The book, Modern Coin Rarities 1986-2016, was published by Westminster Mint, a coin dealer in Minnesota; it was written by Ian Clay, president of Westminster. By all indications, it was a book designed to be an in-house sales/promotional tool by which the company could market the coins listed in it (likely at prices above market). (They are not the first coin firm to produce such a book/booklet.)
The Silver Eagle you've shown was likely sold by Westminster as a tie-in piece at the time the book was published (2017). The special insert does not appear to hold much cache with collectors, so it's likely that coins in such holders will not command strong market premiums.
