Where can I buy the Book?

Someone please tell me where I can find a copy of the book that says when you get a runner on first you have to bunt her over to second. I have been searching online, especially Amazon.com, but they don't seem to have it.
I'm assuming there is a book. Every coach I've been watching lately seems to do it automatically. Doesn't matter what the score is, what inning it is, or whether there are no outs or one out. They can't all be coming to that same conclusion by themselves. There has to be a book that has this requirement in there.
Or could it be they simply don't have any other ideas. Here's a suggestion. Let the kids hit now and then. Fake bunt and slap. Fake a slap and steal the base. You increase your chances of scoring a runner from second if you don't make an out to get her there. It gives you an extra out for something good to happen.
