It is probably one of those LLM-written books popping up everywhere. Once you have automated the process from LLM to ebook, you can produce them in masses for next to nothing, flood the markets, and hope that someone buys them and forgets to return them. Even if they find only 5-10 victims per book, it’s nearly 100% profit.
OK, the 1999 release date, if correct, is a good argument against it. But for me, it actually sound like a title I’d expect from an LLM model, to be sure.
One might wonder if the money actually goes to the same author/publisher. Given that it is about a rather niche topic, it could be an illegal copy with a random cover.

I don’t think so, considering that it was written in 1999. And it’s just way too specific for something LLM would come up with.

It was originally published in 1999, it’s here with its original cover.

God knows why it’s been rereleases with this weird ai cover now though.

Amazingly, this is an actual photograph. It was published by Pearson. Also, there’s a back:
