Looks like he sold a single book recently (because if that amount was anything other than something in the range of $1 to $19, he definitely wouldn’t have blacked it out).

I thought he had framed it as something that sounded mutually exclusive, but I think my brain has also made great efforts to try to shield me from any memory of reading that book, so who knows.

Understandable. There are some snippets of Peronace prose that will forever remain lodged in my brain, but otherwise much of that “book” (and I use that term loosely) has been banished from my memory.
