Sorry, I don't know about any books that cover soap4r in depth. The 
Agile Web Development with Rails covers some aspects of AWS, and there 
is the online manual of AWS at http://manuals.rubyonrails.com/read/book/10
I wrote a blog post just 2 days ago about how to consume Web Services 
with soap4r over a ssl mutual authentication protected channel.

soap4r is not that difficult to grasp, may I ask what you are looking 
for in such a book?
