A serious look at bubbles.  This book will tell you about the chemistry of bubbles, minimal surfaces, the black film. A good history of bubbles is also included.

The book has lots of information about having fun with bubbles.... how to make solutions, tools and such. The book is great for kids and adults.
 

This is a college-level book for serious bubblers. The book reviews basic concepts (surface tension, energy, etc.) and the basic physics of soap films and soap bubbles. Other topics: minimum surfaces in two and three dimensions, some practical applications of soap films, multiple bubbles, analog and analytical methods, and many others. The book contains some excellent color plates containing pictures of various soap films and illustrating some of the concepts.

Excellent book, title says it all.  It is a fairly old book, however, and may be a challenge to find.
