Purchased by a forum member. No, it was not me.

I'm the guilty party When I saw that it had been autographed by Jacky Ickx, I told the wife that Father's Day was coming early this year....

 

[Jim Rosenthal]

Good for you, John. Just don't tell Jacky he was described as French. He's Belgian, and a Belgian national hero to boot.

Way to go, John. Next time you're in town please drop me a line--yet another reason to get to know you in person.

Will do Doug, BTW, another Ltd edition of this book is available on Amazon for half the price:

Amazon.com: The Ford That Beat Ferrari-Limited Edition-A Racing History of the GT40: Books: John Allen

No mention of it being in the slip case, but one buyer's review confirmed that this is indeed the signed edition (also confirmed by the ISBN number) and Gordon Jones' comments below.

For those curious about the various editions of this book you can get the information "from the horse's mouth" and read Gordon Jones' comments here: Atlas F1 Bulletin Board - A place to say something about books
