They can probably pass them of as "signed" since the autopen does actually apply a signature, which by definition means it signs the book.
It is like having it signed by my grandma and call it OK, because it is signed and that´s all it says. It does not matter, right, because it does not specify who signed it?
You are right, though. There were also "signed edition CDs" from different artists which of course were not signed, just had signatures print on the booklet.
But here it seems they purposely advertise something in a highly misleading way in order to trick customers, and that I simply consider a cheat.
And I personally do not give a damn if they claim that it is common thing to do in their business and they are professional liars. Whatever. You pay more for signed book, and they should not be able to say it is your problem because you assume the book was signed by the author and not sth or somebody else.
