Hello Ehud,

Go to Amazon and get Mastering Black and White Digital Photography by Michael Freeman. 
It's very comprehensive.

You might also want to try Convert to Black and White Pro, Version 3, by The Imaging 
Factory website. I believe it has a free trial period. I use this program all the time to 
convert to black and white. It's very intuitive: You can select a prefilter,
; various "film types", such as Kodak, Ilford, Agfa; set your contrast; and even tone if you 
want. 

It removes all of the Channel Mixer headaches, and greatly speeds up your workflow.
