Response to Darkroom Manuals

I don't think you will find anything more advanced than the two Anchell cookbooks. Any chemistry in the four books you have listed can be found there. I would recommend the Graves book as an excellent advanced printing source and it goes into a little more depth about how paper developers work and how they can be made to suit specific printing needs. One book not on your list is Creative Elements: Darkroom Techniques for Landscape Photography by Eddie Ephraums, also the author of the first book you listed. He does extensive toning of his prints and this book contains some valuable toning formulas and information on use. I would also go to Unblinkingeye.com where there are sveral excellent articles about developers and toning of prints and all pertinent formulas.
