Nope (the larger size is P btw, not B).

Yep, correct.

Mmm....I guess I'll have to make my filter/for sale pages more 
clear....;-))
I can off you #89B in Cokin-P size (83x83mm) for US$25, or in your case, 
FL50,-  
These are neither stock color nor stock size/thickness, and these
guys are industrial suppliers, and more or less refuse to do business
with single-item clients. Luckily my orders (of various colors &
sizes) are substantial enough to have them produce what I need, but
even then I often have to wait ages until they have time to schedule
my small orders in the grand scheme of things....8-)) 
Mail me privately if you want to order this #89B.

Well, in English you have the choice between the book from Joe 
Paduano (he is on this list) and Mary White (sp?).
In German there is a nice technical book from Guenter Spitzing, as 
well as a more pictorial/artsy book from Rudolf Hillebrand.
A previous edition of Guenter Spitzing has been translated into 
Dutch, which is more suitable if you don't read German very well 
(it's quite dense/technical German). Never seen the German version of 
this edition, but the Dutch version has a deep red flowered cover.

On second hand photo fairs this Dutch translation often show up,
there is a nice open air fair in Doesburg this August on which you 
might find this book. If you can't make it, I will see if I can find 
it for you. I graze the piles of books there anyway, and have bought 
copies for other people in the past. Let me know if you need details 
for visiting this open air fair.

Another (old) book you shouldn't hesitate buying if you ever
find/see it: Photography by Infrared from Walter Clark, one of the
Godfathers of IR at Kodak Research laboratories in Rochester during
the late 30's and 40's (Randy DeFrank, if you read this: do you have
more historical details about IR & Clark in the early days?)
An interview with him, from Guenter Spitzing's book, is on my homepage:

As this book is almost impossible to find, I can send you a copy if 
you want.
