I think more likely is it was a computer file from Word or WP or some such and those hyphens were put in as hard-hyphens by someone who wasn't very good at using the word-processor program. Then the computer file was run through a translator, and the code for hard-hyphens was retained, while any soft-hyphens were gotten rid of.

It's hard to know just where the blame actually lies, but for a book which costs money, that's definitely unacceptable.
