Greg,

Perhaps this is the one you were thinking of:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/aw-cgi/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=568170711
As Jim said, it is the same size as the Bentley.  This one on eBay now seems to be
in pretty good shape.  I have both of these manuals now, and I'm not parting with
either of them.  Check out Everett's site
<http://thesamba.com/vw/type3/literature/books/books.htm> to see many more cool
books.  Maybe one of them there is what you are thinking of.

Neil

BTW,  I have nothing to do with either of the auctions I've posted about here.
Just stuff I've ran across with my daily searches on eBay.
