If we assume that VMS is a collection of works, then it can be counted as containing at least 4 works:
1 A fairly large encyclopedia about pharmacopoeia.
2 Foldable sheets (almanacs) with diagrams and maps
3 A book with women and pipes
4 Only text
We don’t know how many works the charlatans had in total or what they looked like, but these particular ones might not have been sold for several reasons:
1). The book in an unknown language didn’t interest anyone.
2). The works were not finished.
3). The books were finished, but for some reason the charlatans could no longer sell them.
