1917 book A Treasury of War Poetry by George Herbert Clarke signed.  An unsigned one on Ebay went for $40.  How much value might it add being signed by Mr. Clarke?

They have many at abebooks. Not signed though. I don't know the value of the signature. Is it a first edition?

There are eight pages of the book. There several editions. The value varies. I did see a couple for $50. Or a little more.

eight pages ?

Is there another date verso of the title page ? I think there should be 280 paginated pages in the first edition. Seen one online for $10.

No 8 pages of this type of book ranging in price due to condition. I apologize for not being more specific.

All these are unsigned and mine is inscribed and signed so thinking it is worth a bit more.

I agree. As I said I don't know what the signature is worth. That site does have signed books. You could check.
