It's not unauthorized, it's just that its license is very tightly constrained to TOS and TAS (which is why the Kzinti are in its version of the Trek universe), and there's probably strict limits on the specific canon characters they can use (if any -- I've never read any of the books myself). Not only is it still in print, it's got a bunch of spin-off products, including several versions of a tabletop RPG. Paramount watches them like a hawk, too -- as I recall, one supplement released referenced something in TMP, and Paramount got that specific supplement recalled/pulped/whatever for copyright infringement.
