We don't know for sure he wrote it. Could have been one of the 'higher species' who were aware that the war happened and happened to know the truth of his real name. Could even have been river, as something to do whilst in prison between visits from the doctor, after all, he probably told her all about it at some point.
The way it was presented was as though it was a precious rare copy he'd been given, rather than something he'd just knocked up himself.

How does that make any sense? he is the same man whatever his face looks like, why would he write a book for himself to read?. Clearly whoever thought of that idea isn't as well acquainted with the show as a person writing a fact book should be.
