Assuming the contents of this cheap book are the same as my old book, here is where you can get one cheap. It's from the Asphalt Institute.
For run-off calculations, generally one should be looking to soil scientists, not geotechnicals. Perhaps your state Department of Agriculture has a manual for how to identify differing soils by the pedologic system, usually for farming purposes and soil suitability for growing things. They identify soils by the locations from where that type was first noted, as Miami Silt Loam, or maybe Dunkirk silty clay loan.
A university with an ag department also may have a simple manual to look over. Ask for the soil science department. They sometimes get into the related engineering characteristics also.
