Zucadragon--my recent analysis of the RATE radiocarbon claims might be helpful:
RATE's Radiocarbon - Intrinsic or Contamination?and there is a broader coverage of RATE claims here:
RATE and Age of the Earth - Radiometric Dating
If you want textbooks, I like three by Erv Taylor which take an archaeological approach:
R.E. Taylor,
Radiocarbon Dating, an Archaeological PerspectiveR.E. Taylor,
Chronometric Dating in ArchaeologyR.E. Taylor,
Radiocarbon After Four Decades
For books taking a geological approach, I like:
G. Faure,
Principles of Isotope GeologyM. Geyh,
Absolute Age Determination
Kirk
