No, it's been in dictionaries as an intensifier for hundreds of years too. It's mostly in our lifetime that people have pretended it only means one thing.

They are all SO good.
Ohh, juicy casting!

Yup. I found it very odd the first time someone used it in the other sense.
Yup. "A signed book is a sold book". But you'll find signed hardback books in remainder shops, and for paperbacks if the cover was removed to send back for credit, nobody knows if the book was signed or no.
It's an urban legend. Signed books are still in "a saleable state" (unless they are signed to a specific person). Presigned books often turn up at bookshops.
Basically clickbait, although nonplussed is also used to mean its opposite (but that battle was lost a hundred years ago). www.merriam-webster.com/grammar/nonp...

It took me an enormous amount of work to get 13 Clocks into print in the US, and I did, but they used the original US illustrated version.

Ronald Searle was in a Japanese POW camp where he made these drawings.
If anyone heading through Heathrow Terminal 3 needs a signed book, I signed everything I could find (two Good Omens, a Trigger Warning, a Norse Mythology and two Coralines) in the Bookshop.
They just quoted me, I think. But Kirsten Vangsness wrote the script and she knows that I will always say yes to anything she needs.
Searle was a genius.
But then there's THIS fellow, who I put more on Gorey's level of the spectrum. i LOVE Ronald Searle and he doesn't get talked of enough
I own this image of Gorey's, from a 1973 National Lampoon... I don't know why he didn't turn the ends of stories that followed into a book.
That's crazy. I remember reading you in Amazing Heroes and being so proud that we had an out gay writer in comics journalism. I figured you were an established part of the ecosystem. I'm so sad to learn the truth.
Good luck!
