You are looking in the wrong place for this information. The Info format of a book is not a book, it's an on-line documentation file. For the book details, you should either (a) look at the Texinfo sources, or (b) produce a PDF or DVI/PS format, and look there. (The former is much easier, of course, if you have the sources.)
