Hi there,
I have that book you're talkin about..it's just great!! The other one 'aerodynamics for naval avtr' is still available, I bought it less than a year ago on amazon. There is one more book that is probably as close to 'handling big jets' as you're gonna get and it's called 'The turbine pilots flight manual' by Gregory Brown/Mark Holt. Been updated a few times and is quite good but doesn't go into handling as much as the other one.
Good luck
