The only book on cob that I have seen is the Cob Reader put out by Cob 
Cottage Company.  This booklet contains a collection of articles on cob
(about 60-70 pages), I don't consider it to be adequate for learning to
make cob, but it is a good resource.  I have heard that a book on cob is 
in the works, but my impression is that it is just being started.

To order the Cob Reader, get the Cob Product Order Form from the Cob Cottage
web site: "http://www.deatech.com/cobcottage".  I think it costs about $12.
