I sent a msg to a contact at FHB.
Hope you get a reply here in answer to your question.
I found a book with your title at “the Taunton Store”. (Formerly the publisher of FHB mag. Why don’t you contact Taunton and see what they have to say?

Thanks Calvin!
I left an important part out: For their current promotion, if you sign up the handbook is supposed to be included for free. They provided a link to a different e-book and not the remodeling book which is far more valuable.
You rcvd a reply?
I got a notice they emailed you on what to do.
It's possible that Fine Homebuilding no longer has the rights to the book, as the Taunton Books division was sold last year to Abrams. Please send a copy of the promotion to [email protected] and the link you were sent, and I will try to get information for you.
