I think it was one of those Roger Dean Yes-style prog paintings of dragons
and wizards and stuff.

Even in his day, I think Mozart had a publisher. And his music wouldn't have
survived if it hadn't been written down on paper.

Yep. "They seemed to keep extensive records until early in the 21st
century... from then on they had a lot of electronic gadgets, but there is
no evidence that these people retained a written language."

These "virtual book" boosters are cretins with no sense of permanency.
