Great book! It's by Eloise Ristad.
Another book that you might look at is Lamperti's Vocal Wisdom. I love it
and find myself referring back to it time and again for insights and
information.
I also enjoy and recommend "The Last Prima Donnas" by Lanfrance Rasponi--not
so much because you'll learn a great deal about technique, but you will get a
perspective on the hard work, discipline, dedication and attention to detail
that are vital to great artistry. And you'll get lots of information on
repertoire and a history lesson at the same time!
More on books not related to singing--
A former teacher once recommended "Zen and the Art of Archery." I've never
read it, although I read "Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance" (which I
believe is similar) at the insistence of a man that I was dating at the time.
