I gave up correcting nonessential books years ago, although I will fix grossly misstated facts so as to prevent confusion.
Most books of this type are edited lightly, if at all. A spell-check of the electronic ms file and a read-through by a junior editor is about all it gets.
The book would have been far better had a real editor been involved early on to steer the author into a more consistent, fact-driven and less folksy style.
