That item was added because it was supposedly sold through official TLG channels.
If you can provide evidence that the book you purchased is currently for sale
or was ever sold by TLG, then yes, it can be added.
Otherwise, it is not an official LEGO item and would not be accepted into the
catalog.

No problems, thanks for the information.

Have you read the reviews, it is not the best print, colors do not compare to
real colors in a book about colors...

I did read the reviews but I managed to get it new from amazon for £6.07 hardcover,
I wanted it for the color definitions and general info not really for the photos.

It's not a terrible book (and I think he has a new edition coming with better
printing), but he doesn't credit the people who worked to research and compile
this color data in the first place.  It's nifty that he used a colorimeter
but the rest of the information is freely available online.
I can't complain too much, it's not as if I've updated my own list
recently. Need to get on that...

If there is a new edition in the works, I would encourage the author to proofread
ALL the reference numbers in the book. There are four different numbering systems
used, and the current edition looks as if there were substantial changes made
to one part of the book (the part with all the photos) without updating some
of the reference pages (the color group comparisons at the beginning).
For example, if you look up Orange on p. 7, it says "Bright Orange 40". "40"
does not correspond to any number for Orange - it is not a BrickLink ID or LEGO
ID, not an Unofficial Color Guide ID, or an Unofficial Color Guide page number.
It would also help to remove all BrickLink Color ID numbers. The only purpose
they have is to show the order in which the colors were added to the catalog.

I did not but its book marked now. Thank you .
Part of the reason I got it was also to get me away from the laptop for a few
hours and have something physical to read.

I had been looking forward to the book, but I also read the reviews and decided
to not buy it due to that same reason.
