Well, you know, you can believe that I don't know the state of progress of my own book, or that Kromm described it inaccurately, or that you misread what he wrote. But to me the first would seem least likely.
What Kromm actually said was "I finished my review of the first draft of the most recent first draft from Bill Stoddard." That's a bit confusing if you take it literally, and I can see how you could get at your reading. But it's also plausible to read it as Kromm having gotten briefly absent-minded and typed "first draft" a second time when he meant something else. Note that he said he wasn't feeling his best that week, and your fingers typing ahead of your brain happens to all of us.
The wording "of the first draft of the most recent book" describes the actual situation; so does "of the most recent first draft."
