I have not idea of what book can talk about this subject in the way you need, nevertheless I suggest you to read everything regarding thixotropy, this behavior is desirable at paints and is strongly related with solvent. I'm pretty sure this single subject will be a good start for you.

Well if you can speak german the most informative book about solvents is:

Hans Kittel Band 4, Lösemittel, Weichmacher und Additive

S. Hirzel Verlag, 2007

ISBN-13:9783777610146

More than 500 pages about solvents, softeners and additives for the paint industry.

But I must admit there is not too much literature about solvents for paints as it is something we just need for transporting the binder out of the can onto the the substrate and that has to leave the film after having done this job.

Very helpful for coatings technology is the

BASF Handbook: Basics of Coatings technology, from Athur Goldschmidt at Vincentz Network

ISBN 978-3-86630-903-6 also available as e-book

It is a very useful book, that still often use and that I recommend to every one, but it contains only 8 pages about solvents.
