Sure, I meant to find the books. There is for example focussed on 
Bioinformatics applications:

  	   	
Dudoit, Sandrine and van der Laan, Mark J (2008):
Multiple Testing Procedures with Applications to Genomics, Springer, New 
York.

But that is just one example - and I tend not to mention books in 
answers to such requests since books are a matter of taste and may 
depend on the audience, community in which to use the method, and the 
application.

For the good old methods, I only happen to know German textbooks. Should 
be summarized in any good overview textbook on testing, though.

Best,
