Successful Negative Making,
2nd Edition,
by T. Thorne
Baker, Focus Photographic Manuals No.1, 1905.
This booklet doesn't have any emulsion recipes, but
rather speaks to the best ways to handle the commercial plates
of the (1905) day, and is therefore a gold mine of practical
information for working with our own plates.
A TLF library book.

Silver Gelatin,
by Martin
Reed and Sarah
Jones,
Amphoto Books, 1996.
This is really about using Liquid Light or the other
prepared emulsions, but there is a bunch of solid information
for the person who may not have an extensive darkroom
background. In
addition, there are a number of emulsion recipes from original
publications, primarily Baker and Wall.
Used books are currently very expensive, but there is a
reprint offered directly from Martin Reed and Silverprint:
