He was probably talking about Gradsheyn and Rytzik. They were Russian Jews and their book (no matter the edition) is indeed a masterpiece worth having.

Could be Gradsheyn and Rytzik.
There are others like Prudnikov, Brychkov, and Marichev.
Whichever it is beware that many of the integrals in those books are complicated, hard, or wrong; sometimes all three.

Here are some solved problems
