This is the only book I have found to provide formulas for calculating positions of planets. Unfortunately, I find the book tough reading, mainly because it assumes you are using an HP-25 (or HP-67 or HP-97) programmable calculator and without an understanding of that language the examples can be confusing. Oh, for completeness: ISBN 0 470 26552 3
