In my own writing it is difficult to deliver on a document covering everything. My documents are published internally at a much smaller scale than "books" in this discussion.
The main stumbling block with large documents, 150 to 250 pages, is not with generating the content, but rather with finding able reviewers. It seems that no one wants to do 1000 pushups a day to get through unfamiliar detail.
A solution that is working for me is publishing by only by chapters, 40 pages max per document. Reviewing effort is down to 200 pushups, all in on one day, to educate the reviewers, make revisions and approve publishing.
The suggestion about reading from a range of qualified authors makes sense in this light as well. It suggests that different people could write shorter books within their area of expertise. Perhaps the experts would then find time to author material while still in full pursuit of code.
