Frankly speaking though, nothing that we have access to is 'canon', according to our conception of it. There is a 'continuity' (using a phrase from the TV tropes entry), but as Tak (and Yot-chan) have previously said, they don't really care about creating a 'fleshed-out' canon like, for example, George Lucas does.
Anyways, to explain why I said that this book shows Kawamori's approach is not the 'parallel worlds' idea - it's another work published in the Macross Universe, specifically,
it was published on Macross Olympia in 2065.
i.e. It follows the approach he laid out in the 1998 interview - every work they make is something published in the Macross Universe, based to a greater or lesser extent on people that existed and events that occurred.

Just wondering - did they also say when and where in the universe they were published, like this one does?
