Is this signed book authentic? It seems to match up well to other IP's I have seen

That's 100% authentic.

I don't like the look of that one. It's structure looks incomplete and rushed - and from the authentic IP examples I've seen, Obama characteristically closes his 'O'.
The first pic matches up perfectly with a success that our resident political autograph expert (Chris102), got in person.

Hi Harry,
The first one is authentic and it matches his In Persons very well, the second one looks suspicious though. When authenticiating an Obama autograph - bear in mind he is left handed
Some other features of Obama's autograph is that:
- The "B" and "O" is apart, if they are touching each other then its likely to be fake
- The "O" is often too big in fake Obama's.
Anyways, I would wait for a while for the price to fall before getting one.
