Interestingly enough it seems that Elizabeth Strout has not been very busy signing copies of her new book Pulitzer Prize winning novel Olive Kitteridge, so when collectors went looking for signed copies of her work they found their way to her debut Amy and Isabelle since it was her only work with a quantity of signed copies. Whether the lack of signatures is due to Strout having developed a distaste for signing or simply because she has not yet gone on an author tour has yet to be determined (or at least I don’t know). If indeed it’s the former, some buyers may have snagged a gem.
