On various sources, mostly Wired columns (because that's where I generally read them), I've seen reporters who have had substantial conversations with hackers of various flavors. It would be interesting if one could make contact with the person(s) who put your books up on the darknet could be found (even if in an anonymous form) to ask why those particular books were put up.
My own favorite explanation for the "small anomaly" is that some small number of persons *found* the book(s) on the darknet, and then went to go purchase them. Of course, that favorite explanation may have no relation to reality.
Thanks for answering my question anyway.
