No, you don't need a second person to play notes for you. Just stand or sit
at the piano with your eyes closed and play any note. Try to guess what you
played and then look to see if you're right. I realize you wouldn't
necessarily be conforming to the exercises in the book, but there isn't any
reason you couldn't do them in this manner. That's the way I've been trying
to learn pitches. Of course, having a well-tuned piano helps. :-)
