Keep in mind that Lockhart thoroughly researched all his books, so the
books were never fake. Everything that happened really did happen,
Lockhart just gave himself credit for all those things.

The household pest books would simply be a matter of researching and
documenting the information, then taking this standard information, he
would dress it up with stories and anicdotes of his adventures to give
it that certain 'Lockhart style'.

Since the book was well research, it was probably still a good
reference book.


Just a thought.
