Yes, that is the Gunning book.

Two other small books on modular forms and related things are

Richard Bellman, A brief introduction to theta series

and

Jean-Pierre Serre, Cours d'arithmetique (there is an English translation)

They are both thin, and truly great - and written by great mathematicians.
("Fairyland" is a quote from the Bellman book.)
