Digital BW, The Print

Katrin Eismann's book 'Adobe Photoshop Restoration and Retouching'
(ISBN 0321316274) discusses many methods of conversion to B&W. As well
as the usual methods (Channel Mixer, Calculations, Lab mode) she
describes Russell Brown's 'Film and Filter' method, which I've found
very useful.

I'd recommend her book in any case as a good intermediate level
Photoshop book. It's not just about 'restoration', despite the title.
