This type of explanation is not heard in English, because there's no way to say it clearly. For example, if his current book is A, and the one before this current book was B, and the one before B was C, then, if you mean he mentioned it in B, the only clear way to say it is: He mentioned it in B. If he mentioned it in C, you'd have to say: He mentioned it in C.
