According to Page 15 of the book, this data is available from the US National Climatic Data Center, at http://www.ncdc.noaa.gov. Once you get to this site, there is a menu of links on the left-hand side of the page, listed under the heading ‘Data & Products’. I suspect that the entry labelled ‘Free Data’ is the most likely area you need to investigate :-)
