There are a lots of books on temperament. Which one are you asking about?

Several of them are listed at this Amazon address, including a couple
of CDs <http://www.amazon.com/Six-degrees-tonality-well-tempered-piano/dp/B00005B7GY/sr=1-9/qid=1169995665/ref=sr_1_9/104-7696385-2437532?ie=UTF8&s=music>

I have a two-cassette French Erato set MCE 9267-2 called Musique et
Temperament, with about 50 temperaments demonstrated in brief segments
on harpsichord and organ. The documentation is in French, but the
temperament names are pretty much the same as in English. I don't
think it's been reissued on CD, though. One of the performers, Pierre
Yves Assselin, wrote a book, which is also out of print.

This site (again in French) has MP3s demonstrating a number of
temperaments. <http://www.bestwebbuys.com/Musique_Et_Temperament-ISBN_2905335009.html?isrc=b-search>

Finally, here's a huge bibliography
