Maybe not entirely relevant, but at work I have a copy of "Spirits of salts - a working guide to old photographic processes" by Randall Webb & Martin Reed. Published by Argentum, and imprint of Aurum Press, 25 Bedford Avenue, London WC1B 3AT. I won't tell you the price 8-( Mainly concerned with really obscure stuff like Van Dyke prints, Palladium prints and bromoil, it nonetheless has some interesting and potentially useful information.
