I know this will probably sound daft, but have you tried asking at the library (a large one, say Taunton) They should be able to at least tell you some details about the publisher etc....

thanks for your help guys. I found these too but I wanted to read the book that was only about the event as it might have more info.

Is there anyway of contacting the wincanton online site, that mentions the book and ask them more details about it??? If the library services can't help and they have mentioned an actual book, they might be able to give you more details about where you may be able to get a copy of the book. Or maybe (a very long shot mind) would be tourist information services - they might be able to give you more details (though this is probably doubtful lol)
