Inscribed
A personalized sentiment or message in a book, usually from the author to another specific person. We distinguish this from a simple, unpersonalized signature, which we would refer to as "signed," rather than inscribed. We also distinguish an inscribed book from one that is signed by the author with a sentiment but is not clearly addressed to a specific individual (such as "Best wishes, J.D. Salinger" - who would want that?). Some authors will plow through a stack of their books at a bookstore, writing in each one a generic sentiment for the bookstore to sell afterwards. In very recent years some unscrupulous individuals have claimed that signed books are preferable to inscribed books because usually the inscribed book is inscribed "to some stranger." What they aren't telling you is that it is easier to forge a signature than it is to forge an entire inscription. If you would prefer a book allegedly signed by Thomas Pynchon to this copy of his first book genuinely inscribed by him to the parents of his friend and classmate, the author Richard Farina, (offered in our second Classic Book Cards set), you're just not getting it. For perhaps the best explanation of the entire signed versus inscribed argument, refer to the excellent article by Ken Lopez. In short, the more that has been hand-written by the author into a copy of his book, the better.more
