Hmmm, I just did a search at www.waterstones.co.uk, and found 
a title by the same authors called 'Parallel Computing' - with
the quoted ISBN number. At Waterstones, it is listed as having been
published in Aug1998.
At amazon.co.uk it says Sep1998, but same ISBN-number.

If we are talking about a NEW book, but with misqouted ISBN I'd be
interested.
A search on the title as quoted returns nothing.

Hmmm, at amazon.com it is listed with the title as above, but still
published Aug1998. Same ISBN. 
Ah, and if you're now thinking of buying it, you might want to know that
amazon.com is asking USD52 while amazon.co.uk is merely asking
GBP19.95. 
Apparently the same book, but with two different titles. Odd.
