Thanks!
I guess I could have looked it up myself (instead of being lazy), but I've found that titles are rarely as unique (not to mention as prominent) as we might think they are when discussing reading material/recommendations. So I tend to feel a bit under-equipped without at least the title and author when undertaking a search. It does seem fairly cut-and-dried with this particular book, though.
