Mark, If it makes you feel any better I think you bought a real piece of history. I wouldn't pay the $760 for the book, but since I got my copy for $15 many years back I don't need another. If you look at what autographed items go for you got a deal. You got a rare first edition book, with an even rarer signature feel proud to own a fine piece of cycling history. enjoy, Brandon"monkeyman"Ives SB, CA

PS: The last autographed first edition I got was Neil Stephenson's "Cryptonomicon" with both Neil Stephenson's and Bruce Schneier's signatures.
