Please note there is an additional signature and/or writing present on this page! Initially, we believed the other signature/writing might be of some importance. Unfortunately, we have been unable to ascertain, with an acceptable degree of certainty, the identity of the other individual who also put their signature on this page.Furthermore, we can't tell of this is a name or simply some random writing?For these reasons, we MUST proceed with an abundance of caution and assume the other signature/writing is simply the name/writing of a previous owner. The additional signature/writing adds no monetary value or has any cultural significance. If anything, the additional signature/writing should be viewed as an unfortunate flaw! Unfortunate internal writing and nothing more.Once again, we want to repeat that there is another signature and/or writing present on the same page as the Margaret Atwood signature and we believe this signature/writing was done by a previous owner.
