Sorry ... but the book is 4 years late now.  How do I know?  Well, I have a
copy
of the original cover from the book, thanks to Michael @ DR.

The book was (and may still be) called:  New And Used - The World Of
Designers Republic

The cover is basically a mixture of their PWEI work, and the cover to the
Joey Beltram
single on Warp.  (even a bit of their early design aesthetic, Age Of Chance
era covers)

It was to be priced £33.95, and it was to cover their work from 1986-1994.
They were
planning to include some multimedia content and also a collection of some
of their fonts
& 'clipart'.

Now if they'd only get off their asses and put the damn thing out.  I'd
fully expected that
they'd at least release it on their 10th anniversary.  If anyone else has
been checking their
website, though, you fully understand how pathetically slow they are.  : )
