Yes, there are some wonderful books on acting available; most are nonsense but I will suggest some, a mix of inspiring works, technique books and history or theoretical books:
The Invisible Actor - Yoshi Oida, - take the Japanese perspective on acting as given by one of Peter Brook's favourite actors.
Play-Acting - by Luke Dixon - an usual book of games and exercises
Actors turned Directors by Jon Stevens - Stevens discusses acting and directing with famous movie actors who have become directors, includes Kevin Bacon and Jodie Foster.
To the Actor - Michael Chekhov (Simon Callow intro), a very different perspective on acting, transformational.
The Stanislavski Technique: Russia by Mel Gordon, some history of the technique, and a lot of games and exercises that were used by Stanislavski and his students.
Acting One - Professor Cohen
True and False - David Mamet, one of the only really pragmatic books on acting, scarily revealing and dangerous and subversive, this book upset a lot of the acting fraternity.
