might try Waterstones (big UK bookstore chain) tomorrow.
I do, however, have a few Texas Instruments GPIB interface ICs (SN75160BN and
SN75161BN) in my junkbox. The GPIB connectors are standard anyway - 24-way
Centronics-style IIRC.
Later.

There's a great book c. 1980 by Osbourne
Press, "PET CBM and the
IEEE-488 Bus (GPIB)", Eugene and Jensen, C.W. Fisher, that focuses
on the Commodore implementation of the GPIB, but nonetheless, has
some good, basic, bit-level explanations of the GPIB.
