That's great! Like I said earlier in this thread, if you got a personalised copy then treasure it, especially if you met Terry at the time. These days he's not able to personalise them, although he's still managing signatures. 
The cue was long and streched well out side the small book shop.. I got hungry and went for some chips... (damn good chips too.) walking back to my friends in the line I notice this small white bearded fella dressed all in black with a hat with an excessive amount of brim, and a scarf alking down the line towards me.
"afternoon Terry" I said " fancy a chip?"
"dont mind if I do!" he said, then thanking me he entered into the shop to make a start on reducing the line..
My ex-friend Simon who was in front of me took Good omens to sign and ended up with an isncription that read "Burn this book!"
Though if I'm honest the inscription I hold mot dear is the one in my HB copy of Ash: A Secret History by Mary Gentle. We had met up in Batista's coffee shop prior to the monthly Si-fi gathering. with the slight ashamed guilt of taking advantage of a friend I had dragged my copy with me to get her to sign it. She asked do you really want me to sign it? It's probably worth more if I don't. then upon asking me what I wanted her to write I said I'd leave that to her...
If you know Mary at all then you will know she has a wicked scene of humour....
I now have a book signed to me that reads "To Stephen, in memory of all those wonderful nights!, Muwa ha ha ha ha!. Mary"
As I said, an OOK! is good but how can you top Mary's effort ?
sadly won't be personalised.
