I've never come across a published book *only* on the C API. The
main docs [1] aren't bad, in my opinion, although what suits one person
won't necessarily suit another. Mark Lutz's Programming Python [2]
includes a couple of chapters which are essentially an alternative
take on the material in the docs. There are a few published articles
around, although not many I think. And there's the C-API mailing list [3]
which is quite helpful.
