Well hmmm.  It seems as certain as his forgery of THE NECRONOMICON and his
forgery of Kate's diary.  As Adam Stephanides noted before, it is a big
pointer to the nature of Gold's bookstore as a place of books so rare as to
be impossible: the rising music which crescendos a few pages later around
the more famous and unspoken NECRONOMICON.

(Still hunting for another source to that wonderful "Venus di Milo" story!
So haunting, since I all-but-swore that I'd seen it before, somewhere, just
before reading PEACE . . . )
