Welcome to the site, Adam Lomotowski. It's so hard to say because it does change from time to time. I'm a little on the fence about this one.
A larger photo of the signature itself would be helpful.
Anything i need to look out for?
I can’t upload a larger picture
It enlarged when I clicked on it, did it not do that for you?
The last couple of letters in "Stephen" don't look quite right to me, but, I'm no expert and also he changes it from time to time, so it's hard to tell. Others will weigh in and maybe give you a clearer idea, sorry.

I used my computer screen to enlarge it to 240% and although it looks very much like a real signature it's also quite messy and seems to have too many letters in the first name.

You may have to wait until tomorrow when our main moderator comes back on duty
...Hi Adam!....even though it has what appears to be an “authentication” sticker in the lower right corner...it doesn’t look right a’tall....
Just a note--the presence of that 'authentication" sticker devalues the book somewhat. It's equivalent to having someone's bookplate attached to the book.

The first name does look completely different from 'Stephen'. Where did you get it?
I found more similar ones like this through Google Images. So it could be real. Sometimes autographs turn out a little different, and he has to do a lot obviously.

The opening S doesn't always turn out great at times, like here for example:

It looks off to me and I can't figure out what that label(?) is in the bottom right corner of the page. The person selling should be able to provide some sort of provenance as to where the signature was obtained which would be helpful. Certificates of authenticity are more often than not absolutely worthless and should not be relied upon as a sole source for proof of signature. You're wise to seek another opinion.
Good afternoon, any luck by chance?
