I got it from here.

TIME: You're a brave man. You talk bluntly about a lot of things in your book.

Cafferty: Well, I figured that if I was going to do it, I might as well try to get some meat on the bone.

make the book substantial/significant, having some real meat/content

compare with a bone with no meat on it, you can't do too much with it
