&gt; Oh, you mean because "pocket" is pronounced like *paqet*, and {paq} 
&gt; means "book", pronounced like {buq}...? I believe that's a bit farfetched. 
&gt; In my opinion, Marc Okrand grabbed his TKD, saw the cover note on the 
&gt; left, and thought "Oh, pocket books... then pocket is book, i.e. buq". 
&gt; This is quite similar to Babe Ruth and Das Boot. 
Aye, there's probably some truth to that... ...but it's fun to retcon ;)
