I have the book you are talking about. It was written by an amateur operator here in the B'ham area, Mick Lindley. The book was published in 1993, and much of the information on frequencies is no longer accurate, although many of the frequencies are still in use.
Here is a link to Mick's (Terry's) website for info on ordering the book:
