I just collected a paperback of The Great Hunt (Wheel of Time #2) from the library. On the title page is Robert Jordan's signature. Wow, I thought, this must be one of those things where they send the author a few hundred to sign. Then I thought, Hang on, this copy is new, and Jordan died years ago.
On further examination, his signature was printed, not penned.
What fresh hell is this? What's the point? Clearly they're not really trying to pass it off as a proper signed copy, because the book is clearly new and Jordan is clearly dead. But then, what? Are they going to start printing Elon Musk's signature on every Tesla?
I'm curious as to whether anyone else has seen any further examples of this.
