Making buffers, Buffer "tricks"
If you work with biological buffers, they're well worth understanding. Spreadsheets offer convenient calculation and visualization. I recommend Chapter 8 of Robert T Scopes' Protein Purification, 2nd ed Springer Verlag, 1987 for a brief, but extensive introduction.
For a thorough and classical treatment of acids, bases and buffers see Biophysical Chemistry, Edsall and Wyman, Academic Pr, 1958
For buffer pKas and recipes see Buffers for pH and Metal Ion Control, D.D.Perrin and Boyd Dempsey, Chapman and Hall, 1974 (out of print) - find a library which has it.
