I agree with others that a whole book is asking a bit much. But selected quotes that you bring into session to talk about is a great idea.
I gave my T an academic journal article once because it deconstructed a group therapy situation that I felt was exactly what I was experiencing with a dysfunctional group I was involved with, and he was very appreciative. In that case, the article did much better than I could have to explain what was happening, and since it was happening outside of my indiv therapy, it allowed us to work through what I needed to do without spending nearly as much of my therapy time.
