Best book you can get on titanium 
I did my doctoral thesis on reinforcement of Ti alloys with titanium boride. Anything by Donachie on the subject of titanium is a must have for a metallurgist working with Ti or Ti alloys. For every field, there is "the" book, and this is it for the topic of titanium metallurgy. There are a few other ASM publications on the topic and they are all worth having if you work in this field.
Inside, you will find everything from the formation of alpha laths to martensitic transistions, phase diagrams, relevant alloys and mechanical properties of said alloys, more than you ever wanted to know about Ti-6Al-4V, historical production data, common applications, and some unique phases or unexplained phenomena. I was hoping to make something out of the mess that has been made over the beta_1, beta_2, beta_prime, beta_double prime naming scheme and wasn't quite able to make it out - sometimes they refer to the same thing and sometimes they appear to be different. I used this book to make a translation table for that in my thesis.
The introductory chapters are an excellent reference for an undergraduate materials science class on the topic of non-ferrous metallurgy.
