That's the sort of thing that might get me sentimental enough to keep a signed book. I love good find stories!
I have a first printing, first edition of "A Game of Thrones" in lovely condition that I picked up for $1 way back when off a library's sale shelf. I found lots of nice, once read, nearly new hardcovers with dustjackets there, but that was the only one that was somewhat rare.
I know I should probably sell, now that it's an HBO series and "hot", but I haven't quite gotten there yet. My best book find ever though.
Edit: My find was not signed though! Congrats on yours, I know I'd have been thrilled if it happened to me, fun stuff!
