The book did not make it clear but both are right. 1. If your use "point-to-multipoint" command on interface, the routing packets will be send using multicast packet. 2. If you use "point-to-multipoint non-broadcast" command on interface, you need "neighbor" under "router ospf" and the routing packets will be sent using unicast.
You can turn on debug mode to watch ospf packets, like hello packets, which is easy to observe.
