I'm confused. Why do you need anything at all from Looney Labs? If
you get all the designers' permissions, you can just publish the book
yourself. I don't even think the term "Icehouse" is trademarked. If
you want to publish a book, just publish a book. If you want to be
provocative you could even call it "The Unauthorized Guide to Icehouse
Games" or something.
