That book is ISBN 1-86160-418-1, published by Quantum ( a subsidiary of Quarto) in 1996?

I think that the publishers Quantum are still in existence - it would be usual to contact an author by asking their publishers for contact details, or to forward a letter. Here are the publishers' details:

Quantum Publishing Ltd   

The Old Brewery
6 Blundell Street
London
N7 9BH
UK

Contact: Sarah Bloxham


Tel: +44 (0)20 7700 6700
Fax: +44 (0)20 7700 4191
Email: [email protected]   

Quantum is Quarto's specialist backlist division. It publishes in promotional markets worldwide including Europe, the USA, Canada, Australia and Asia.

A letter is probably the best way to make a first contact with an author.

If it is a technical question, about something in the book, you could always ask for an answer on here. There are lots of knowledgeable people who would gladly help.
