I am looking for any books on the Skull cleaning process. If any one has a choice I would appreciated where to find such a book. Thanks

there are any books, at least that I've seen, but if you do a search here on the forum, you will find TONS of posts on how to clean skulls in many various ways - my method included :)
Try these searches or any combination:
skull cleaning
european mount
skull clean bleach
skull beetle cleaning
skull boil peroxide
Wolfwoman
go there. There is an article on skull cleaning which is pretty detailed.
Maceration is another search word to use in your search.
And you have now heard from the 3 biggest skull geeks on the forum - LOL!
There is actually 2 more skull/skeleton "geeks" that you missed Raven ;-) The one and only Wolf and there is a Taxidermologist around that wrote a great deal of skull cleaning info in the archives.
Lost Warrior, there are a handful of skull cleaning books, most of which are outdated or out of print. Try university libraries, or natural history museums. There is also a great deal on the internet beyond the limits of this forum. Only books I can think of off the top of my head are the Breakthrough Manuals to Reptiles and Mammals both have small but detailed articles regarding skull cleaning using various methods.
Good luck,
Wolf
