I believe you're thinking of the book "The Art of Digital Electronics"...I 
don't remember who wrote it.  I too have been considering building an 8/i 
compatible, and wouldn't mind some insight.

There is _lots_ of software for that platform, of course.  The PDP-8
has a rich history.

I've been re-reading a book on processor design I picked up a few
years ago, based on a recommendation on this list.  I am blanking on
the title, but it describes a 74183/74181-based F20 and a 2910-based
microprogrammed F30 PDP-8/i-compatible CPU.  I've been mulling over
what it would take to build one of those (besides lots of time ;-)
