Seth and Jane inscription to Tam Mossman

In Rob's notes (Personal Sessions?), he writes of a reader who sent in a Seth book with a self-addressed envelope for the book's return asking for Seth's autograph and Seth duly obliged.

I brought this to Mary Dillman's attention and not too long thereafter, she discovered this inscription to Tam Mossman, Jane's Prentice-Hall editor (below).

So at least two books received Seth's autograph.

Here is the passage:

"I will autograph your book."

(As Seth, Jane picked up a copy of Personal Reality from the coffee table. A reader had sent it to us, asking for Seth’s autograph. Seth had never signed a book before—but did so now with a flourish, using a red felt-tip pen.)"

—TPS3, Deleted Session, March 2, 1976

There is a minor mystery here. 

Mary Dillman says the Jane & Seth inscription to Tam is in the book The Seth Material (1970). Presumably, Jane and Seth wrote the inscription when the book was newly published. Yet Rob says in that Personal Sessions note that the autograph made for the reader who sent in a copy of Personal Reality "Seth had never signed a book before." —TPS3, Deleted Session, March 2, 1976. 

Rob also notes that the symbols Seth drew out in the Appendix to Seth Speaks (Session 592, Aug 23, 1971) that "This was the first time Jane had written anything while in trance." 

Was Jane making her inscription in 1970 and had an impulse, perhaps from Seth, to quickly go into trance for him to also sign and Jane never happened to mention it to Rob? Or, if she did mention it, he forgot? Did Jane and Tam not do any proofreading of Seth Speaks (perhaps all done by Rob) to catch the error in Rob's "This is the first time" remark?

Mary says on occasion she has found errors in Rob's record keeping.

In any case, a minor mystery.
