The Darkroom Cookbook by Stephen Anchell
The Film Developing Cookbook by Stephen Anchell and Bill Troop
The Photographer's Toning Book by Tim Rudman

Steve Simmons Using The View Camera
The Ansel Adams trilogy plus his Making 40 Photographs book.
Kodak Professional Photoguide
Kodak Black & White Darkroom Dataguide
Sanderson's Night Photography
Anchell's Darkroom Cookbook
Garrett's The Art of Black and White Photography
are the most used 'info' books in my collection.
