Not about him specifically but Amazon have a few about the Beach Boys:

Wouldn't It Be Nice: Brian Wilson and the Making of the Beach Boys' Pet Sounds (The Vinyl Frontier series)
by Charles L. Granata

Heroes and Villains: The True Story of the Beach Boys
by Steven Gaines, Da Capo Press

The Beach Boys: The Definitive Diary of America's Greatest Band on Stage and in the Studio
by Keith Badman, Tony Bacon

I read 'I Just Wasn't Made For These Times - Brian Wilson and the making of Pet Sounds' by Charles L. Granata which Is the same book under a different title that ursula62 has in her answer, under 'Wouldn't it be nice...'

It's very good.

I would also suggest that you buy (if you haven't already) 'The Pet Sounds Sessions' 4 CD box set (HMV have them on sale at the moment) which has all the tracks remastered in both mono & stereo + sessions, backing tracks & out-takes etc. and why stop there - the 'Good vibrations' 5 CD box set is a very good greatest hits package.
