Confusing, to be sure - but Handler handled signing in a seeming plethora of ways. He is playful in some of the variant details in the different printings of this otherwise identical edition (ISBN 0064407667, on the copyright page): the frontis in this example is different from the other one listed by us; the Alternate ISBN (at the bottom of rear cover) is also different for the two examples; and the signature page varies between them. How many other details might vary, and how often among the many printings - well, we haven't made a study of that. Maybe it means something.
