You don't. I made the point many pages ago that what Alwyn claimed he was going to do in the email could have been done without Lyle's permission which is probably why Alwyn asked for no permission in the email and Lyle gave none.
What Alwyn actually did, which was reprinting a lightly edited version of someone's work, not "using and citing" someone's work, requires permission. In fact, the entire chapter should have been credited as Lyle's work, not even as "based on Lyle's work".
It is dishonest to the consumer to pass off someone else's work as your own, even if the original author is a willing participant.
