I assume that you are joking here in order to stir debate.  Anyone who
thinks that a book, be it fiction and hence likely just a sequence of
words, or non-fiction and this likely with figures and tables as well as
text, does not have design, structure, architecture, etc. clearly has no
conception of good authorship.
