There is nothing magical happening that forces the image to be at the near point, but you get the largest possible view (i.e. the best angular resolution) when that is the case. So part of the optimal use of a magnifying lens is to position the glass so that the image forms at your near point with your eye very near the lens and the book is assuming that you will have done this. | |
