Yup, that's definitely it! (I have a couple copies of it in English, and
that's the title. I'm not sure where the set number 5909 came from, but it
was in the original Pause-Mag DB inherited from Lou Z.)
I think I might have a couple crummy old Quick-Cam photos up somewhere from
a copy I sold in an auction in 1996...lemme see...OK, got it:

I've always wanted to know that too! AFAIK, there was 1 and only 1. :-(

Definitely on-topic to this .general group!

p.s. I have one archive-quality copy of the book in mint condition, which
I'm keeping, and one copy which got wet when it was sitting in front of a
window during a rainstorm. I put paper towels between every page and put it
in front of a fan for 2 days to dry it out, and this seems to have worked
due to the excellent no-smear ink used in the printing process. The pages
are still wrinkly, but I think all of the images are still great. So this
would be a perfect candidate copy to hack apart for flatbed scanning. If
someone wanted to scan the entire book for posterity, I could loan it out
for that. (First I'll have to find it though, which may take a couple
months...)
