Apparently someone thought it valuable enough to "pirate", so you can see it yourself here, unfortunately minus the bolded 'q' and bad paper quality:

It's perplexing why someone would copy only the first 4 chapters --- and do it poorly --- but I suppose it's enough to sell; maybe they're not as rational as me, since if I were to plagiarize and sell books, a search/replace of the author's name would've been sufficient. No doubt whoever is doing this is expending more effort for an inferior product.
