Darkroom Manuals

I'm looking for some ADVANCED darkroom books. I already bought the two essential "cookbooks" which have helped me a lot improving my technique. Now I'm interested in somrthing more advanced, dealing esp. with photographic chemistry. I found this obscure book at Amazon.com which seems to be the only book available dealing specifically with photographic chemistry, it's called "Chemistry of Photography" by Roger K Bunting. ISBN 0961672404. Has anybody read it?

Also in the list: 1- Gradient Light : The Art and Craft of Using Variable Contrast Paper

2- The Variable Contrast Printing Manual by Steve Anchell.

3- Darkroom Dynamics : A Guide to Creative Darkroom Techniques by Jim Stone.

4- The Elements of Black and White Printing by Carson Graves.

I'd appreciate any suggestions or feedback regarding these books.

Much regards Xosni
