This copy of the fourteenth edition has been given a slightly different signature by Wim de Bie. Not dated, but according to the eyewitness report of the previous owner, this took place in 1995 in Amsterdam at Galerie Speijer & Vogtschmidt:

"Wim de Bie was daar ook. Zijn vrouw had er een expositie. Wim kwam net terug van het Waterlooplein en had Kauwgomballen Plaatjes gekocht. Een was er van Tata Mirando. Omdat Armando ook aan tafel zat gaf hij die aan hem. Ik vroeg hem het boekje te signeren dat in mijn auto lag. Met enige tegenzin zette hij die krabbel."

¶ Signing sessions were not the favorite activity of the other half of Van Kooten & De Bie. Certainly not in his "leisure time." That is why books with his signature are less common on the market.
