I don't know of any books that focus on recording acoustic music... Study history of recording if you want to learn. There are plenty of resources that document how RCA, Decca, and others did their recordings.

Beyond that, my only tip is this: If you find that you need to EQ or compress an acoustic music recording much, look at the way you recorded it. The best recordings are made by using great mics and preamps with great mic position. Don't let effects be your crutch.
