I wonder if it could be made cheaper by forgoing the physical printing but giving the author/editor/publishing team the same profit. That might make it easier for more people to get hold of it.
Well some kind of print on demand service would seem to fit the bill here. Your problem is basically that to get an someone who can write who also has considerable technical expertise to pony up their time, you're going to have to find an advance to pay them (probably via a payment on delivery arrangement). I'm guessing that a reasonable advance is in the €5-10k mark to ensure that you pay out enough of the author's time.
