     I have not heard of Handbook of Cubik Math, but I do have a book
that fits your description. It covers the group structure of Rubik's
Cube. It is;

	    Notes On Rubik's Magic Cube
	    by David Singmaster, 1981, ISBN 0-89490-043-9
	    Enslow Publishers, Bloy Street and Ramsey Avenue,
	    Box 777, Hillside, New Jersey 07205

A good bookstore should be able to order it for you if it is still in print.
I have two other books that cover groups and the Rubik Cube type puzzles. 
They are;

	    Inside Rubik's Cube and Beyond, Christoph Bandelow,
	    ISBN 3-7643-3078-3, 1982,
	    Birkhauser, Boston

	    Puzzle It Out Cubes, Groups and Puzzles
	    John Ewing and Czes Kosniowski, 1982,
	    ISBN 0 521 28924 6
	    Cambridge University Press,
	    32 East 57th Street, New York, NY 10022
