Newby to 8x10 B&W Processing

[jonpaul]

Can anyone share specific instructions or refer me to a good basic straight forward book on processing 8x10 B&W sheet film?
I am going to purchase an 8x10 field camera and want to shoot a little b&w along with my color work. I probably need to process it myself, so: I need instructions and I need to know which equipment (probably used) that I need to buy.
Thanks!
Jon
PS- I looked at other posts related, but need to start from square one.

You'd have better luck on the Large Format Forum than here. Lots of film die hards over there.

Jon, before you dive into an 8x10 you may want to consider a 4x5. It is an excellent learning tool for rise/fall/swing/tilt as well as sheet film processing and is only a "big" hit to the bank, not the "huge" hit an 8x10 is. Have you priced 8x10 film?
