I'm afraid I don't follow: what's unusual about the printed cover of the book, and why is the date of publication relevant to your assessment?

The damaged, scribbled collage of papers that forms the background image of the cover was a pretty odd design choice IMO: https://xmlpress.net/wp-content/uploads/covers/EPPO-Cover-Fr...
It's surely related to the central thesis of the book (quoted below) but I think there could have been a more appealing way to get that idea across
> What is needed today is the same rigor and discipline professional writers have long brought to making books, but not the same methodology. The book model does not work for the Web or for content consumed in the context of the Web.
