    I collect books on arms and armour, and have a fair few in my library. However, a few years back I decided to collect them properly and in their own right, rather as an adjunct to my weapons collecting. To that end I managed to acquire several rare and old volumes, and have since then tried to collect books that are either signed by the author, or have come from the libraries of famous collectors.
    I wondered what signed editions, on any subject, anybody has in their possession.....

    I’ll often look in my local Charity shops at the hardback books front pages. Gleaned a few signed copies that way, politicians, etc.
    Got several Stephen Fry signed books as he’s a local.

    In my general library I have a copy of a book signed to me by Spike Milligan. He lived locally when I was in Barnet, North London.
