I remember an employee of Bertram Rota in London explaining to me why books signed by the obscure author John Gawsworth were of such little value: ‘Apart from the fact that he is such an obscure figure,’ he told me, ‘he was so poor at the end of his life that he would slap his signature on almost anything in an attempt to up the price of his books and his library.’ In that sense, booksellers are very particular: a book dedicated by Virginia Woolf to some unknown is not as valuable as a book dedicated to one of her colleagues, E. Forster, for example.
Recuerdo cómo un empleado de Bertram Rota, de Londres, me explicó por qué no valían mucho los libros firmados por el oscuro John Gawsworth: «Aparte de ser oscuro», me dijo, «al final de su vida fue tan indigente que se dedicó a poner por doquier su firma para encarecer un poco sus textos y su biblioteca». En este sentido, los libreros distinguen hasta el menor detalle: no es lo mismo un libro dedicado por Virginia Woolf a alguien desconocido que a uno de sus colegas, por ejemplo a Forster.
