I call BS. I know it's quaint to realise something 'normal' isn't normal and it makes for a good just so story, but fiction and non-fiction seems like it's pretty straight up going to happen in books, true or made up. A logical divide that would cross cultures. I suspect this is more about word play and translations and odd books stores than a thing. Their evidence seems pretty thin but it's a nice story so perhaps it doesn't matter.
