Is this “New Pagans’ Handbook” from the famous “Regency BoS” ?

Yes, I suppose it could be termed the Regency’s ‘Book of Shadows’, though I never heard Chalky call it that. I think ‘Book of Shadows’ is really a Gardnerian term.
But these are the rituals that were used by the Regency, in the form in which Ron White prepared them for publication in the mid-1980s (though the text has stayed in manuscript until now).
Ronald ‘Chalky’ White (1924–1998) was an artist, poet and mystic. He was a prominent figure in the Pagan revival of the 1960s and 70s. In 1966 he and his friend George Winter founded the Regency, a group which held regular public ceremonies to observe the festivals of the seasons. This website has been set up to celebrate his life and work.
It is intended to update it regularly on Wednesdays and Sundays.
This link has been passed by a friend but I would be grateful if you can include me on your email list for any future communication.
