You can search inside the file, if it is there.
Also Wikipedia states the title of the book as "Brideshead Revisited: The Sacred & Profane Memories of Captain Charles Ryder", if that is the title you are looking for (I guess not?).

Thanks for that. I checked Gutenburg.org and didn't find it there, but I'll continue the search. The "Brideshead Revisited: The Sacred & Profane Memories of Captain Charles Ryder" is just the Brideshead Revisited book itself with the original subtitle. In it they mention a book that Charles Ryder created sometime after the flashback events in the story and before the war-time events.

After my first exhibition I was called to all parts of the country to make portraits of houses that were soon to be deserted or debased; indeed, my arrival seemed often to be only a few paces ahead of the auctioneer’s, a presage of doom. I published three splendid folios—Ryder’s Country Seats, Ryder’s English Homes, and Ryder’s Village and Provincial Architecture, which each sold its thousand copies at five guineas apiece. …
...There in great labor, sickness and occasionally in some danger, I made the first drawings for Ryder's Latin America.
The title was something like "Manors and Churches of Sussex" or some such. Can anyone tell me the full proper title? I know that the book is fictional but I need it for a quiz that I'm creating.
