Okay, I don't know if it's authentic. In fact, I highly doubt it is... I'm just not that lucky But... I would like to see what you guys think it's worth. Authentic or not.

Title: Sidelights on Relativity

It doesn't seem to have any dates on it, but does say "This translation first published in 1922" and "By the same author, Relativity: The Special and General Theory".
It seems to be older, and rather fragile... Also, it's a small book... like maybe 6" x 8" x 1/2".

P.S. - I'm open to offers
P.P.S. - The signature is most definately pencil - it is not a stamp or part of the print.

The handwriting looks really feminine but the e's are made the same. I am not sure you be the judge. If it is I would estimate it's worth at about $600. That is not an offer just what you could get out of it.

His signature

There's nothing worse then old books...I'll trade you a brand new one for that old copy...

(I also have a copy of his latest book, "Ok, So maybe I was wrong...(I forgot to carry the "2")

That is pretty sweet! How did you come across it?

"Oh no, no... What a horrible fake. But the book is worth $50 if I take an eraser to it... so, here's $50."

Then sells it for $1.5M

But yes, yes you do. If we could convert you into energy, you could power a 100W light bulb for 1,425,963,950 years. ...or... power 100,000 homes for 3,000 years.
