President Bush signed a bunch of bookplates for his recently released book, Decision Points. There was information on the site for the book on how to get one. I sent a request and a return envelope on Oct. 28, 2010 and my bookplate came today, Nov. 20, 2010. A lot of the time autographs from presidents are autopens (machines that sign a reproduction of their real autograph), but these bookplates seem legit. They are all different (autopens are a common pattern, although they could have more than one machine or pattern). There was also a picture on the internet, totally unrelated to these, that showed a stack of the bookplates and several Sharpies sitting on the desk next to him, waiting to be signed.
I am thrilled to add a president to my collection.
