"A book can be printed in limited quantities, less than 100, even less than 10. When a Grad Student publishes their dissertation, it has to be published by the college or university print shop, but they only print as many as the student need, from 1 to 5, 10 at most. If you self publish your own book, you can print from 1 to 10,000. Most print 500 and sell them locally. I really doubt who ever published this wanted it to be on the NY Times Best Book List. If 100 of them were printed, that would a large order. I'm guessing less than 20 were made for a very limited audience." Fernando explains, adding, "But, it being a recorded history of the future, makes this a very dangerous book to read. Somebody wanting your death would only need to get the book to know when and where you will be on a given day and kill you then and there. If it were me, I would toss that manuscript into a fire and forget it exists."
