You could try of this link:

Once you are through laughing go back to the main Black and White World page and select the Toolkit from the drop down list at the top left corner of the page. Click on the Alternative Processes link and you'll see a couple of good articles.

You can also visit Calumet's web site (http://www.calumetphoto.com/) and browse the links to their book list, or call them and ask for their Photo Arts Books Library Catalog.

Photographer's Formulary sells many alternative chemicals. You can check their catalog online at http:// www.montana.com/formulary/Index.html. There isn't much how-to information there but it will give you some starting points for your searches and maybe whet your appetite to try some of the alternative processes.

I just finished reading Creative Elements(Creative Techniques for Landscape Photography) by Eddie Ephraums, Amphoto Books, 1993. He has some wonderfully different landscape prints made with a 35mm and using different toning techniques.
