But if Neal is the author that will explain mysterious things like why rumpelstiltskin's story wasn't in the book, why there are blank boks, etc Rumple's story is in the book. In 2x18, a picture of Balefire from 1x08 was seen.

Didn't notice itaThanks I think that's a continuity error, because in S1 Henry couldn't find out who Mr. Gold's counterpart was, and no one seemed to know about his son (except for Cora, Belle and Hook), as demostrated by their surprise when he takes Emma to New York. So Rumple's full story must not have been in the book, otherwise everybody would know about all of that.

My justification for that scene is that the book hinted at Baelfire as a Lost Boy, and Rumple was in the book only when his path met the other characters.
