Dipper's life isn't just about finding the author, he's more than a character in a show (okay, not really, but sometimes that's how Gravity Falls treats their characters, and that's what I like). It's not like Dipper's going to shut off his entire life just to find the author to some dusty old book. Episode 8 was an important episode of them helping Soos, a much more important character in the twin's life than the Author.
