Books are not subject to independent peer-review akin to scientific journals

The key criteria to book publication is the publishers confidence in achieving sales to at least cover their costs - sorry that is the unpleasant reality otherwise they don't stay in business.

Many people know a lot about eyepieces - whether we have the time or inclination to write a book is a separate issue.

Conversely, simply because one writes a book does not automatically denote expertise and anyone familiar with voire dire in the testing of expert witnesses will understand this.
