My Copy of The Alphabet From A to Y With Bonux Letter Z! by Steve Martin and Roz Chast

Well, it's my copy now. This copy of Steve Martin and Roz Chast's The Alphabet From A to Y With Bonus Letter Z! (2007) signed by both authors showed up on eBay three months back priced at $49, which is about half the usual ask. The seller's first photo emphasizes Martin's signature, which would be the hardest to obtain individually.

I have not seen any of these twice-signed copies personalized.

The closeup photo of Martin's signature is out of focus and adds nothing: 

Chast signs with a finer pen. She gets the soft focus treatment as well.

Maybe the seller understands instinctively that you can't charge market prices without taking sharp photos.

From here on in only the pages with couplets are in focus:

And it just gets worse:

And worse:

I mean, I couldn't blur photos this consistently if I wanted to:

Great Scott! Was the seller blindfolded?
