Hi
fexact.c points you to the original ACM paper:
Well, you'll get a better idea from the help page as to the real
'original' source reference: the reference below is to a revised
version in a remark.
And indeed Agresti's book (first edition on the help page, also has a
2002 second edition) is a good source for the 'minutiae'.

You may find the discussion in the vignette("fishervig")

Can somebody point me a book on Fisher's exact test? I looked a few
webpages. But the descriptions on the webpages are not very complete.
Is there a book on that covers all the aspect of Fisher's exact test
that is implemented in R?
Section 15.2 of my book (Statistical Analysis and Data Display, with
Burt Holland and published by Springer)
shows a detailed example.
It doesn't mention odd ratio.
The general idea of basing the inference on the noncentral hypergeometric
distribution is something I have first seen in Breslow&Day's famous 1980
book on case-control studies, including the fact that the conditional MLE
differs from the ordinary OR. (I'm sure there's an earlier reference, but I
happened to be a grad student when that book came out...)
The rest of what R does is "carbon copied" from similar procedures for the
binomial distribution. I wouldn't know what kind of book to look for for
that sort of minutiae. Alan Agresti is a possible source.
