Gobi: tag books written by Nobel prize winning authors in all fields, not just literature

I would like to make sure we own every book written by Nobel prize winners in all fields. Unfortunately, outside of the Literature Prize, Gobi doesn't reliably tag (with Approval notes) books that aren't necessarily themselves direct award winners but are written by authors who did win the Nobel. I would either like to have the Approval notes used more consistently to indicate when the book is written by a Nobel winner or else maintain Spotlight lists for the same purpose. One example of a book won by an Econ Nobel winner but does not have any such indication is Alvin Roth's TWO-SIDED MATCHING: A STUDY IN GAME-THEORETIC MODELING AND ANALYSIS. Econ and many other prizes are not awarded for a single specific publication. But this book encapsulates the scholarly work he did that did garner him the prize.
