Emacs internals are documented very well, inside both the relevant parts
of the Lisp reference manual and the code itself.  Writing a book would
not make for much benefit.  In fact, it would become tiresome to keep
that book up to date.

I think that there is a misconception floating around the internet that
Emacs internals are difficult to understand.  Certain individuals
spreading misinformation hold a great deal of responsibility for this
situation.  IOW, a significant boost to Emacs development will result
from combating this disinformation.
