Because they are stupid. Don't buy their books.

Many of them are translations from German books from the publisher Data
Becker, and those books have a reputation of containing more incorrect
than correct information.  Unfortunately, unless you already have a lot
of knowledge about the subject, you cannot tell what is correct and
what isn't. But in their C64 intern book (yes I know it is old) that I
have, I had to make lots of corrections.
