Guide to Surviving Prostate Cancer by Patrick Walsh is one of the best. It's
often cosidered the "Bible" on the subject.

$12 at www.amazon.com

I suggest a very good (Dr Strum )that explains a lot about different
treatments - It is more current that the book written by Dr Walsh who is a
Urologist and in most cases favors the RP.
Go to this site to obtain book and a  CD in a special kit.
It also includes locations of support groups in your area -A good place to
talk to men who have treatment  by various doctors, etc.

might i add "making love again" by virginia and keith laken. ISBN
09655067-8-9

the front cover reads -

'after you stop making love temporarily, how long does it take until you
slide into stopping permanently?"

when virginia laken asked herself this question, her marriage was
suffering.  she and her husband keith, felt distanced from each other by
a lack of sexual intimacy.  while a radical prostatectomy has saved
keith's life form prostate cancer, it had also taken away his ability to
get an erection. and neither knew how to make their love life "right"
again.

in their ground-breaking book, this very real couple offers the true and
incredibly candid story of how they regained physical intimacy after
sexual dysfunction. anyone who has ever felt such a  loss will benefit
from the lessons virginia and keith learned along their journey.

most importantly the couple discovered, it's not erections that allow
men and women to be intimate - it's an understanding of the need for a
safe and nonjudgmental place where mutual physical pleasure and
emotional care can flourish.

knowledge is power - growing old is mandatory - growing wise is optional    
"Many more men die with prostate cancer than of it. Growing old is
invariably fatal. Prostate cancer is only sometimes so."
