There are two books I know of that deal with IP over ATM:

1. Internetworking with TCP/IP Volume 1 (third revision) ISBN 0-13-474321-0
by D. Comer. This is an excellent book about the TCP/IP protocol suite and
internetwork design principles. This also handles RFC 1577 Classical IP
over ATM.

2. ATM and Multiprotocol Networking ISBN 0-07-057724-2 by G. Sackett and C.
Metz. I haven't read this one but it is the only book I know of that
handles IP over ATM in any detail.

As was mentioned in other replies, there are various open and proprietary
standards on the market for IP over ATM. A partial list follows:

Open Standards
RFC 1483 Multiprotocol Encapsulation over ATM Layer 5
RFC 1577 CLIP
IETF NHRP (Draft document)
ATM Forum LANE version 1.0 and 2.0
ATM Forum MPOA version 1.0
IETF MPLS (draft documents)

Proprietary Standards 
Ipsilon IP Switching
Cascade IP Navigator
IBM ARIS
IBM MSS (based on LANE and NHRP)
Cisco Tag Switching 
Toshiba Cell Switch Routing
Siemens/Newbridge CSI (Based on MPOA)
