This book is not specifically geared towards social anxiety, but I think that many people with social anxiety may have this problem!. It is called "The Disease to Please" and it is about people that have an approval addiction, meaning they are fearful of being disliked etc!.

I experience social anxiety in terms of having sweaty palms, shaky voice, perspiration in front of others!. However, I realized that my social anxiety also causes me to be a "people pleaser!." I always want to be approved!. I have a hard time sending food back to a server if it is bad!. I have a hard time telling a salesperson I am not interested for fear of disapproval!.

I may be wrong but I think that many with social anxiety could benefit from that book!. You could also search for books on "assertiveness" or maybe go to amazon!.com and type in "social anxiety" or "social phobia"
