Publishing a book costs money. Be it in PDF or printed.
The editor makes his/her living from publishing books. It is her initiative
to publish this. The book is not the documentation of Lazarus.

As an analogy:
PHP is free. The documentation of PHP is free. 
But there exist many books about PHP. You must pay for these books.
