It's not an issue of keeping them "clean," it's just that they wouldn't stay in very good condition. I use the books a lot, and I'm not overly concerned about keeping them pristine; I crack the bindings, I chuck my backpack around, I stack open books on top of each other, all that kind of stuff. If they were autographed, I'd have to pay more attention to preserving the books, which is an annoyance when you're trying to cross-reference spells and magic items in the middle of a tough combat.If I had an extra copy of a favorite book, or maybe a leatherbound "special edition" PH, I'd get it signed at the first opportunity. But that book wouldn't come with me to games; it would stay home on the display shelf.I do have a signed first-edition copy of Battlelords of the 23rd Century, but I didn't seek it out. At one of the first cons where they tried to sell the game, a friend introduced me to the author, who sold me a book for cheap and then autographed it for nothing.</blockquote>
