I own and have read a number of Photoshop books, including several on black
and white. By far the best on  black and white is Barry Thornton's book
"Elements of Transition." The subtitle is "From traditional to digital
monochrome fine prints - a concise but complete guide." That describes it
exactly. While it is only 33 pages, it tells you a lot of what you need to
know without confusing you with too much detail. You can read about it at:

(The rest you can learn by reading the postings on Digital BW. :-))

Unfortunately Barry Thornton died a few months ago and the book is not
available right now. If you are interested in the book write to me off-list.
