The best books on vacuum are in reprint and a number of good titles are listed on the AVS website
www.vacuum.org
go to the education page and click on classics. These books are the best there is on vacuum technique. They are older and are being reprinted. They are classics becasue the info in them never gets old and the tips are as solid as the day they were written.
Good luck in getting the plasma physics lab up and running.
