Here’s a nice item (below) I came across at http://www.popculturesignatures.com It’s the book “The Unquiet Grave” by Cyril Connolly, written in 1944. It is signed by Cyril Connolly on the title page, also signed by Hunter S. Thompson, Jack Kerouac, Charles Bukowski and Allen Ginsberg on the first page. I think we can safely say that nowhere else on this planet is there anything signed by these four men on the same page. (Feel free to correct me if you know otherwise)

The best description of the contents of this book I could find is from wiki It comprises a collection of aphorisms, quotes, nostalgic musings and mental explorations.”

Here is a bit about this beauty from the site. “The book “The Unquiet Grave” by Cyril Connolly. It has been signed on the first inside page by Jack Kerouac and Allen Ginsberg in pencil, and Charles Bukowski and Hunter S Thompson in blue ballpoint or biro pen. It has been signed by the author, Cyril Connolly, on the title page. This came from the collection of Sig Goode. Sig started collecting autographs in the late 1930′s while working as a staff photographer for MGM, Modern Screen and others. Sig’s site can be seen at movietreasures.com. This 1957 edition paperback book shows some signs of age and wear. Some peeling and chipping at the top and bottom of the spine. Price has been stamped on cover and first inside page, which also has crease in upper right corner.
