			Cheerfully Demented - Who are these people?

frankwu


	Who are these people?
	I am randomly looking through my various thingos, and I stumbled across a copy of the 2005 Glasgow worldcon book. It has pages signed by all these awesome people whose signatures I can't read. Anybody out there who can help identify these signatures? nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; I see: Pat Cadigan (twice!) Jay Caselberg Joe Haldeman P.C. Hodgell Anne McCaffrey Julie McKenna Connie Willis And the rest I'm just not good at identifying. Help!

Bottom pic looks like Bryan Talbot.

First pic, third sig down on the LHS is David A Hardy, I think.

I could believe that the sig above Anne McCaffrey is Terry Pratchett...

I am 90% certain that it is Pterry's signature above Anne McCaffrey.

I don't have any of my signed books available to compare. But it looks like it.

That was my thought, too.

Yup. That's Bryan's signature, and an original sketch. I'd recognize that anywhere.

I think the middle signature on the top page is Sir Alec Guinness!

Chris Roberson is above the letters SP.
Jody Lynn Nye is about the letters ITY.
Robert Silverberg is below Joe Haldeman's.
David B. Mattingly is below Juliet McKenna's.

Awesome! This was exactly what I was looking for. So we've got:

Title page:
Pat Cadigan (twice!)
Jay Caselberg
Esther M. Friesner
Joe Haldeman
David A. Hardy
P.C. Hodgell
David B. Mattingly
Anne McCaffrey
Juliet McKenna
Jody Lynn Nye
Terry Prachett
Chris Robeson
Robert Silverberg
Connie Willis

Second page:
Liz Cameron (Glasgow City Council)
Bryan Talbot

I do note that that signature does look a lot like Sir Alec Guinness, though, of course, Alec died in 2000 (before this worldcon).

Isn't Ms Cameron's signature actually printed rather than added later?

You're right - but she also signed it in person in an area higher up on the page (outside what you can see in the foto). So we're both right, Steve!

Could that be Ian R MacLeod top of the second page?

If that's the hardcover book, it's the one I had signed for you by my gophers in autographing. It was all the pros who participated in autographing plus some walkers-by. :)

Yup, that's right! I just found it on the shelf the other day and I was thinking it was about time to figure out who all those signatures you had gathered for me were! Thanks!
