May be you could buy yourself a beer.

AFAICS, htmlize generates the css based on face attributes. I am sure
you could improve the results by customizing your face definitions -
font-lock-keyword-face, font-lock-comment-face etc etc.

As someone who is authoring a book you requirements could be
stringent. May be you use latex for producing book digitally and html
for getting the word out and striving to have similar visual effects on
both the mediums.
