Certainly; I'm not disputing that. I'm disageeing with Lauzon's claim that a publisher adds no value to the book for the reader. That value could certainly be added by other means, I agree, but at the moment it is undeniably added by the publisher.

The peer review can be implemented in other ways. For example there is a movement for academic papers to try to publish first (electronically) and peer review afterwards.

Would you trust a textbook that hadn't been peer reviewed? I wouldn't!
