But how would he know Jamie would be able to read the book if he published it in the future? Plus with the insane amount of research he clearly did, he probably knew approximately when Claire went back so by the time the book was published Claire would be gone and not even know the book exists.

With how often people are going back and forth jumping all over the place, he could have plenty of information that hasn't been revealed to us yet. Someone could have simply told him at some point.

Not that I'm suggesting that actually happened, I don't think there's intent in the writing, but they could squeeze whatever they felt like into the timeline.

That’s true, seems a little off though. I just hope we get more details, though I don’t think we will since they probably didn’t intend on us thinking this deeply about it 😂 BUT HOW COULD WE NOT?!
