The bookplates are actually the type that are used to identify that a particular book came from someone's library:
ex li·bris
ˌeks ˈlēbris/
adverb
1. used as an inscription on a bookplate to show the name of the book's owner.
"ex libris Edith Wharton"
noun
1. a bookplate inscribed to show the name of the book's owner.
So, the signature could be anyone, not necessarily an author.
