Is there no way to turn off the notice that you have published a book when, in fact, you haven't? If there isn't a way, why not?

I've emailed Authonomy about it.

What notice? I wasn't aware there was that facility. If a book has been published most people add a link to it, eg, to Amazon, Smashwords, Lulu. All I see on your page is a link to a blog.

If you uploaded a book here and made it public, it will show up in your friends' newsfeeds and also on the 'latest books' list. And it will appear on your profile page.

If you then made it private, there is no notice but it will not appear on your profile (and it isn't there). Don't stress about it.

edit: Just looked at your profile and saw you are editing it. All the best.

@Spilota, thanks.

@NMott and Spilota, even if you keep your book private it displays a message to all the people on your friends list that you have published it. If you update it while it is public no further notices are sent, but if you update it while it is private, a notice is sent each time you complete the update process.

Yes, that's why I don't accept friends requests; it clutters up with message feed.
