If you're looking for hard-copy books, you could go to www.amazon.com, or your nearest international site, select "Books" from the drop-down box at the top, type "osCommerce" into the search query field and press the "Go" button.

I cannot recommend any specific books as I don't do a lot of reading myself :)
