It looks like you might be interested in the PMBOK6 companion, Agile Practice Guide. It is available for pre-order now, with a September 6 release date. Saving Changes...
Is that the standard book prescribed by PMI though? I know PMBOK is The Book for PMP followed by Exam prep books. What's the equivalent for PMI ACP? Saving Changes...

Considering it is the only Agile book in the PMI store that is produced by PMI, I would say it is the closest thing to a PMI standard.

I too just purchased this book and really find it easy to use and full of all of the information I will need to know. But I have been studying agile for a few years now and a lot of it is familiar. I like that it tells me how the information may be asked on the examination. I'm scheduled to take my exam on Oct. 20th.

"All the questions on the examination have been written and extensively reviewed by qualified agile subject matter experts and are supported by current published references in agile topics."
