my brother and I usually trade obscure Dr Who themed gifts at xmas. One year early on I’d seen the actor Fraizer Hines who was on the show from 1964-67 at a convention and I bought his autobiography, with him being kind enough to write inside “See what nice things your brother gets you.”
When a humor columnist back home wrote a jokebook, Dad went to the signing and bought me a copy. The author somehow messed up the inscription somehow, so he gave that copy to Dad and autographed a fresh copy for me (“For the Carlson Residential Bathroom Library,” which is specifically the basement bathroom Dad would appropriate for himself whenever he and Mom visited).

He’s a writer, but cannot spell. Classic. Must be a gen Z author.

I had the same thing happen with an autographed book. ‘Mark’ became ‘Morg’. And I wasn’t about to change my name.

When I retired after 28 years with a Federal government agency, they spelled my surname wrong on my commemorative clock.

Bit of an attitude, not a good idea to have one like that BEFORE one has actually attained fame and/or fortune.
