Well that escalated quickly!
In fact it took little over 3 hours of me bumping the topic over at Board Game Geek to get a definitive answer. Which is awesome news! Better yet there was an on-line campaign a few years past now to pull these books out of obscurity so it would seem (I however missed it).
But after all this, what book was it!?
The book in question has been successfully identified by Tom Scutt as Mini Adventure Comics #1: The Dungeons of Doom: The Master's First Challenge (quite a title given that the whole book was only A6 in size!).
Unfortunately however of all the books recovered by the campaign, this was not one of them. In fact outside of it's entry over at Demian's Gamebook Web Page it doesn't appear to have left a digital fingerprint.. Which is very odd as even typing in terms like Amish Robot will return Google searches.
So now I embark upon a new quest. Can I find an image of the book? Can I stretch the achievements of the previous project and pull this fine series of which I have many fond memories even further out of obscurity?.. Can I even find a copy! I sure hope so.

Check Quest: Progress 0%
Following up on my own personal quest and, the posts that I have dotted around the net concerning it, consider this a *BUMP*.
Don't suppose anyone passing through has anything to add? I'd really love to find out what on earth the name of this book was.

An Amazing Response
Only three days in and my own personal quest has sent the hit count for this blog skyward and, evoked an amazing response, attracting well over a hundred hits a day all by itself!
Unfortunately though the book still remains a mystery. So I'm stepping the campaign up a notch, inspired by the actions of a friend.
He asked me if I'd like him to post up a request and a link on a gaming forum he's a member of but that I'm not and, I jumped at the chance. The forum itself was for miniature gaming but given the potential cross-overs it seemed viable that someone might know something.
The more people I ask, the more likely I am to get my answer I figure, so I also posted the quest up at Board Game Geek and, RPG Geek, spreading my net even wider.. Could you help though?
Are you a member of a gaming forum that might be able to help? Do you have a blog and could spare a few column inches? If so, could you post up a link to the original post there and a link to your post there, here as a comment? A bit of an ask I know but it would REALLY help spread the word.
As you can tell, I'm REALLY REALLY determined to find this book again.
