I don't think anyone cares that much about a translator's signature, but who knows.

That sounds remarkably like a shitpost the writer put in to see if the audience or actors were paying attention.
Signed by Homer J Simpson even
Oh wow, that really is a first edition! All the later ones were signed: Homer Jay Simpson
I had a first edition bible signed by everyone except Paul, that asshole. Flipped it for a cool $50 in a garage sale though.

I had the foil Lazarus from the Bethany Trio, but couldn't ever find a Mary or Martha to complete the set. 🤷🏼♂️
I'd have paid at least $55 for Ringos signature alone.
Nothing compared to my signed first edition Necronomicon.
Ia, Shub Niggurath!
Well that would be an amazing gift, now wouldn't it.
Totally worth the multimillion dollar facility you'd have to build around it to keep it from disintegrating.
Homer practiced oral history, written 1st ed would've been someone else, Plato perhaps
Doh!
Was it a 9.4 or higher, cause otherwise, it's trash.
