mikep Posted December 2, 2006 Share Posted December 2, 2006 I have had this book, The Demecratic Forest for a few years, and have forgotten what Mr Eggleston has signed under his name. Can anyone help? Is it Memphis? Mississippi? Thanks Mike http://www.pobega.com/williameggleston.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve_bellayr Posted December 3, 2006 Share Posted December 3, 2006 It doesn't matter in terms of value. What does matter, is that it appears that you have a Eudora Welty autograph on the same page which is far more desireable. If you are unaware, Ms. Welty was a renowned photographer and writer.

Spearhead Posted December 3, 2006 Share Posted December 3, 2006 I didn't see any question about value, just about what is written below Eggleston's signature. Some people don't have books to place a monetary value on them. Looks almost like "Natchez" to me, hard to tell what it says.
