I use the two books by Stephen Anchell - 'the film
developing cookbook', and 'the darkroom cookbook',
which between them give not only recipies for various
things, but also a lot of good advice on what does
what in the mixture.
A couple of other tips:
Invest in a good quality scale (you can often get
triple beam balances for cheap at police auctions)
It is hard to find larger containers for mixing
chemicals in. I found a 5L plastic beaker at a
surplus store which has made life much easier. Before
that I used a plastic 2Gallon bucket which I had
marked 0.5L graduations on the side with a felt tip
pen
