Perhaps someone still has an ancient BookManager CD with that really old title, such that they still have access to a digital copy. Finding out the name of the .boo file would enable searching for the file name [without the extension, per chance searchable even whilst the content with both title and publication number remain elusive from searches]. The naming qbkaXXXX.boo is likely, but that is just a guess, suggesting a likely prefix.

Of course if they have such a CD, then even if they do not have a functional copy of the BookManager software, probably they could use a converter, from that .boo format to another; e.g. "BookServer is the tool that allows this on the web (converting each BookManager page to HTML on the fly)." which is a quote from the FAQ found via the link included below.

FWiW: From the IBM Publications Center there is a FAQ for which there is a suggestion to click the _About this site_ link for Contact Information, as a response to the question "The publication I want is obsolete - what has replaced it?":
