Maybe the book 'stability and optimization of structures'. You're probably not intersted in stability, but the optimization algorithmes might also work for nonsmooth optimization.
The main topic is subgradient methods, which are optimization methods when functions are not differentiable anymore (because of a kink, like x ->|x| for instance), which is grossely the subject of non-smooth optimization.
Otherwise the follwing book treats the subject, but it is a bit hard

NonSmooth Optimization reference
Yes indeed !
I would suggest you the following video courses: http://www.stanford.edu/class/ee364b/videos.html
