I think it's extremely impressive that he was able to get a book published on a topic with such a small audience: good for him!

It was published through Lulu, which is a print-on-demand service, rather than through a traditional publisher, so what kind of audience it could expect didn't matter. The Lua books use the same service. It seems to work well for niche books like those, though I think Let Over Lambda would have benefitted from a traditional publisher, where an editor would have toned down the bombastic writing a little. It's an interesting enough book to be well worth reading anyway though.
