My take. Someone at Kodak doesn't think the this technology will be maintained much longer. But it may have to be reproduced in the future. Publishing a book will widely disseminate the information, so that it might not be lost for all time.

I guess film industry trade secrets aren't all that important any more.
Apparently Kodak was enormously helpful to the author, providing
generous access -- including allowing photographing of their equipment
-- and a lot of consultants to answer questions.
It seems as if they want someone to document all this while it's still
around. And that they don't expect it to be around for much longer.
