try the bostick + sullivan website
Well, either I am missing something, or the usual sources - Kodak, Ilford, etc. would be a good place to start. They both have darkroom data guides published. There's also always the Ansel Adams series - The Camera, The Negative, and The Print and a myriad of others. Mason Resnick maintains the Black & White Photography page http://www.photogs.com/bwwworld
Or, if you mean using the hand applied emulsions like Silverprint from Luminos and Rockland Coloid's product, Liquid Light, there is a wonderful book on the subject - "Silver Gelatin" by Reed and Jones, ISBN 0817458859 for the paperback edition
Try, Spirits of Salts, by Martin Reed and Randall Webb. It may have what you are looking for, or at leat offer some other older printing methods.
