Good question. It reads as pretty genuine. I guess we all have that "I'm so great" and "I'm so horrible" voices, he just writes more from the latter. It's just a persona.
Part of him wanted to brag by posting that pic, part of him was being the normal humble shy old man taking a risk to soft sell his book.
Part of him is self-deprecating and apologizing for bothering us to tell us about his book, part of him is taking on that persona to sound like me, a normal average dude, so he can sell his book.
