Maybe the authors did a booksigning there?
Could be this. I signed a box of books for a local book store a few years back.

The (financial, collectible-market) value of a book definitely depends heavily on whether the author is well known and/or "important." Maybe not a lot of people know who Lee de Forest was (when it comes to science/engineering history in school, one is lucky to hear about Edison and Bell), but my autographed copy of "Father of Radio" is worth a good bit.I'll buy if I think they are going to be an investment. One purchase I made in 1999 turned out to be a good one. I got the book, limited edition, numbered and in good condition in a sale for £15. I've seen it on ebay for over £150.
Bibles signed by the Big G are two a penny - now the real investment is the First Folio of Shakespeare signed by him with all the variable spellings of his name. They are at least a penny each!
