....that is on a library book.
ok, weird story but completely true. i was reminded of it by another thread about long-overdue library books.
in the mid 70s my mum was walking down the kennington road in the SE London. Pulled up at the kerb was a Rolls Royce and Charlie Chaplin and his wife standing beside it. He was showing her the house that he lived in as a kid.
In her bag she happened to have his autobiography that she was reading at the time! of course she whipped it out and he signed it for her. she remembers his being being small and freckly 
.
Problem is, this was a library book. We know it must be worth something, surely. I'm very tempted to have it valued and if it's worth something have it auctioned.
we would most definitely give the library some of the proceeds (after all, the overdue fine must be huuge).
but would this BU? By rights it's the property of the library. But it was the action of my mother (getting the autograph) that's achieved its value.
Thoughts?
