that's disappointing. i was also hoping to see books that have commonly-used nicknames, like "the dragon book", get counted.
While you could answer my above questions directly, I don’t need them answered; I’m just trying to make the point that “nicknames” cannot be easily correlated with a book when you scale up to “the entire word of readers”.
As was common for 80s software textbooks, this was nicknamed for the distinctive image on the cover.
But (and now your edit clarifies that this indeed was your point), perhaps your point is just how difficult it would be to automatically disambiguate nicknames in diverse communities like StackExchange.
