so you just straight out assumed he was lying because of his choice of

it scans but it based on many false assumptions.

   A: the publishes won't sell to us buyers for "Turf" reasons
      a different publisher has the rights to sell the book in North
      america. there are no copies of that edition available retail.
      (see reesponse to point 1)
   B: Selecting an American author will not necessarily change that,
      and won't provide the quality needed.

If he can do a better job, faster, and for a lower fee why is that bad?

there are so many problems.
