The book is not in the "wannabe complete CP booklist" on my site so
I checked the ISBN (9990587442). According to the International ISBN
Agency this prefix 99905 is not given to any country, area or else.
Given the fact that the book is OOP I doubt the prefix list I used
today is older than the book.

Conclusion: this ISBN is purely fictional.

Best regards, Stefan.
