Kernighan & Pike are describing the "standard" (Bourne) shell, not
the Cshell.  Other things they describe will also not work under
the Cshell.  You seem to have stumbled on the fact that !anything
usually triggers one of the "history" features of the Cshell (which
also has "echo" built-in, by the way).
