Some great signatures and photos worth saving unless you plan to buy the book.

Nice that Billie and Basie signatures are together, presumably signed during her short stint with the Basie Band.

It's interesting that all those signatures were gathered in such a limited framework of time. I wonder if the gatherer was a Swing newbie who was really excited and then not so much? Ha - or maybe they got everyone and there was no one left to sign!

Also Billie and Artie together. Did he see her singing with both bands? Some guys have all the luck.
