Heh.

I don't know whether to hope that it is or is not authentic.

Not only is it not authentic, they've not even tried very hard. The photo on the back of the book has been flipped vertically, rather than rotated 180 degrees, and none of the back cover text has been inserted below it. It's also in the wrong place. There's also too much white space above the lettering on the front cover.

Back cover here for comparison:

It's a fake; see Snopes, or Tom Tomorrow.
