I think bookbinding technologies have made a great step forward since 1985, so any professional dealing in publishing business can tell the difference between a book printed and binded in 1985 and in 1990s. If you have the book, I suggest that you show it to such person. He'll solve the mystery.

Good idea. But the book was self-published (and made to look otherwise). I doubt there's any measurable standard to go by with a "did-it-myself" job, but it's still an interesting idea.
