Digital Color Halftoning (Spie/IEEE Series)
by Henry R. Kang

Editorial Reviews
Book News, Inc.
Aimed primarily at technical professionals in the field of digital color
imaging, the book explains the halftone process and how to design halftone
screens and screenless processes for research and development purposes. The
first three parts describe halftone development and techniques from a
technological and historical viewpoint; present tools for color measurement
and image analysis; and cover fundamental concepts, models, and metrics for
halftone design. The last section discusses in-depth each major halftone
technique, including clustered-dot-ordered dither, error diffusion,
iterative and search-based methods, and inverse halftoning. -- Copyright ©

And there is a host more....they all seem to call it "digital halftoning",
and the description of the first book certainly lists "...dithering" as a
halftone technique...  At least some people still call it "halftoning" ;-)

I'll go to B&N/MIT COOP and see if they have any of these...
