Bob Dylan has offered his "deepest regrets" to fans over an "error in judgment" in using a machine to sign copies of his new book. The 81-year-old 'Blowin' In The Wind' star was caught up in a furore after $600 limited edition copies of his tome 'The Philosophy of Modern Song' were advertised as "hand-signed" but were later found to have been autographed using an "autopen" which replicated his scrawl. Bosses at publishing company Simon and Schuster have acknowledged the blunder and offered refunds and now Dylan has explained how the situation came about.

Bob Dylan has said that allowing an ‘auto-pen’ machine to be used to scrawl his signature onto books and artwork prints was “an error in judgment”.This follows the admission last week from book publisher Simon & Schuster that the “hand signed” copies of Dylan’s new book ‘The Philosophy Of Modern Song’ it had been selling for $599 were not, in fact, hand signed.That admission in turn followed chatter online that the signatures appearing in the signed copies of ‘The Philosophy Of Modern Song’ were all very similar indeed, albeit with some slight variations having seemingly been built into the machine-based signing process.The book firm initially denied that the hand signed books were not hand signed, later implying that it had not been aware that an auto-pen had been used. But once it became clear that technology had been employed, Simon & Schuster issued an apology and pledged to refund all the $599s that had been paid by Dylan’s fans.The man himself admitted in a statement this weekend that the auto-pen has been used to sign artwork prints as well a books.
