
Imagine my surprise when I went to figure out which cover went to which book when I saw this was hidden underneath one of them:
[[image:naoko_takeuchi_signature.jpg:Autograph:center:0]]
This is an actual Naoko Takeuchi autograph! But could it be legit? I did an image search on that and came up with this:
[[image:comparison.jpg:Compare:center:0]]
Look at the shape of the letters! If that isn't the same signature I don't know what is. Even the little heart at the end is the same!
Amazing. A book I couldn't sell for .50¢ was hiding a treasure like that, and is going back in my collection, slightly messed up as it is.
Thanks squeaker, both sarcastically and unsarcastically.
How did this book ever come to be in my possession? I've never met her, that's for sure. Did Chau, long, long ago send it to me? She must have, I didn't have any other source for that kind of thing when the superstore was still running.
Wild.
Up to 15,691 in Lonely Divide, and getting psyched for seeing The Aged One later. Finished chapter 1, I know how chapter 2 starts but not exactly how it ends. Heck, I don't know inexactly how it ends, I just had a cool idea I wanted to work in. It'll work out.
Got my tiny memory card for the cell phone camera, wow… it takes lousy pictures! *sigh*
Cataloged over 200 book/movies thus far and I'm not half done.
Still coldish out, won't break 60 the next week I guess. Game tomorrow, more Pyre, so that's good.
