As I remember, JOGs are distributed on deposit to libraries which
have selected them as a depository item. Since they are published
by the US government, they are not copyrighted, and so the author
of the book you mention could lift as much as they needed for use
in the book, i.e., go to the library and make photocopies and use
them. This all assuming that the sheets you need have actually
made it to the library, as we experienced long stretches of time
when nothing arrived from the DMA.
I also know of members of the public who have tried to purchase
JOGs from DMA/GPO/etc and been told they are not for sale. The
1:250,000 scale is considered too detailed and thus sensitive.
You can try for the 1:500,000 series, but the only thing I've
actually seen being sold is the 1:1,000,000 ONC (Operational
Navigation Chart) series.
Thus proving how wonderful map collections in libraries are!
All of the above my experience at The New York Public Library Map
Division.
