Carbon: Where do I begin?

I thought I was happy with my little platinum and silver world until yesterday
when I saw my first carbon print in the flesh...Wow!

I'd appreciate any advice on how to begin with the process. Is the technique
described in "Keepers of the Light" fairly standard, or are there variations?
Also, I'm unclear on the type of light source used...Could anyone suggest other
references? I'll also search the alt.photo archives. How about suppliers for
materials? I would also be interested to learn if there are any workshops on
the carbon process or individuals willing to conduct tutorials. I live in the
central valley of California (near the Bay area), but would be willing to
travel.

Thanks in advance for everyone's help and to Steve for managing an invaluable
resource.
