Rendering with Mental Ray and 3ds max is a good book. It is based on 3.5 ad max 2008 but you should be all set because it covers the A&D materials. There are the new Pro Materials in Max 2009 with 3.6 but that's straight forward once you understand how to use the A&D materials.

Here is a link to amazon:
