[quote="il0veseamushp"]So last week I went to Ally Condie’s book tour stop here where I live and got her autograph.

I also ordered the Matched trilogy box set from Barns and Noble and today while I was reading the last book in the series Reached, I noticed that the book has also been autographed? (the box set is new it came wrapped in the plastic and everything, not from a person selling their copy)

I havent done much searching on this to see if she signed a bunch of books before they where sent out or placed into box sets? ive googled some but havent come up with any info on these autographed books?

i know of one other author that signed the whole first printing of his book before they were shipped out to stores like walmart where i bought my copy. ([i]"every single copy in the 150,000 first print run of The Fault in Our Stars by John Green will be personally signed by him, using a Sharpie pen."[/i])

not sure if anyone is a fan of this series or would like to help me find some info on this autograph ..

thanks!

My sister bought the boxed set at Barnes and Noble about 2 months ago, and opened up Reached, and it was signed too. We're pretty sure it's real, since some of the pen bled through to back of the page. Plus, it looks slightly different from yours. She must have just signed copies of Reached for the boxed sets? I don't know. It was a nice surprise though(:
