This one confused me as well. A thinko, methinks...
@morpheus, is the hardcover book available yet? And if so what is the price in BTC (ie. how do you account for exchange rate fluctuations)?

That still won't work, at least in the long run. It will only take a few hours or days to reverse the encryption, and effectively pirate the book. He can use Denuvo (Which has been cracked despite it's strength), but their rates are probably sky high anyways.

But even if it worked, any such measures would most likely by far exceed the effort, time and costs of printing.
