Perhaps more than just irony. When I discovered this, my reporter's instinct kicked in. Success as a reporter often depends more on who you know than what you know. Networking is a core skill.

Not to say conclusively that he did it on purpose, but what better story to draw publicity to yourself (and, your prized book)?
