He's not going to be able to change who he is, so if he's not well known then he's not well known.
If you think being famous is what makes someone qualified to create a product you want to buy, then you're not going to buy his product. That's just the beginning and end of that question, and he shouldn't worry about that one bit.
He's not going to sell as many books as DHH would, but hopefully the product stands on its merits and will provide more value to its readers/watchers/interacters than what they paid for it. My guess is that to many it will.

He only asked for some evidence that the writer is really good at "Designing Web Applications", and knows what he's talking about.
