Digital BW, The Print

Zack,

I started using photoshop 2 years ago.  At the time I found "Photoshop 5
Artistry" published by New Riders (ISBN 1-56205-895-9) to be the best in
terms of focusing on photography, and illustrating how the tools are used to
correct/optimize images.  It, like most other books, focuses on colour
images.  It also assumes a modest level of Photoshop skills so depending on
your familiarity with computers you may want a basic intro to Photoshop as
well.

The other book that I would recommend is Photoshop Restoration and
Retouching (ISBN 0789723182).  This is a great book.

It takes most people quite a while to get 'proficient' with Photoshop so
don't get discouraged if it seems overwhelming initially.

As for printing quadtone B&W images this list is the best source if
information I have found.
