This are two books someone suggest me some time ago.
Clein, Dan
CMOS IC Layout
Newnes
ISBN 0-7506-7194-7
CMOS IC Layout: concept, methologies and tools
Hastings, Alan
The Art of Analog Layout
Prentice-Hall
ISBN 0-13-087061-7
The Art of Analog Layout, Integrated Circuits - Design & Construction
They are both interesting. My preference is 'The Art of Analog Layout'.
You can get them form amazon.com.

I am not sure if this book will help you with any particular tool, but the
basic concepts are best described (IMO) in this book.

Algorithms for VLSI Physical Design Automation
Author: Naveed A. Sherwani
Binding: Hardcover, 512 pages
Publisher: Kluwer Academic Publishers
Published Date: 01/01/1993
List: USD $130.00
ISBN: 0792392949
A bit bulky - but worth every page, I would say. We used it during our VLSI
Master's programme and was extremely useful.

Thanks for the tip, Srini.
I was first worried about the publish date: 1993. A bit outdated. ;-)
But I found a 3rd edition (1998) at http://www.wkap.nl/prod/b/0-7923-8393-1
That looks like what I searched for.
