Just an 80's girl in a modern world!

I was curious how many signed, not personalized, first edition books I had in my book collection.  I have this many (pictured below).

Goldie Hawn, Carol Burnett, Buzz Aldrin, Hillary Rodham Clinton, Julie Andrews, to name drop a few!

I’m at a point in my life where I’m considering selling these.  Need to research their value.  Some may be worth something, some maybe not so much.  The Keith Hernandez book was a gift to my Dad & still has his bookmark in it where he left off, that one remains priceless to me & I will not part with it.

This was a hobby of sorts for me at a different time in life.  I had fun going to these book signings. I see hours of long lines, train rides to NYC, drives to NJ, pizza, coffee, sometimes wine!  Conversations with these iconic individuals, handshakes, some would do talks & Q&A’s, a lot of memories and now a lot of books on my shelves!  No Shakespeare or Mark Twain or Steven King (would’ve loved a signed Steven King but those are hard to get), but a pretty cool collection of a time in my life when I did this a lot.

Signed, first editions!
