Reading Standard Notation
This is the book I mentioned I used for working on reading music. I liked this a lot but it might be pretty intense depending on your level and your goals.
Reading Studies for Guitar - Leavitt - amazon.com/Reading-Studies-Guitar-Positions-Multi-Position/dp/0634013351
For many, a more practical way to learn note-reading is to study classical guitar. Classical is often taught by learning a processive series of exercises and songs by reading standard notation. This is a popular book I used years ago for this.
