I have always thought it was a big red flag that stump waited for Cobb to die to publish his book. The movie makes it out like he was still there writing with Cobb when he died but the truth is it was several years later when the book came out. I wouldn't be surprised if Stump and his editor decided that there wasn't enough "meat" and so they manufactured some to generate sales.

sad really.......
