This collection of fake and forged signatures regarding Bobby Fischer comes to
light in a very informative book by renowned chess collector Lawrence Totaro.



"I enjoyed the book very much, it was well researched and produced very professionally. It is something every collector should have on their library shelf. I think it is a good reference work on a little known facet of autograph collecting. My congratulations."

Al Wittnebert-Treasurer UACC


"After receiving a copy of this book, I was extremely impressed with the illustrations, layout, and wealth of informative information that author Lawrence Totaro shared. I had a fresh awareness of the fake and forged memorabilia that is on the market and the book gave me hints and tips of what to look out for. An excellent resource."

Justin Michael Jenkins - Artist (Cover Artist for Book)


"It's kind of slick, it's kind of flashy, but Fisching for Forgeries will be welcomed by anyone interested in the highly specialized world of chess autographs."

Book Review Editor, David Butts


"The meat of the book is contained in the author’s commentary and illustrations of what is real about Fischer’s work, compared with what is sometimes laughably false. The author guides the reader to a better likelihood of obtaining real Fischer memorabilia – which might be extended to any collector on any subject trying to purchase material on-line by such means as e-bay."

"Totaro's loving effort in this booklet is to give both the collector and the historian one more useful tool to identify what is true and what is false. Fisching for Forgeries focuses on one specific target: the Bobby Fischer autograph."
