Signed, Sealed, and Distinctive...

Will he ever find his grail signers? Will he ever afford them if he finds them? Tune in next time, true believers.... I have a handful of Signature Series books. Most of them were purchased online, nearly all of those on eBay. But, one thing that I'm not likely to find online is a Doctor Who book signed by a member of the cast, or writing/production team.
