This is the original novelization of The Empire Strikes Back, which was published around the time of the movie's release in 1980. The book was re-released in the 1990s, including a hardcover version, when Lucas was working on the special editions of the original trilogy and getting ready to finish writing and start filming the prequel trilogy. This has an introduction by Lucas in which he talks about the movie and some of the issues that surrounded getting it made after the success of Star Wars.
This is a pretty straightforward novelization of the movie. It does not change the story at all but does have some dialogue changes here and there. Usually, what ended up in the movie is better than what was in the book, so the dialogue was changed for the better in the movie screenplay. The book is very short, much shorty than the novelizations of the prequel and sequel trilogy movies, and can easily be finished in a day or two.
