Hi cherub,
   I don't think there is any book available for SAS-ADV.
I took the exam a month back and passed it.   I bought the online
course material from SAS. its little bit costly. the material helped me
but it was too detailed and if you have worked in SAS for a while you
can finish the material in one week (40 hrs). it took a little more
than a week for me to go through the material.
I wouldnt suggest that you should go through the material for the test.
if you strong in proc SQL (which is like 40% of question) and basic SAS
macro (30%) and a hand on experience with proc datasets, merging
techniques , proc sort and proc format . you should be fine.

SAS ADV test takers please do correct me if i am worng!!!
best of luck
