Hello! Trying to do some fact checking.... I see that someone is trying to sell a signed copy of Beautiful Losers on Ebay and says it's was signed in person when LC was in St. Louis during the 2009 tour...Any truth to this? I didn't think Leonard was doing any signings when he was on tour but I could be wrong.
Thanks

Who can say? Leonard may not have been doing any official signings, but he is usually gracious if someone catches him in an opportune moment.

I poked around on ebay, and the company selling this book also has several guitars on sale supposedly signed by Leonard, as well as other books. None of these signatures look uniquely like Leonard's. The are all sloppy and could easily have been forged, and in fact, several of these autograph sellers have come under scrutiny for selling phony "authenticated" signed guitars and other objects. I'd steer clear of these guys, and if you want an autographed book, look for one that has one of Leonard's stamps on it, or at least one that has a very clear signature.

Hi,
Got to meet Leonard in a dublin city hotel this morning, and I got him to sign my guitar.
Am well pleased and it willl never appear on ebay. A keepsake for life.
