My personal guess is that it was signed in pencil and the peson tried to do a decent job tracing over and lost track of what he/she was doing on the last name and messed it up or something. It is impossible to tell without seeing it in hand and possibly magnifying it, but that is my hunch. Since it had no monetary value when it was glued in the book, I doubt it is a forgery and the first name looks pretty good for a trace job. Just a guess.
