When you edit a placed book, the owner is stored in an off-screen text filed:
cce41a94b1/init.lua (L80)
you can get your cursor into that field (mostly by accident) by just tabbing there.
Same anti-pattern that many other mods use :\

Not really serious, but some books become broken by accident (text overlaps and author can't edit it anymore).

this has been around long enough that it's occasionally but rarely used to intentionally let other people write in a book in a protected area. a solution might not be upstream, but in integration.

MT is interesting X)
Do we need a "shared book" that any people could add to? Or what are the good use cases?

I would like it.

Very often I have been asked to read books by other players for review and I myself have given my books to other players. Until now, however, corrections had to be made in a cumbersome way using another medium.
