I am writing about the following book.
Hands-On Smart Contract Development with Solidity and Ethereum
5. Deploying and Interacting with Contracts
The chapter "Deploying to Goerli with Parity" is about creating a local Testnet node and deploying via that node. The biggest bottleneck is probably the time it takes to sync the node.
My recommendation is to skip this section and go to "Deploying to Rinkeby with Infura".
