It's really been leaked (or appears to have been). I didn't believe it until I downloaded a "copy" myself. It's basically every page of the book photographed (like, holding the book open with one hand, snapping pictures with a camera with the other). It appears to be a library copy (due to the protective cover). It certainly looks authentic. From what I saw in my brief search, it's being sniffed out rather hard by the publishers (TONS of dead links), but they haven't found all of the copies yet (as evinced by my finding a working one in less than 5 minutes). In short, I'm echoing what you said: be careful. It's almost certainly out there.
Oh, and as a comfort, I did read that there are a slew of fakes out there. Mostly put out by authors hoping to be seen, supposedly. Jerks. I hope they are stuck at McDonald's for eternity.
