per steverd's website -
first, you either know what book you want, or steverd's page here -
http://www.steverd.com/whatbook/whatbook.htm
has pictures of most of the gamebooks as well.
then, look at steverd's text list and grab the ISBN number off the page for the particular book, and search amazon for the ISBN number.
here's the text book listing, which pretty much covers every video game book and has isbn, author info, etc...

if you do this, you'll save money in the long run. most of these old books go for up to $50 or more, like the donkey kong books. amazon usually has many copies of the same book for really low costs.
