Scope & limitations
A report by the committee is evidence of what it disclosed; it is not an invoice or an independent bank reconciliation.
The stated purpose is Campaign Literature. No title, ISBN, unit count, unit price, contract or purchase-specific royalty allocation is identified.
A publisher vendor entry does not establish payment to Sanders personally, royalty retention, improper personal use or wrongdoing.

This memo item is a subitemization of an American Express payment. Counting it again as a separate cash disbursement would double-count the same reported expense.
