I'm guessing the authors created a hand-written prompt for each of the books in the library.

So then, at most, ChatGPT would only know a brief summary about the book?
The base model would have information about the books from common crawl training data, summaries, reviews, opinions etc. In some cases parts of the books may be in there.
ChatGPT might have a larger text buffer (the much anticipated GPT-4).

But IIRC GPT-3 has a 4K prompt limit. Enough to fit a concise book summary, I suppose.
