The publisher doesn't get to say "don't use this book to write a book about the book."

If I could get chatGPT to quote me a full chapter out of Harry Potter word for word, that would be one thing. But I'm pretty sure it can't.
Perhaps that you legally obtained the book while the companies responsible for LLM training have very rarely paid anything to anybody and that only when the courts have ordered such payment. Copyright and other legal doctrines seem to mean little to them other than being annoyances.

You may also want to take a look at the Fair Use/Fair Dealing laws in your area.
