reference on p.adjust()

I'm wondering if there is a textbook that summarize the methods on
adjusting p-values for multiple comparisons. Most of the references on
p.adjust() are over 10 years old. I feel it would be better if
somebody could recommend me a textbook on multiple hypothesis
correction, so that I can quickly get a general idea of different
methods.

Being 10 years old does not mean the calculus behind those methods has 
changed.
There are some around just search for your keywords.

I never said that the calculus has been changed.
I prefer descriptions from books. Most online description are not very
satisfactory, because they are not peer reviewed.

I looked through Testing Statistical Hypotheses by Lehmann. This book
only gives references to the recent works. If you happen to know a
review article or a textbook that summarize all the methods in
multiple hypothesis correction. Please let me know.

Sure, I meant to find the books. There is for example focussed on 
Bioinformatics applications:

  	   	
Dudoit, Sandrine and van der Laan, Mark J (2008):
Multiple Testing Procedures with Applications to Genomics, Springer, New 
York.

But that is just one example - and I tend not to mention books in 
answers to such requests since books are a matter of taste and may 
depend on the audience, community in which to use the method, and the 
application.
For the good old methods, I only happen to know German textbooks. Should 
be summarized in any good overview textbook on testing, though.

Best,
