I have on occasion suggested to coaches that they check the rule book (in the dugout).
As to bringing it on the field, the reason, timing, and demeanor are more important to me than what the coach may or may not have in his/her hand. Showing up the umpire is cause for ejection, not merely having a rule book in the hand. I do understand the traditional view on this; it has just not been an issue for me in practice.
But, in the dugout? No problem; have at it. He might learn something.
