My favorite professor and advisor just released a book. He is listed as the Editor and has written a foreword for the book, but the rest of the material in the book is written by other people. It’s basically a collection of non-fiction that he put together about one of his favorite topics.
I am going to see him in October and I have a copy of this book.
Is it appropriate for me to ask him for an autograph in my book? Or should that only be asked of the people who are actually among the collected authors?
In my opinion, since he contributed content for the book and gets credit for putting it together, it’s definitely fair to ask him to sign it.
I’ve seen people take an anthology around to several of its authors and have them each sign by their stories. I’d ask him to sign by his name at the “Edited by” credit on the title page, or where he (presumably) signs with the date and his name at the bottom of the foreword.
