I don't know any books, but Premier Guitar has several articles/lessons about slide.

Slide Standard Tuned

I have a couple of DVDs that give the basics ...

Rick Vito ... Complete Guide to Slide Guitar  Published by Hal-Leonard

and

Roy Rogers ... Slide Guitar For Rock & Blues  Published by Homespun

They are not that bad and might give you and idea of what might be available to you.

I've never used a slide, but a recent AG article was interesting to read.  She uses the slide above the joint claiming better dexterity.  Enjoy the read.

Thanks, I just ordered the Vito dvd, his “reflection” has changed since he was on the live lessons with Steve.I also ordered  Koch’s book.Now, I just need another guitar. Perhaps Martin Guitars will read the post and call, like they did Rory, to have me swing  by and pick one up.?
