...but I just wanted to ask who was responsible for this, because whoever you are, that was awesome.

Copypasta from Facebook since I don't want to type it twice:
We have to thank George Bushnell for that, he gave his copy to Tabitha at Bronycon Everfree because he's awesome like that. There was actually a post about that on Facebook a while ago.

Re: No idea if this is the right place or not...
[since it is actually similar in nature, I'm posting this here. TL;DR at the bottom]
I have a sad story to tell. Soooooo, just this past weekend, I was able to meet Tara Strong at a Comic Con in Dallas, and I decided, in my infinitly failing wisdom, to give her my set of Fallout Equestria. I walk up there and fail to do it. Yep, I fail miserably and feel a pang of regret. So later on in the day I got back and make up a pathetic story about my "friend" wanting to give it to her because I wanted to remain anonymous. She didn't really want it and I was blinded by myselfishness and made her take them anyway, even after she signed them for my "friend". She said she couldn't take them, so I told her, "Well, I'll just leave them here, and we'll see what happens. Blinded by anonysmug, I walked out feeling...wierd. I know that I did what I wanted but, something wasn't quite right. As the con went on, I realized the problem. I had become to attached to the books and blinded by my own selfish desires for Tara to read it and then tell the other's working on the show about it, that I had forgotten that I had left it with someone who WASN'T interested in reading it, unlike Tabitha, who was very interested in it. I came back one final time to ask for the books back unless she was genuinly interested in reading it. By the time I came back, she was no longer at her booth, and trying to find a celeb in a Comic Con is actually easy considering people flock to them. If there's no crowd in a group, it's because they had left for the night. I decide that I had missed my chance for it and decided to call it a terribleend to a generally good day. On my way out, I saw someone wearing the shirt as me, the WeLoveFine Dr Whooves shirt and said hi. We went back and forth about our shirt in a joking manner and she made a comment about having an awesome day and I made one about having a not so great day and proceeded to spin a better story than the one here (this is more of a skeleton) and she gave me a look that says "I'm about to blow your mind" and pulls out BOOK FIVE of FALLOUT EQUESTRIA signed by Tara Strong in the same place I saw her sign and in the same color ink. I asked to check it to make sure it was the one I gave Tara and it definitely was. So I spoke with this person for a while and I was able to ascertian that she would definitely read it. And slowly, I came to accept that the painful feeling I was having was because I was sure I had given it to someone who wouldn't read it. Now this random person has only book five of the series so I can only assume that four other random people have the other books. So in the event that you run into someone with only one book of FOE and it's signed by Tara, do me a favor and make sure they love the book. Oh and point them over to me or point me to them. I'd like to check if it's the right book, Don't want to look like an idiot.
TL;DR Tara gave out a signed copy of FOE to probably 5 (could be 4, she might've kept one for herself) and I don't think she understands that it was a single story that was boken up. Ah well, she's a busy person so I doubt she'd have read it anyway. Also I plan on buying it again for the second printing.

You schooled 'em like a bunch of frost-bitten, flat-footed, molasses-eating, lead-pants-wearing, cross-eyed glacier-trolls riding slabs of plywood with sandpaper on the bottom!!! ... And we won some shiny stuff, too.
