Reviewers have generally liked Bob Dylan's new release, The Philosophy of Modern Song.

But there has been some criticism ... from buyers who thought they were purchasing limited-edition individually autographed copies.

Variety reports that on Friday, readers who spent $599 for copies signed by Dylan — of which there were only 900 — were eagerly sharing pictures of the signature.

That was how sharp-eyed people noticed the eerie similarity among the autographs — leading them to realize an "autopen" was used.

Autopens capture a person's signature and then, using a mechanized pen, reproduce the signature.

By Sunday, publisher Simon & Schuster acknowledged the complaints and offered both an apology and refund.
