An arguably better source of info is chapter 18 from
"Tricks of the Internet Gurus".  There are several on-line
copies of the book; search on "gopher gurus".  Here's a
russia-based copy:

I used to have several old gopher-related articles on the
previous incanation of my server; I'll see if I can dig them
out of the backups.

If you're craving an actual book I'd suggest the following:

"Managing INTERNET Information Services"
- WWW, Gopher, FTP and more
O'Reilly & Assoc., Inc. - c 1994

It covers pretty much everything that was known about UMN
Gopher client/server at the time.  Gopher is covered in
chapters 11-16 and appendices A-C.  It was the best $1 I
ever spent on gopher reading materials. ;)
